Dec 28, 2016


We reluctantly got out of the bed with the cloud pillows and headed toward the water to try to catch a nice sunrise. Not too much happened in the sky and I couldn't get near the water, so I attempted to catch some shots of this church. Can't win them all, but it was nice to be up early anyway.


One thing I was looking forward to was Edge of the Woods in New Haven. We got there as they opened and went back to the cafe to order a reuben, a Monte Cristo, and the falafel sandwich. The reuben was amazing as always, but the others left something to be desired. Not bad, but nowhere near as good in my opinion.


After breakfast we headed to Park City DGC where I pulled out some new discs to replace my lost one from the other day. I found a few that I liked and tried to break them in and learn how they worked as we played. It was another really nice day to be outside, if a little chilly at times. We stayed warm even when a few snowflakes started to fall. We mostly had the course to ourselves so it went by quickly.


We found a coffee shop called Source to kill some time while we waited for the brewery to open and we sat inside the packed cafe sipping on a cold brew and a hot tea, listening to people chat and planning our day out. The coffee was okay and the tea was okay.


Two Roads is always a great stop when I can make it, and this time was no exception. Most all of the beers were noteworthy, but the best were the session IPA, the Espressway coffee stout, and the cranberry gose. We did three flights of 5 beers and ended up spending a couple of hours at the bar.


We were having a really good time so we didn't rush out. There's always time for selfies. And we left with some bottles and cans of our favorites.


Our next stop was Cranbury Park DGC, where we awkwardly drove by the toll house because it looked like the guy inside was an electrician or something and didn't even give us a second look. So we came in for free. The course is nice, but very wooded and a little repetitive. Definitely one I'd play again, but I prefer the one we played earlier. I'm glad we were able to get through two courses anyway. After that course we hit the road and promptly started hitting rush hour traffic.


After a seemingly long drive home through New York and North Jersey during rush hour we got back home and I dropped Becca off. I had a little time to change, eat, and relax just briefly before jumping back in the car to go to Philly for Valencia at the Fillmore. I stood in the back/middle for the whole show because no one was moving around or into it too much. The band sounded a little off for a while, but they picked up steam with the second half of the set. They played "Linoleum" by NOFX, which was a great surprise addition. Not a bad set, but definitely not my favorite. Finally headed home to sleep after!

Apr 14, 2009

We got up pretty early in the morning to leave for home. We packed up and said goodbye to Harbor Hill and to Crystal, Kim and her kids, who had showed up the day before.

The drive back down didn't seem as bad as the way up.. probably because we weren't really tired.

We stopped in Connecticut to play a course that I had originally hoped to play on the way up, Cranbury Park.

The course was really nice, with rubber tee pads, chairs and bag holders but it was woody everywhere. The majority of the holes were in the woods and all the shots were tight. Almost every shot hit a tree.

There were some really cool holes like this one on top of a rock (which I deuced and Katie got a three on!) I also got some really good news on the course that our band would be playing with The Ataris! It was just a maybe at that point but we found out later that night for sure.

We stopped at Deptford Mall when we got close to home to kill some time before I went to my math class for the test review. After that was over we finally headed home. I got the awesome news that we'd be playing with The Ataris for sure and I couldn't sleep even though I was exhausted.
