Mount Washington Hotel and Golf Course

Monika and I arrived Sunday September 21st around 10:00 am at the hotel and after I unloaded all our luggage Monika dropped me off at the Golf Course. They have just finished a large makeover of the front nine. The management at the Mount Washington found the original Donald Ross plans and they built a few more holes and reworked a few more on the front nine.

They did a nice job and one thing to remember is don’t roll a ball near a sand trap as they have grown the rough quite long and it is pretty gnarly if your ball lands there. The greens were in great shape and the fairways were decent as well.

The course is not that long and not that difficult. It’s a fun course to play and I always enjoy playing there. The last two times I have played there in tournaments we have finished 2nd this year and 1st a few years ago. It’s always a great feeling to win.

But, remember it’s not all about winning it’ sjust a lot of fun to just be out there playing.

Granite State South Golf Tournament Results

As you know yesterday I turned 54 and I started my day off by playing in the Granite State South Board of REALTORS golf tournament at Windham Country Club. I was invited to play by Steve Blier from GMAC Mortgage and we played with two other guys called Pete. Pete Currier and Pete (I can’t remember his last name, sorry).

We started off on Hole 16 and Pete led off followed by Steve then me and then our anchor Peter Currier. Currier and I had great drives with our 3 woods. We didn’t use driver because of the water hazard in Driver range. I hit a five iron on the green pin high to the left. We had four shots at birdie but we let it slip by the hole and settled for par.

GSSBR Golf Tournament

Well, today is my birthday and I turn 54 and I am playing in the Granite State South Board of REALTORS golf tournament. I was invited to play by Steve Blier a mortgage officer with Carlson GMAC Mortgage. Last year Steve invited me and if memory serves me right we may have finished in 4th or 5th place. Not bad considering some groups are pretty well stacked with excellent golfers.

We’ll see how we play today and hopefully we will do real well. We are playing at Windham Country Club in Windham, NH

Atkinson NH Golfing…it can’t get any better

Real estate is networking and where better to meet future customers and clients than on a Golf Course. One of my favorite local places is the Atkinson Resort and Country Club. Not only does it have a great place to celebrate the 19th hole but it’s also a pretty tough course.

Today I’ll tell you about hole # 1

It is very short and a lower handicap player should use no more than a 3 wood off the back tees. I see so many players hit driver and get themselves in a lot of trouble.

So if you set up your shot right you’ll be able to to come into this green with a short iron.

From the back tees it plays about 350 yards and trees abound the right side and the left has a line of trees and a road that is O.B. which leads to the clubhouse.

A long sand trap hugs the left side of the fairway at about 150 yards out and many a tee ball finds it way in the sand. The right front of the green is also guarded by a large bunker and the green is firm and slopes front to back. So, a nice lofted approach shot is necessary.

The course is 6500 yards from the back tees.

Next I’ll break down the next few holes for you.

Golf Season is here and the Atkinson Resort and Country Club is a great place to spend a few relaxing hours golfing.

Golf the way it should not be played

My wife Monika saw this on another social network and I thought I’d play it here. There are some funny things on this you tube video.

I have actually done a couple of these things, can you guess which ones I have done?

Atkinson Resort and Country Club

Today I played the Atkinson Resort and Country Club in Atkinson, NH. This is a pretty tough course from the white markers playing 6088 yards with a course rating of 70.2 and a slope of 133. I played with my golfing buddy Pete who aced the par 3 8th hole earlier this year to finally join the Acemaker club. Congrats to Pete. Pete is coming off of 3 broken ribs and wrist surgery from a basketball accident last year. We were supposed to play back in July but his ribs kept us from playing together. Then our businesses kept us the rest of the year from playing together too. Today we finally were able to play 18.
