Casa Trip Day 5 – Stableford Final

Posted on by Retired Golf Hack

Awesome dinner at Potbelly Sushi last night down at the Marina.  It was a late night and we had early tee times today (Saturday).  I arrived at the breakfast buffet at 6AM only to discover it did not open until 6:30.  With a 7:40 tee time at Dye Fore – a 20 minutes shuttle ride away – we were going to cut it close again.  Tomorrow is the last day of the trip and our final round at Teeth of the Dog, but today is the closing round of the Stableford Tournament.

Casa Trip Day 3 – The “Tourney” Begins

Posted on by Retired Golf Hack

The Teeth was severely over-booked by the resort and the round lasted almost 5 hours with long waits on each shot.  Most of the par 3’s had 2 or 3 groups backed up.  Even with that, I played well until the last hole – more on that later. Continue reading →
