Perfect October golf!

Let me state that my only complaint for golfing today was the pace of play. Me and my buddy, who like to play 2.5-3 hour golf got behind a 4-some group who wouldn’t allow us to pass. This being our first time here, we didn’t want to skip any holes. So our game ended up being just short of 4.5 hours but the conditions were perfect, the course layout was beautiful, and had one amazing game.
