Veterans State Golf Championship

VGA Maryland was lucky to host the State Championship at this BEAUITFUL course. My wife, not a golfer or even likes it, drove/dropped me off was even at awe when pulling up. To see the course with mist under little sunlight. The water across the street glistening from the moon.
The staff I meet once I pulled in were VERY helpful in making sure I got to the correct cart, they took my bag for me, and showed me everything I needed to know. After going into the clubhouse I walked outside and took some photos just being in awe of the scenery looking out #1 and #18. They have 5 Adirondack Chairs overlooking those holes. It really was picturesque.
I went back inside to use one of many bays they have for warming up. They didn't have a driving range but had state of the art simulators. Myself it is hard to warm in a bay as I feel confined. I feel the same way when getting fitted for clubs.
I studied the course layout for three days to get ready for shot placements etc. Going through the course it was pretty spot on, couple differences, but mostly spot on.
The course unfortunately received over 34 inches of rain with the month, starting in September. They did their best to rectify that issue and did as well as they could. The course was in good shape consider. Thank you to the superintendent and the crew.
The Goodnight Kiss is a GREAT last three holes that one will never forget. They are pretty reminiscent of TPC Sawgrass. I have always been a HUGE Dye fan and this didn't disappoint. I really hope to get a chance to play there once again.
Thanks to Bob, VGA, and staff of Links at Perry Cabin for an amazing and enjoyable event.

Thank you

Long Poke at Old Hick

If you haven't play here it is worth the time. This is a really nice course and layout that can offer couple of challenges especially if it is windy. You will enjoy teeing off from the first tee box to an up hill green. Make sure to keep your head down or you will end up in the water!.
The greens are usually pretty fast after the are formed and rolled after aeration. Sometimes tough pin placements will challenge you but don't be a sucker.
The staff here are really great and very friendly. After working in DC all week it is nice to be around good people or shall I say happy and friendly people. The starters love to talk smack and will have you smiling before you tee off.

good luck and enjoy the course.

Don't die on PB

I played here a couple times and the last time was actually towards the fall. I will tell you it is one of the prettiest places to play with the foliage emanating in the backdrop. There were "bright red" trees peaking out and made for an amazing view.
The first hole can get you if you don't listen to the starter. They give you the correct aim point which helps a lot. the fairways seems to slope one way or another.
The course if truly fun to play on and no better two finishing holes #9 & #18. Absolutely breath taking. Coming into #9 green is a real challenge as you have a narrow throat to come into. Green side bunkers await your arrival and if you hit it thin your ball will become a scuba ball in the green side water.
The greens are pretty fast which is enjoyable to putt on. Go out and enjoy this course. It will have you coming back for more.
