Thursday Old Timer Action

Sorry for the delay in reporting Thursday's recap. I deleted the email from the Acting Commish..probably the thin air up here at 5000 feet, (or the VO and water). 
The greens here at Beech Mountain Golf Club are Poa Annua (on purpose) which shows a lot of ball marks and deer tracks. everything else is a bent/fescue mix from tee to green. The greens were rennovated the past 4 years by the superintendent from Augusta National ( yeah..the real one!!) He does greens work during the time Augusta National closes. I played yesterday with the former Greens Chairman who oversaw the rework. He told me he thought he new a lot about greens before, but received a terrific education throughout the four years of rennovation. The "Augusta folks know their shit" period. 
they also changed out the bunker sand to "Augusta sand". Pretty special golf course here, like I mentioned earlier, Similar to FCCC but on steroids. Only three of the holes are relatively flat, with the rest playing dramatically up or down mountain. Excellent place to have a laser with built in slope readings. FYI.. for me my shots were going 10 to 15 yards further at 5000 feet. I have never hit so may good shots over the green on the fly. It was interesting...guys playing here for 20 to 30 years still have a hard time reading the greens. Sound familiar??? Okay, enough of my rambling about Beech Mountain. Below will be the report I received from the Acting Commish...it seems he was not happy....

The acting commish will not comment on today's round.  He is not worthy of making comments.  He will simply report on the results and quota changes.  It would be nice to hear how the blogger played at beautiful Beech Mountain.  Maybe he will grace us with a few words.
