    Awesome Christmas Present!!!!!!

    Present from my husband, among many other presents. We are heading for North Carolina on Dec. 27th. Staying and golfing at "The Whispering Pines"!!
    Had finally accepted the fact that I would not be golfing anymore outdoor golf for 2007, and then he booked the trip, what a sweetheart. And for anyone never checking out the golf trips at Christmas time.......go check them out the deals are unbelievable.
    Will take lots of pics and let you guys know how great it was when we get back!

    Hope everyone in here got something they really wanted for Christmas!!!
    Never dreamt I would ever get so hooked on this game!!

    Smile I 81 and 95 ,south to N.C. bound.Whispering Pines G&CC.

    What my little Keris B does not realize, I can't imagine only being 4hrs and 23mins. from Augusta,and not aleast see it for your own eyes. Yes the big one in April folks,The Masters. I booked a Condo Suite with internet access.
    So stand by for pics and we can fill in the weather and green details.!Life is to short not to live it up once in a while.!
    Smile as it goes right down the middle.!

    Kerry--I should have known you'd figure out a way to get another round or two in before the new year---What did Dave get? Have a good time and yes the Xmas deals are great.
    Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?

    Dave I know your not too far from Agusta but I would think twice before driving over. We did it 3 years ago and you can"t see anything--it was a real dissapointment. We turned into the drive off the main road and before the back of the car was on the driveway an armed guard stopped us. There is a 10 chainlink fence all around the perimeter and the hedge is about 12 feet thick. I told the guard I was Mike Wiers uncle and he said Arnold was his father --he still made us back out

    Hey BM he got tons of golfing clothing, balls, a new taylormade stand bag,divot tools,pretty much all golf stuff. And as he says best of all.........he's got a golfing wife that is always ready for a game, and never complains about putting things off to go golfing!! Lesson to all you golfers..........get your wife hooked on golf,then you can golf anytime you want!!!!!

    Sounds like you have life figured out --enjoy the trip and like Dave said you have to live it up once in a while---life's too short Oh--watch the "smokies" in NY state--once you get a little farther south I usually hang around with the trucks at whatever speed they are doing--careful crossing over on route 66 to I 95--lots of intersections.

    And judging by those pics, that wasn't a small amount of rain. You are definately a golf pigette Kerri.

It was about 62* F here today!! We had people driving by the course today....some gave us looks like we were crazy, but others gave us the . And hey a little rain and cold never hurt anyone.........after all we are CANADIANS!!!
