Tuesday, February 20th: Johnson Threepeats with a (-1) !!!

Notes from Hilton-Head:  This past Saturday, Sunday & Monday, Tom, Ray and Jeff Cozzo had the opportunity to play the three Palmetto Dunes courses that Mike Clark worked at during his professional golf career. We played the Arthur Hills (Par 72… Rating-Slope 71.1-124… Yards 6,122), the Robert Trent Jones (72… 70.6-132…6,141) and the George Fazio (70… 70.8-130… 6,239). These courses we all gorgeous, most with very green winter rye in the fairways & tee boxes. They had a nightmarish number of fairway & greenside traps, water hazards, OB everywhere and alligators.  Many of the greens were smallish &/or narrow with challenging undulations and pin placements being well protected by traps.  With the fairway traps and OBs, tee shots demanded a threading of the needle.  Many approach shots required long irons or fairway woods.  Course knowledge is of a premium value when playing these courses.  Although scoring was challenging, we all had a blast!  We had great weather on Saturday and Monday, but it was quite windy & cold on Sunday at RTJ.  Hilton Head is a beautiful place to visit.  We stayed at the Hilton Omni on Palmetto Dunes.
