A Gorgeous Day at Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort

A Gorgeous Day at Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort
Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort – Blue / Red Courses
One River Road, Shawnee on Delaware, Pennsylvania 18356
Yards: 6,290, Par 72 (White Tees)
Course Architect: A. W. Tillinghast
Website: www.shawneeinn.com
Score: 102 (57 out, 45 in)
Date: May 5, 2008

While attending the 2008 Victory Golf Show in King of Prussia, I put a bid on a foursome at Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort. Never dreamed I would win since the bid was for $170 and was placed early in the morning. We decised to play on May 5th, we played the blue and red courses and could not have asked for a better day.

I shot a 102 the first time out on this championship course designed by A. W. Tillinghast which has hosted the 1938 PGA Championship and the 1967 NCAA Championship. Arnold Palmer met his late wife Winnie at Shawnee.

Shawnee is graced with the same magnificent trees, picturesque mountains, beautiful river and the same love of the game of years past. With 24 of 27 holes located on a private island surrounded by the Delaware River.

My 102 round came on a prefect day, slight wind and sunny skies. What can I say about the course, championship course in close to championship condition. The course was in wonderful condition with only a few dead areas of grass in non essential areas, unless you’re my ball. The tee boxes were nice and green without any divots, the fairways had no divots and the greens were moderately fast, some a little quicker than others.

Every hole at Shawnee is picturesque, not to mention the surroundings. On many of the holes I found myself just staring out at the beautiful mountains and surroundings. The most deceiving holes we played were the Par 3, 7th hole on the Blue course and the Par 3, 2nd hole on the Red course. On both holes you are hitting over the Delaware River, but the distances on both holes look a lot longer than indicated on the score card and tee box indicator.

Annoying Dinning Warning (Take One): Arriving at the course early for our tee time, we decided to relax and grab a quick bite to eat in the club house at the River Room. The plan was a little lunch and warm up on the range, and then off to the course, don’t think so. We were the first in the dinning room, long story short, two burgers, fries, a chicken quesadilla and 45 minutes later, we were eating our relaxed, quick lunch without chewing. When we finally got our food, it was excellent, but the slowest and uninformed restaurant staff I have ever seen.

Annoying Dinning Warning (Take Two): After the round, we decided to eat dinner at the facility since one of our players joined us from the opposite direction. Learning our lesson earlier today, we decided to eat dinner at Sam Snead’s Tavern, located on the other side of the golf facility near the main entrance and overlooking the par 3 course and practice facility. We walked in and sat down and waited, and waited, and finally after 15 to 20 minutes our waiter made an appearance for drinks. When we did order, again, burgers, wings and nachos, the food took about 45 minutes to an hour to come out. At least the food service at the facility is consistent, good food, long – loooooong wait. After a 2 ½ hour burger, we had another 2 ½ hour ride home.

From the web site: Discover the finest in Pocono Golf. Completed in 1911, the golf course at the Shawnee Inn is A.W. Tillinghast's first-ever design. Rich in the history of golf, Shawnee has been the host of the 1938 PGA Championship, the 1967 NCAA Championships and other memorable moments in the chronicles of golf. Shawnee is still graced with the same magnificent trees, picturesque mountains, beautiful river and the same love of the game. With 24 of our 27 holes located on a private island, The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort is the perfect choice for golf in the Poconos.

Overall Shawnee is an excellent golf facility and easy to get to. Definitely a must play when visiting the Ponoco / Delaware Water Gap area. The course was excellent, the facility employees were all nice and helpful, just take a lot of extra time if you plan on eating there.

Unfortunately, several regarding predators on-line. Sex versions in addition to fiscal versions. Be warned regarding scammers in addition to fraudsters. You will discover men and women on-line which earn a living from conning men and women through pretending [url=http://beautifulcoachbackpacks2t.webs.com/]beautiful coach backpacks[/url] to be desperate for money and asking for help or wanting to meet up to get a visa or passport.Long distance relationships can seem very romantic. Think carefully about meeting anyone who lives a long way away. It may look very romantic and exciting now but will it still seem like that when the date is over and they are hundreds of miles away?
Never fulfill a fully fresh particular person in the calm unpoopulated spot. Always fulfill in the criminal court spot. Explain to an individual you can confidence in addition to rely on exactly where you're proceeding in addition to be sure to own your own mobile [url=http://coachfactoryhandbag3e.webs.com/]cheap coach factory handbag[/url] phone on you. Tell them you will let them know when you return home. You may well think it is a good idea to meet for a drink the first time so that you do not lose a whole evening to what might be a wasted and pointless meet. Think outside the box. People now meet up for a drink during their lunch hour when it is a first meet and then perhaps arrange a much longer meet when they are more sure of the person. Others meet for a drink after work and then go on to a whole evening with a [url=http://ccoachonlineoutlet.com/]Coach Outlet Online[/url] trusted friend after. Serial daters can fit in dozens of first meets in a week! I find out a lot more about them BEFORE meeting and only meet a few that I know I will not regret meeting. This is how to meet a date online.

In the event that it is crucial for you that the next time can be a human being that's blonde together with glowing blue sight and then never have diverted to help any person that's not really. You will find many of us to choose from. Nevertheless remember to [url=http://coachfactorybackpacksoutlet3o.webs.com/]coach factory backpacks [/url] be realistic. If you are fat, bald, ugly and 75 years of age do not insist the next date is far better looking than you and half your age, or you may well be looking and looking and never ever finding.Think of the things that really matter to you. Perhaps you are very keen on having children, love animals and are a homebody. Then it would be pointless [url=http://coachfactorybackpacksoutlet3o.webs.com/]http://coachfactorybackpacksoutlet3o.webs.com/[/url] to date someone who hates animals and works in a meat factory and loves to go out all of the time.Men should beware of women who are looking for a meal ticket and while it happens less often it does happen the other way around where successful [url=http://beautifulcoachfactorybackpacks3t.webs.com/]coach factory backpacks outlet[/url] hard working women may get loafers or spongers wanting to meet them. Beware of the woman who wants you to go shopping with her and expects you to let her use your credit card.
Often insist at knowing all you sense you should recognize just before specialist achieving. Be careful of any person that's inside a huge hurry in order to meet following a quick conversation. Some people often have [url=http://beautifulcoachfactorybackpacks3t.webs.com/]http://beautifulcoachfactorybackpacks3t.webs.com/[/url] something to hide or they do not think things through. I would suggest that you chat to them online and when you feel safe with them move on to emails, then phone calls and then a meet. If your gut instinct tells you that the person is fishy, boring or not interesting enough then end it and move on to someone else. Whenever I talk to my clients about the dates they have met off line and the ones they have met say ten times and then stopped meeting they always stopped because eventually after ten meets they found out something they needed to know, such as that the other person has been in [url=http://www.ccoachfactoryoutlets.com/]Coach Factory Outlet[/url] prison or hates children. It is sensible to make sure about such important things before meeting rather than meeting the person ten times and then eventually finding out. Why waste such a lot of precious time on meeting someone who is unsuitable? Make a list of questions to ask the person before you meet and only meet them if you like the answers.
