9 holes of bliss

 

OK, so I played my second nine-hole course ever. I got a free pass from the Utah golf show that was good for 9 or 18 free holes, so I decided “why not”?

This course (Cedar Hills Golf club) was located in Cedar Hills UT (kind of halfway between Salt Lake City and Provo). Up until now my only experience with playing on a course has been at the University of Utah. The difference was like night and day!  Cedar Hills has many more water hazards and sand traps and the fairways seem longer as well. It takes a good degree of control just to make it off the first tee- for example at the first hole, all the tees are situated on cliffs.  You have to lob far enough and high enough to clear several yards of tumbleweeds and brush, a biking/running trail, the golf cart path  and a fast moving stream.  At my current level of play, I am happy just to make contact with the ball, so needless to say, I skipped that tee and went directly to the fairway.  It was pointless to keep score, so I concentrated on using good form and having fun. However,  I am convinced that they are in a conspriracy to make people lose their golf balls so they can sell more.When I become a better player, I will go back there and play the heck out of that place!
