We met our friends Scott & Sandy from Green Bay at a course just south of Wisconsin Rapids called Northern Bay. The selling point of this beautiful course is that it has several "replica" holes on it that mirror those on the professional golf tour.
Here, for example, is the TPC Sawgrass 17th hole. On TV, you see the pros shank it into the water in their attempts to hit the green -- so that makes you feel much better when you do it, too. Well 3 out of the 4 of us hit it in the water. I was not the one who didn't. And neither was Jim! Still, a fun hole.
There were a lot of interesting holes and some challenging greens, but we were having a good time -- and 3 out of the 4 of us were in on a secret. Scott was surprising Sandy with an overnight stay so that we could all golf together in the Dells tomorrow. So we had our hotel reservations made in nearby Adams and despite ALMOST spilling the beans on numerous occasions today, we were at least able to keep Sandy's surprise a secret until we were through with golf. Then it was just too hard to explain why we were going to the little town of Adams to eat.
We checked into the hotel, showered up and headed south 15-20 miles to Wisconsin Dells for dinner.
We had our double-date night in the Dells at the Survivors Sports Bar & Grill at the Wilderness Resort. Managed to eat, drink, talk and laugh plenty for a few hours then headed back to the hotel. I was designated driver so I had the fun of trying to maneuver through the Dells on a summer night. What an insanely busy, traffic-jammed town!
It was nice to get back to the hotel and relax with a few games of cribbage.
And get to bed by midnight so we'll be fresh to tee it up for round two tomorrow. Fore!
