So I'm looking down the fairway of hole number one at La Cantera's Resort Course. Man she's a monster, about 613 yards from the middle tees. Longest hole I've ever played by far. I thought to myself, "man this is going to be a long day." My drive wasn't the best I've hit. It went about 260 along the right side. The hole dog-legged to the right so the drive was perfect. After a second shot mi#@!$, I hit a beautiful six iron about 170 yards to land five feet from the hole. Now I'm thinking this ain't so bad afterall. Thought maybe I'd break 90 for the first time. And then....I two putted! I don't think I ever recovered, two, three, and sometimes four-putting. I hit only one other par that day, but in my defense it was really, really cold (about 45).

The course was beautiful even in the miserable weather (posted some pics if you're interested). Hole number seven was beautiful, from the elevated tee box to the green, carefully placed in front of the rattler at fiesta texas. There was plenty of sand guarding fairways and bunkers. There were ponds, streams and even waterfalls. About the only that stunk on the course was my scorecard, man what a disgrace. Well I guess that's why they say there's always next time. I'll keep you posted.
