a small dose of reality

keeping it semi real, promoting conservatives, taking potshots at fools, democrats other than Obama, liberals, the left, know it alls, the dnc, etc., reviews of models, pundits and blogs

This gem of a course is located west of Reading in Berks County.  I was lucky enough to be invited to a charity tournament up there yesterday and played with three wonderful guys.  The weather was beautiful, sunny mild not too hot.  One of the guys gave me some great putting tips.  For even while you do look at the green itself, also look at the surrounding terrain and which direction it is to the nearest water.  Despite what your eyes may tell you looking at the green, more often than not, the break will follow the overall terrain and be towards the water.  The same thing for the speed.  Yesterday the greens were slick and super fast as well as being hard as rocks. It was extremely difficult to even hit in front of the green roll on and stay on.  One of the guys bombed a drive 400 yards, not on the long drive hole of course.  He read the terrain perfectly and rolled a ton after landing.
