Day 1097.
We were out in Brown County so we played BC3 (Brown County Country Club). This is the third time we've played the course in three years and I've gone from kind of liking this course to loving it. The improvements keep coming as each hole now has two concrete teepads (red & blue) and the course looks better every time we visit. It has the best next tee markers (in ground arrows), some challenging water hazards, the fairways and rough are mowed appropriately, and the "junk" on holes has either been beaten in by play and/or is being clipped down nicely. This course greatly increases my appetite for pay-to-play courses.
Since we're playing for fun we stuck with the red tees (the pins were mostly, if not all, in Pin A). The 24 holes start with eight wooded holes and then the rest are mostly park style with a few wooded and a few open holes.
We played dubs and my dad walked along with us and we threw our best round ever together. It isn't the longest course (but a lot of it is very technical) and we did play dubs and it was a casual round with no pressure . . . but we birdied the first 12 holes on our way to shooting an 18-under (58 on par 76 layout) which from looking at tournaments that have been held there I believe would be a 1058-rated round. We were hitting lines well all day, made every Circle 1 putt and three Circle 2 putts.
So yes, it was the shorter layout, yes, it was dubs, yes it was casual . . . but for one day together we got to feel together what it is like to be Paul McBeth on his average day. lol
Best pic of the day is this because it shows our witness (my dad) who couldn't believe it as we kept dropping in basically every putt . . . (he made the 25-30' putt on that hole #11 after having made 40' birdie putts on the previous two holes)
From that pic, you can see I owe Danny a beer (or in his case a SpeedyFreeze) because I landed on his disc on this 220' hole . . . sad though because this Gstar Thundebird pictured was my water disc I brought along and lost on Hole 23 trying to clear the lake on my second throw.
This was a neat mushroom next to one of the baskets . . .
Decoy swans on a pond looked good . . .
I like this basket using a stump as a pedestal . . .
Danny always wants his picture with the minion tank . . .
I always like taking his picture on this neat rustic log bridge . . .
The scorecard . . .
And it was a long dusty, backroad gravel drive to get there . . .

Hey Dan! Great round you guys had out here at BC3! So glad you enjoyed your visit here. We are working on tee signs as our next project and they start going up this month. I regularly clean up debris around the course and try to keep it in good shape.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I thought I'd mention you don't have to take a gravel road out to BC3! It is a shortcut if you are coming East to get here, but usually just as fast to go all the way into Nashville to get here. It's all paved road.
