Just when I thought the weather was going to cooperate with our quest this season, I was wrong.... AGAIN! We had planned to do 4 counties in NW Iowa that we missed last year up in that area. We headed out at 5:45 AM and I'm surprised I was even up and ready to go by then. Such a beautiful morning and the drive up was great.
We made a pit stop at the gas station and thought these scratch offs were fitting. Unfortunately none of us won anything.
We arrived at Sac County Country Club and T'd off about 8:30.
Loved the T markers and the T-boxes were in great shape. They told us when we got there that there was trouble everywhere. They didn't disappoint. This course was pretty hilly too. Loved the challenges though and the greens were turtle backed and very tough. Putting sure hurt us on the scores but we didn't mind at all. The only thing Jim commented on was that the first 5 holes were par 3 and 4's. Holes 6-8 were all par 5's and 9 was a par 4. Shirley struggled with the trees. Of all the trees on the course she managed to hit this little one not just once but TWICE! The second time she lost about 20 yards. Yes, we laughed!
Heading West to Ida County we encountered a huge storm and we knew the day was toast. We turned around and thought maybe we might get Calhoun County in but the storm was moving too fast and there was no way we would get any more golf in that area done. :(
Still not ready to give up golfing for the day we headed towards home checking our PGA Card for deals along the way and ended up in Nevada at the Indian Creek Country Club.
Story County was already crossed off our list but out of the over 400 courses in Iowa, we got this one done too.
Very nice course and we planned to do 18 but we were kicked off the course at 4:30 since they had a league starting.
Not a total loss for the day and we will eventually get those we missed done. We will see where next week takes us, of course, depending on the weather!
