PSC golf from Café Kronborg

Monday, Feb. 4, Mt. Shadow – Stableford

We were at Mountain Shadow for the second time in 4 days and we were off the first tee 30 minutes early under sunny skies and with a nice breeze.  The course was in fine condition and showing no signs of the heavy rain of the previous week.  It was busy but we moved right along and were back in the clubhouse in 4 hours and 30 minutes where welcomes went out to Bob Edwards, Dan Oshiro, Ray Gott and Jim Carrick and a goodbye to our old friend Koji Yamada, heading back to Kobe.

Two flights today with the cut at handicap 19 and a full bevy of pins.  The big news on the day was a hole in one by Monte Sykes on the short 5th, only his second and both witnessed by the scribe almost 2 years to the day since the first one.

Crystal bay A&B loops today and we teed off 10 minutes in perfect weather conditions.  The course was in very good shape but with some fairways a bit firm.
