Great Pricing At The Golf Club at Bridgewater

I just received an email from the Golf Club at Bridgewater announcing some extremely low pricing from now through the weekend (July 15th – July 19th, 2009).

Bridgewater is a “linksy” style course in Lakeland FL. Easy access right off of I-4, pretty much halfway between Tampa and Orlando.

Opened in 2007, Bridgewater is a nice change of pace from what you may consider a “typical Florida course”. If you have been looking for a new course to check out, Bridgewater is well worth the 30 minute drive from Tampa or Orlando. Especially at the prices that they are currently offering.

Lake Jovita Golf and Country Club

Sitting at my desk, looking out the window yesterday it was very difficult to not let my mind wander to thoughts of being on the golf course.  By noon I couldn’t fight the urge any longer so I picked up the phone and called over to Lake Jovita Golf Club (north Tampa) to set up a tee time.  A couple more calls and I had a teetime set for just after 3pm and two more players.

Lake Jovita is a golf course community located in Dade City, a short drive north of Tampa and features two great layouts, the north and south courses.  I have long considered both of Lake Jovita’s eighteens to be among the top golf courses in Tampa.

We played the Tom Lehman and Kurt Sandness designed South Course, and had a great day, already looking forward to the next time I get a chance to play at this great facility.  Next time I’m going to break away and earlier and make it a 36 hole day!

If you live in the Tampa area or will be travelling this way and you love great golf you have to add Lake Jovita to you must play list.  For those of you that are from out of town Lake Jovita offers “Stay and Play” packages that make for a great golf vacation.

Thanks to Head Golf Professional Jim Hafner, 1st Assistant Sven and the rest of the Lake Jovita staff for the great day!

10 Things To Do At The 2009 Masters

I’m getting set to make my annual pilgrimage to Augusta for the 2009 Masters this week and figured I will actually head into this year’s first major with a few goals. Here is my list of Ten things I want to accomplish at The Masters.

10 – Have at least 1 Pimento Cheese sandwich. This will be easily accomplished.

9 – Take in some of the Par 3 Contest. Awesome little course and very real chance of seeing a hole in one.

8 – Watch players try to skip their shots across the pond and onto the green of #16 during Wednesday’s practice round. 

7 – Watch Spaniard Alvaro Quiros hit drivers on the practice range to get a first hand glimpse off his much talked about power. 

6 – Shoot video of Fred Couples teeing of on #18. Great swing and great backdrop! Something I could put on a loop and sit and watch over and over.

5 – Secure the perfect spot for my chair on the hillside of the par 3, 16^th.

4 – Be at the first tee Thursday to witness Greg Norman’s return to Augusta.

3 – Be at the final green Friday to watch Fuzzy Zoeller hole out his last putt and say farewell to Augusta. (Sorry Fuzz, but I’m anticipating you missing the cut)

2 – Enjoy a beer while watching Tiger play through Amen Corner.

1 – Be part of an “Augusta Roar”
