11 of 70 : Hammock Creek Golf Course


Hammock Creek Golf Course is a Jack Nicklaus and Jack Nicklaus II co-design.  It is another beautiful public golf course designed to accommodate golfers of all skill levels. From the forward tees the course is fair and very pleasant to play. Once again we had to play in gale force winds on many holes, most notably at the beginning and at the end of the round. Some of the holes must have been protected from the elements. As usual, we had good moments and bad ones. Again Brenda and I had a little match going and thanks to the coaching she had from Michael and Dick, she once more defeated me 3 holes up with 2 to play. Having lost the match I ended up winning the last two holes. Perhaps I still need to learn how to play competitive golf. To Brenda'a credit, this was her best round ever at 96. I should have broken 90 but a water ball, amongst other mistakes, landed me at 91. All in all, we had a great day.

You will have noticed the lack of golf pictures on this post. We didn't realized until we got to the course that we had left the cameras at home. Perhaps we were having a senior moment. However, golf isn't the only thing we do around here so it is with great pleasure that we are sharing some of our other adventures:

And last, but not least, our encounter with a flock of Sandpiper chicks on our evening walk on the beach, a very short video:
