Monday<\/em> \u2013 Oxmore \u2013 Valley Course & Short Course<\/a>: This is one of the RTJ courses.\u00a0 The Valley course here was good but the short course (all par 3\u2032s) is one of the top rated par 3 courses in the nation.\u00a0 Even though we got rained out after 12 holes, I have to say \u2013 I am putting this 18 hole par 3 course on my gotta play that one again list.<\/p>\n Tuesday<\/em> \u2013 Farmlinks<\/a>: An interesting course with an interesting story.\u00a0 Golf World says this is the #1 course in Alabama.\u00a0 I have to say it\u2019s a great track and the wide fairways allow you to let the shaft out; which was a nice change of pace from what we have been playing.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve got a minute \u2013 click the link and check out the story on Farm Links.<\/p>\n Wednesday<\/em> \u2013 Capitol Hill – The Judge<\/a>: Another RTJ course.\u00a0 This will beat you up if you\u2019re not prepared.\u00a0 The first hole is the signature hole for The Judge and one of the signature holes for the RTJ Golf Trail.\u00a0 I\u2019m playing this one again when I get a chance.<\/p>\n Thursday<\/em> \u2013 Limestone Springs<\/a>: Nice track but nothing special.\u00a0 I played it from the tips with my buddy Gordo; who is a scratch golfer.\u00a0 That, combined with the fact that we went through a couple Bloody Mary\u2019s and several beers could have something to do with my opinion of this course.\u00a0 Wouldn\u2019t mind playing it again minus the alcohol just to verify.<\/p>\n Friday<\/em> \u2013 Ross Bridge<\/a>: Another RTJ course & easily, IMHO, the best course we played.\u00a0 It looked like we were going to get rained out and I was seriously contemplating not even going to the golf course with the rest of the guys this morning.\u00a0 Sure glad I decided to go (and so are Dean-O and Ivy, cuz we were WAY off course with Ivy\u2019s GPS \u2013 but that\u2019s another story).\u00a0 This course is one of the best I\u2019ve ever played.\u00a0 Based on the golf we\u2019ve played, the best golf day in the area would be 18 holes here at Ross Bridge then, literally across the street, to Oxmoor and play their 18 hole short course.\u00a0 If I\u2019m ever back, that is exactly what I\u2019ll be doing!!<\/p>\n First at The Judge.<\/p><\/div>\n Back on the scooter:\u00a0 Today is Friday, May 10. Two of the LA Center guys hopped a flight home right after golf, the rest are staying in Birmingham another night.\u00a0 I paid for the room through Saturday in advance, but I just couldn\u2019t pass up the opportunity to get farther west and hopefully miss some of the pending rain.\u00a0 SO \u2013 about 4:30 I said my goodbyes & headed for Tupelo, MS.\u00a0 I could swear that I smelled gas and-uh that ain\u2019t good eats.\u00a0 Pulled over but couldn\u2019t find anything and a couple gas stops with odometer checks revealed normal mileage \u2013 strange\u2026..oh well, Tupelo here I come.\u00a0 I got here just in time too \u2013 it was dark enough (because of the clouds) that I\u2019d swear I could see my headlight shining on the road.\u00a0 Right now I\u2019m holed up in the Super 8 doing laundry & watching the nasty thunderstorm go through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I really didn\u2019t want to bore all of you with the details from my golf outings here in Birmingham so I didn\u2019t do daily posts.\u00a0 Today however, it\u2019s the end of the trip and I\u2019ll hit the highlights for you.\u00a0 … Continue reading ![\"First](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lennysride.com\/2013\/whiskeypapa\/here\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/1st-Tee.jpg?resize=584%2C730\")
