Golfing at Isle of Palms, SC

I just got back from a week at Wild Dunes, SC. As with most vacations, it was great to get away from pretty much everything and clear my head, even if it was only for 7 or so days. While I was there, I had a goal to play 4 rounds of golf on different courses around the area. I’m happy to say I accomplished that goal.

I put the rounds in Golf Trac and since it allows you to share your rounds (bragging rights for some people), I figured I’d post them here for those interested:

• +16 at Wild Dunes Harbour Course
• +15 at Patriots Point Golf Links
• +12 at Wild Dunes Golf Links
• +9 at Rivertowne Country Club

It took me a day or two (or three) to get used to the wind, as that was my first “links” experience. It was amazing, too. Several holes were right alongside the ocean.

I played great (for me) my last round there, at Rivertowne, despite still being +9. My misses weren’t because of mishits, but rather the wind and trying to get up and down from a bunker. I was in disbelief that wind can affect a putt, but when it’s blowing 25-30 mph, it definitely does. Lesson learned.
