I love links golf!
Bandon trip has one day to go.
Got in Saturday 1:00 pm. Played the Preserve, a 13 hole par 3 course, and did the " punch bowl", a putting green with 36+ holes on it.
Played 36 Sunday, Bandon Dunes and Bandon Trails, followed by 18 at Pacific Trails Monday, with a massage after Monday's round. Finish up with Old Mac today.
Have had same caddy for all three rounds (just carried ourselves/pushcart on par 3), who does great job reading greens, telling you where to hit it.
Food is OK, but it's great having everything right here, vs going to Scotland where you've got to spend a lot of time in transit.
Rates this time of year are $100 for par 3, $270 for others, but we are only paying 1/2 that as the guy who organized has some sort of connection. Caddies get $100 per bag per 18.
Weather has been mid 60's, sunny, with wind to 15-20 mph, although today has chance of rain.
Oh, and I'm playing as good as I ever have, shooting 73-75-74 so far. First two days, I virtually hit everything where the caddy told me (16 greens in the 73), and scrambled like crazy, making everything inside 10 feet in the third round.
Highly recommend if you have a group of guys who really really love golf.
Great to hear you're having such a good trip, and playing so well!
I'm jealous of the great scores.
My caddie was from Texas, he did a great job.
