Hickory Ridge is a very nice golf course but it is challenging. Long, narrow fairways lined with trees and if that isn't enough lets throw in lots of water to deal with.

After our Match today, Matt complained about his shoulder pain. I guess his shoulder should hurt; he did play two rounds of golf in 4 hours.

Next week we are finally coming to a home course – Franconia. Tee times will be made on Wednesday. Right now it looks like we are leaning towards playing on Saturday and then going to Matt’s mom’s birthday party that evening. (Look Dan, another bithday party)

The following Sunday is Mother’s Day. We should check to see if the women want to play on Saturday moring at Pine Knoll. If not we can do the trifecta (Mini Golf, Pitch and Putt & Pine Knoll with the Championship of the World (18TH) on Saturday morning. Sunday can be a day of rest for you on Mother’s Day.
