An absolute beautiful day for a round of golf and a day that included high scores, many balls in the woods and an appreciation for a beautiful golf course. This was the first time playing Widow's Walk and I had an idea of what I was in for. The fairways were the thinnest and the greens the smallest I've ever seen. This course unfortunately does not setup for the average joe; who likes to pull out driver on every hole except par 3s. This course required conservative strategy, which I seemed to follow in the beginning only to become lazier as the holes followed. One of my best holes was on a par 4 that resulted in a satisfying bogey. My approach was unusual but effective. I hit my tee shot onto the fringe of the fairway to the left-side with 160 yards to the green. Instead of firing a six iron, I chose to hit a wedge and lay-up which left me with a short 60 yd approach for my third shot. Got onto the green and safely 2-putted for a bogey. If only I followed through with this strategy for the remainder of the round, I would of ended with a score in the low 90s, but with my growing confidence and influence from other playing partners, I resorted to risky decision-making. A really fun day overall and I'll be looking to take on this ruthless course again.
