Sugar Creek Country Club, (1st time)
Sugar Land TX
Robert Trent Jones, Sr-1972.
Built on former sugar cane fields we find a wonderful country club and community. Houses do border the course, but are spaced away from the play-seen but not heard.
Sr uses bunkering, creeks, ponds and beautiful oaks, that fill property, to create a tactical wonderland. I feel he offers underrated green complexes. He tilts, raises, angles, uses various sizes and depths, all to shape and match the approach shot. Nothing heroic or overly examining, just solid golf holes requiring solid shots.
Side note- three things occurred today that I have not seen/experienced.
- playing partner started the round with 5 straight birdies. Not seen that many to open- previously 4 to start.
- I made two pars w penalty shots.
- I hit a ball onto an incorrect green. Very odd occurrence, but then again I only played w odd numbered irons and wedges today.
A special thanks to my host, and playing partner for dealing with my shenanigans.
Regardless of your golf skill level, always maintain your rhythm and give your all in every shot.
Do you have any guiding principles that you swear by when playing on the green?
@acaseofthegolf1 His achievements are undeniable, and unlike others who squander their lives on so-called labels, he has even instilled correct values in his children. He is truly an excellent player and father
Most visitors at Sleepy Hollow donโt realize that the 6th, 7th and 8th holes on the 9-hole Lower Course were the opening holes from the original 1911 C.B. Macdonald design, including an early downhill Biarritz par-3.
I always try to encourage my guests - especially the Macdonald/Raynor fans and the fellow architecture nerds - to leave time to play the Lower. Not only do you get the 3 Macdonald originals, but the other holes are a lot of fun, especially the Punchbowl par-3 5th.
๐จ HOLY SMOKES. Kid Rock just WENT BERSERK on Islam, calling it a CULT
"I oppose Islamist extremists whose end goal is to impose SHARIA LAW ON THIS NATION!"
CROWD: "USA! USA!"
KID ROCK: "NO RELIGIOUS CULT OR IDEOLOGY GETS TO OVERRIDE OUR CONSTITUTION."
"Is Islam a CULT?"
"You will NEVER have the right to force any American citizen to live under it. I guarantee you that!"
๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
He's damn right, WE WILL NEVER BECOME AN ISLAMIST NATION.
No Sharia Law. Shut off the 3rd world and shut off 3rd world migration
America must remain America!
๐จ JUST IN: President Trump has officially slashed the USA migrant population by almost 3 MILLION PEOPLE
This is enormous.
I voted for every minute of this.
Now remove MILLIONS MORE! ๐บ๐ธ
NOW: President Trump draws a line against socialism in America as chants of โUSA!โ break out in the crowd.
โOur country will never be a socialist country.โ
Then he delivers the punchline: โAnd I was 100% right. Itโs gone communist.โ
๐จ JUST IN: The crowd is LOUDLY chanting "USA! USA!" as President Trump stands with the young patriots who won the Patriot Games
