Twilight Golf in Somerset County - Quail Brook

$10 for 9 holes of golf, does it get any better than that?

Last night a friend of mine and I went to hit some balls over at Quail Brook. The twilight rate starts at 5:30 PM, and only costs you $10 (if you are a Somerset County resident). If you recall, I have my low round at this course, 82, back a few weeks. So I definitely enjoy playing here!

Well, last night was no exception. We only got the front 9 in, as sunset keeps getting earlier and earlier. But I was striking the ball great, and carded a 37 (+1). Yup, wow...my lowest 9 ever, by far. 2 Birdies, 4 Pars, 3 Bogies. I managed this with the driver, 3 wood, hybrid in the trunk. 3-PW, 52, 58, putter. I had a few inconsistent rounds there, but I think what brought me back was thinking back to this Ben Hogan golf swing video. The little motion of turning the hips first, and coming down is such a great visual for me.

Quail Brook is a decent course for a municipal course. Interesting holes, the front nine is pretty open, while the back nine is pretty tight. The fairways are getting a little chewed up now, and the greens are pretty slow and beaten up. But, still, for $10, you really can't beat the deal.

We have a tee-time Saturday morning, and I can hardly wait! Hopefully this feeling can stick with me for a few more days!

On another note, I've added My Daily Slice to the mix here. He's got a great post about the greatness of Tiger Woods up on his site now.
