Golf Outing: Camden County Hero Scholarship Fund
Score: Golf Outing (Team -4)
Date: September 30, 2008
I participated in the Camden County Hero Scholarship Fund golf outing at Valleybrook Country Club. On a warm, sunny day, our foursome shot a 4 under par. We were at 5 under par but gave one back late in the round. We also missed a hand full of birdie putts. It was a great day out on the links for a good cause.
The course is mostly open with a few tight holes. Most of the fairways are tree lined and the middle holes are very hilly with a few blind shots. Having played this course numerous times and very familiar with the course over the years, we should have performed better.
FROM THE WEB SITE: Ron Jaworski’s Valleybrook Country Club is an 18-hole Semi-Private golf club located in beautiful Blackwood, New Jersey. The championship golf course presents challenges to any level of golfer. The slightly rolling hills with wetlands and mature tree lines offer scenic panoramic views. Golfers will find water coming into play nine times throughout the round, as well as, some great elevation changes.
COURSE CONDITION: The course overall was in the best shape I have ever seen it. The tee boxes were beat up but the fairways and greens were in prefect shape which typically by this time of year the course is pretty beat up due to all the public and golf outing play. Come to find out, Ron Jaworski had his NFL golf outing the next day, so the course was spruced up for the NFL players. As always, the rough was cut a little high, but our foursome had at least one ball in the fairway every hole. Overall it was in great shape, I hope it stays that way.
FACILITIES: Valleybrook County Club has a driving range, putting green, sand trap area and chipping green. Stop by Riley's Pub after the round, lunch is typical pub food, service is pleasant and friendly, lots of TV’s, cold beer and a good variety on the menu. Keep your eyes open, you may see 'Jaws' in the Pub, nice and friendly guy!
SHOT OF THE DAY: Hole No. 16 (Old Hole #7), 342 yards, Par 4, the hole is a 90 degree dogleg left with a creek and woods on the left until the fairway makes the turn toward the green. For big hitters, most try to cut the corner over the woods toward the green, I have tried this over 40 times and have never made it. This day, I teed up the ball, and crushed it over the woods and in the fairway about 45 yards short of the green. We still pared the hole, wasted swing, wasted opportunity to score.
SUGGESTIONS AND COMMENTS: Nice open course, some challenging holes, play maybe slow (typical).
GOLFNERDNESS: 13 under par won the tournament, cheaters!
