![]() ![]() The next day, we played in Westchester, and then drove out to East Hampton and back. A couple days before, we traveled from Newport, to Boston, to Westchester. Earlier in the day, I played The Course at Yale, and the plan was to drive from New Haven, Connecticut to Chatham, Massachusetts to check out Eastward Ho! While that sounds fairly aggressive on the surface, we had already done three days of substantial drives between courses. We had already played eight rounds in four days, across four states, and Eastward Ho! was supposed to be the ninth and final round. ![]() My round at Eastward Ho! was scheduled to be the anchor leg in a long distance relay of golf. It was just that since I live in Michigan and knew I'd be back in the area, I decided to wait for a better day. However, in that case, I could have played the original round if I had wanted to.the course was open and the rain wasn't THAT bad. Forest Dunes had presented some hurdles for me because I cancelled a round due to weather, only to play it the following summer. Sure, I had faced some weather delays (three of them at Crystal Downs alone), but weather had only stopped me from completing a round once, and that was at Lost Dunes in Southwest Michigan, when an apocalyptic thunderstorm rolled in over Lake Michigan in the late afternoon that ended our day after 12 holes. Almost all of those rounds had gone off without a hitch. To this point, I have played around 80 courses that were on one list or another, across 25 US States. You can't play golf (an outdoor game, I might add) at a bucket list of nearly 200 courses (counting all of the public and private lists) across the United States without running into some road blocks along the way.pun intended, but more on that in a bit. ![]()
