Apache Shores - Playing Hooky on Friday Afternoon

I played hooky Friday afternoon to meet Steve, Lif and Mark at Apache Shores DGC.  They have never played it before and wanted to scratch it off their lists.  Temperatures were in the 80's sunny skies and no wind to speak of.  We were the only players on the course.  Course conditions were rugged, well it is Apache Shores.

This course has some very rugged terrain, finding the next hole can be a challenge.  Especially when you get into the "Badlands".  Lots of very technical shots.  All the holes are par 3's, but we called #7 a par 4 because we were throwing at the wrong basket.  We all did alright.  Mark had a bad front nine but an outstanding back nine.  Not the kind of course where he can show off his arm.

A total of five birdies were made:  Mark(3), Steve(1) and Heady(1).  No discs lost but two discs found!
