Dretska New

Okay, so Sheila, Ben, and I went to Dretzka and played the "new" course. At the tee, we met up with Arthur Pengally and a buddy of his from his home town in New Zealand, "Des" (short for Desmond and pronounced "Diz"). After we played one hole, we were joined by fellow Michigander and 15-year-old phenom, Ziggy.

If you haven't seen this course yet, it's pretty short, with only three holes that even my weinie arm could not possibly birdie. OB comes into play a couple of times and most holes have some trees on them, but only 3 or 4 have real woods. On several of the ~300' holes the ceiling is low enough to make rollers a pretty decent first choice shot.

Ben claims to have shot -11, but I don't know how well he could have possibly kept score. On the last couple of holes - it was dusk - we got pretty punchy and were trying various left-handed throws. It was pretty funny to see Ben and Ziggy attempt left-handed forehand shots; Ziggy's kept going behind him.

This is going to be a fun week.
