Annapolis Golf Club
Annapolis Golf Club – our first glance was not a positive one.

We traveled over 2,000 miles to play Golfweek’s #15 ranked 9-hole hole golf course from it’s 2011 ranking. Our anticipation grew as we drove through a well-appointed neighborhood that looked like it would support an outstanding course. Panic set in as we entered the weed-infested empty parking lot. Silence greeted me as I made my way to the deserted clubhouse and the ghost-like fairways.

No golf today (or any day) at Annapolis Golf Club. We soon learned that The Key School had purchased this 9-hole course and plan to build athletic fields, tennis courts, a baseball diamond, nature trail, and a pool on the property.  Much to the displeasure of the local residents, the course closed on September 29, 2013.  Only missed it by 10 months!

Since the primary reason for visiting Annapolis was a family wedding, it was time for Plan B and a reason to eat, drink and make merry. Our first stop was The Scotlaur Inn, a bed & breakfast located on bustling Main Street above the packed and noisy Chick & Ruth’s Delly. Open until 12:30am on the weekends, our first thought was about the lack of sleep that would be occurring the next few nights. However, the historic rooms were cozy and surprisingly quiet.

For our family, it’s all about crab cakes and lobster rolls when visiting Maryland. Phillips Crab Deck and Galway Bay were our choices during our short stay.  Crab Benedict is the breakfast treat at Chick and Ruth’s.

The Springfield/Champion wedding filled one day, but the other included tours of Annapolis. Lace up your walking shoes and try one or all of these: a historic walking tour conducted by Colonial Tours of Annapolis; a boat cruise around Annapolis harbor; and a walk through the US Naval Academy.

Double Bogey:  I should finish with a discussion of golf. We know Annapolis Golf Club is no longer an option, so where to play? If you are military, the United States Naval Academy Golf Club is a good choice. For the non-service golfer, set your sights on Bay Hills Golf Club. Looking for quick and fun, try the 9-hole par 3 course at Severna Park Golf Center. Even though we were initially disappointed, a great weekend was had by all as we welcomed a new member to the Springfield family!

Wind, more wind, snow, cold, and more wind as we worked our way through Wyoming. If you’ve ever driven I-80 through Wyoming you know what I mean. Even though we didn’t play today, you can read my review of Little America Golf Course (from a prior round) at alwaytimefor9.com.  Day 2 of the #aurorauniversity golf bag travels. @jus10wyeth @auroraualumni
After 2 COVID-19 shots and a year away from travel, we are making our initial 2021 trip from our new home in Bend, OR to our old home in Ft. Collins, CO. We’ll be traveling the country looking to play with #aurorauniversity alumni. First stop is close to home at Juniper Golf Course in Redmond, OR. @auspartansports @auroraualumni @jus10wyeth.
A beautiful day in #centraloregon at @worthybrewing in Bend. Finally out and about after my 70+ two shot dose. Worthy was the first place we ate and drank during our initial stop in Bend. We liked it so much we decided to stay.
Meadow Lakes GC - Prineville, OR. First tournament of the year. Should have quit after the 2nd hole.
Awesome day in Central Oregon. The Greens at Redmond.
As we wait for the snow to melt, we travel back to 1998 and Sandpiper Golf Club in Santa Barbara, CA.
One more post from 2000 @pebblebeachresorts.
It’s difficult watching @attproam this time of year. It makes me want to go out and play, but all I see is this outside my door. Time for an Arizona trip.
Standing at the 8th tee box back in 2000. The boys 50/40 Trip. Two of us were 50 that year; two 40.  @pebblebeachresorts
