119 - Newman Golf Course, 1st Hole
David- right course, wrong hole, though there are similarities. Mazr knows this one. The view from the Blues (the back “tee box” for you non-golfers) on hole #1 at Newman.
From the whites it’s 340 yards. The blue tees not only stretch the hole to 406 yards, but it also brings the trees into play.Â
This is also the hole where yours truly got up and down from the greenside bunker for par in a sudden death playoff to qualify for a spot in the Men’s City. In “C” flight I won my first three matches and took the semi-final match to the 18th hole where I finally choked. I’ve qualified in higher flights, but I’ve never had more fun than that year. I’ll never understand the elitists who withdraw if they don’t qualify for Championship Flight.

A tee box or whatever they’re called.

I wanna say that’s #16 at Newman. That nasty, slope-to-the-left, long-as-heck, par 5. Of course I gave up golf years ago and when I did play the back nine at Newman tore me up so I may have an invented memory here…
Yep - that’s what I’m thinking - for better or worse.

The view from the blues on #1 at Newman.
Quite a difference when you start from back there.

Impressive view. And impressive golfing PI.
I’ve only played Newman once and it left quite an impression. Loved the course. Just a tad tough for this hacker.
