Greensboro National Golf Course

Today we got up a little after 7:00 and started packing our bags as it was time to move on from our Hotel.  We had some breakfast and loaded the car and headed off to Greensboro National Golf Course.  When we arrived I think the only people there were employees.  We decided to play as it was only a fine drizzle happening.  The course was very nice but because it was wet it plays completely different and the greens are much slower.  We had a lot of fun and surprisingly played quite well.  We had a competition today where on all the par fives we had to play the hole with one club only.    This same club had to be used for all par fives.  Ralph had used a seven iron, Lawrence used his hybrid wood, Grace had used her driver and I had used my three wood.    The lowest score of the 4 par fives was 30 won by Lawrence.   We found out it really isn't that easy to putt with your woods.  Still added some fun to the game.  On the tenth hole the rains started getting heavier and we debated whether we would continue or not.  We finished the tenth hole and the rains almost stopped.  We continued on and managed a complete round.  After our round we had a little lunch and a drink and then headed to our new hotel.  We are now at the Hilton Garden Inn in Greensboro.  We brought our bags to our room and then decided to go to Darryls Fireside Grill for supper.  Was very filling and tasted delicious.  We came back to the room to relax.  Tomorrow they are calling for heavier rains so we plan on doing some shopping.  Golf is probably done for the week but a great time was enjoyed by all.
