Port St. John's Golfing, Part II

Port St. John's golf club consists of nine holes with two different sets of tees for each hole so that you could play 18 holes if you wanted.  The greens and fairways overlap and Cris-cross each other.  The grass on the greens is about the length of a plush carpet.  The fairways are the length of the grass on your lawn, and the rough was "rough".  The greens were also the smallest that I have ever played.  The course does require accurate irons because most of the greens were any bigger than 20 feet in diameter.  They were just mowed circles into the rough.  It was delightfully perfect!

 

We were approached by a local teenager who wanted to join us on hole 2.  It was glad that he did because he told me after I hit my second shot on hole #1 that I was hitting to the completely wrong green.  Lol the score card did not have any kind of map so I was just winging it.  His friend was already waiting at the #2 tee.  He did not play very much. but the 15 year old who asked if he could join us was a pretty decent player.  He played barefoot most of the time and had the most rudimentary of equipment, but he had a good swing.  It was really cool to see.

 

The pic attached is a panoramic of a portion of the golf course.  It wasn't until I got home and downloaded the pics onto my computer that I paused and had two thoughts as I looked at this pic...

 

1)  This was the first time that I have ever played golf where I was the only white guy in the foursome.  hahahaha

2)  And a related observation, this was the first time I have ever played golf where I was the only white person on the entire golf course.  ;)

 

Just was an interesting afterthought...

 

Cheers,
