We played our usual Tuesday golf at Shawnee. I tried to get them to wait a couple of weeks before playing Shawnee GC. But, NOOO, they had to play at Shawnee. I think Gene McDonald wanted to give the Pro there a little business because he's had such a rough couple of months. And I can appreciate that, but the course is just not ready for play yet.
No, this is not a picture of Shawnee, but it could be. There really wasn't any standing water, but a lot of sloppy, soft mud. And I mean 'every' fairway. Every shot you hit plugged! I shot a 44 on the front nine and cleaned mud off my ball 44 times. I didn't have a clean spot left on my two towels. I played the front nine and told the guys I was playing with that that was enough for me. I packed up my clubs and left.
I'll give Shawnee a couple of weeks before I try it again. They're planning to play there Thursday, I think, and I'm not playing. If they move to Iroquois I'll try to make it, even though it looks bad for rain tomorrow.
I would advise anyone who reads this blog to avoid Shawnee GC for
at least 2 more weeks!
