Sugarloaf Mountain - Practice Round

The practice round went well today. It took me a while to find the place, but after I got there it didn't take long to realize how nice the course was. If somebody would of just dropped you off at this golf course, I don't think you'd guess that you where in Florida. I didn't know Florida had that much elevation. From the clubhouse, which is the highest point, you could see for miles. It was definitely a pleasant change of pace from the traditional style of course we usually play here.

I played the first 4 holes by myself, before I was joined by another single who was behind me. He was a 70 year old snowbird from Canada who had been coming down to Florida for the last 30 years. By the time we finished 18, I felt like I knew everything about the guy. It was nice to have some company for the round, and if I ever make it to Toronto I've got a place to play.

Overall, it was a successful day. I was able to get a good feel for the layout of the course. There are several shots that require some knowledge about how to play them so this was a very valuable practice round. My tee time tomorrow is 12:15 off #10.
