The Killington area is home to many great Vermont golf courses. On Friday, Mary and I had the opportunity to play our first complete round of the year on the Killington Resort Golf Course. It was well worth the afternoon.

For Killington fans, last Friday was the annual "Goombay Golf Classic" sponsored by the Grist Mill and Bacardi Rum. Over 100 golfers from the region and beyond teed off in the tournament this year at the Killington Resort links. Mary and I, along with our friends Carolyn and Bill, carded a very respectable 2 under 70 hitting 15 out of 18 greens in regulation with 2 birdies and no bogies. Golf can be a game of shoulda woulda coulda some times, and Friday was one of those days. We "coulda" had a much lower score if a few of our first putts dropped. But so it goes.

On the plus side, however, I am very happy to report that the Killington Resort Golf Course is in great shape. Course conditions were probably the best in 5 years. While the mountainside course can still serve up a few errant bounces in spots, for the most part the course was playing true with dry fairways and very receptive greens....all with the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont forming a backdrop to every swing. We had a very nice afternoon.

Where ever you may be this weekend, keep it in the fairway, and don't forget your sunscreen. Oh...and it's Fathers Day... Call Dad!
