Dub Celebrates National Golf Lovers Day

I’ve had the pleasure of playing at Champions Retreat a couple of times. Its a truly beautiful place, and anytime I get the opportunity to play out there, I never say no.

Today is National Golf Lovers Day, so I figured it would be the perfect opportunity for me to share some of my favorite golf pictures with y'all. Narrowing them down wasn't easy. I've been playing golf fairly regularly since the Spring of 2018. How often do I play? As often as I can. Between work and family duties, I don't get out as much as I'd like, but I still play as much as I can.

Having a golf day is the absolute best! When I know I'm playing later in the week, I get so excited. I start cleaning my clubs, and my golf shoes, also gotta make sure I have enough golf balls. Listen, I'll be honest, I lose a few every time I play. If you're being honest, I don't think I'm alone when I say that. Anyways, back to the awesome feeling of a golf day. There is nothing better.

Being able to spend several hours outside with your friends is really why we go. Well that, and they usually have beer at the golf course. It's usually a roller coaster of emotions. Good shots, bad shots, made putts, missed putts, high fives, yelling "How did that not go in?!" It's all part of a good golf day. I've been fortunate enough to play a lot of great courses here in the CSRA. If you want to see which ones are my favorite, just click here.

That's my list, of course the folks over at Golf Digest have their list of best courses around Augusta as well, you can see their list here.

These are some of my favorite golf pictures over the years, thanks in advance for checking them out. Happy National Golf Lovers Day!

Sunset Putting

This was a really cool picture from the first time I played Forest Hills back in 2018. My putting stance has gotten better.

Playing The River

I love playing The River Golf Club over in North Augusta. Its a really cool course, and the scenery is amazing!

Forest Hills With My Buddies

Forest Hills was the first course I played when I really started playing golf in 2018, and its still one of my favorites.

Putting At Savannah Lakes

Savannah Lakes over in McCormick is a beautiful course. Some of the holes back up to the lake, so as you can imagine it's a pretty great scenic course.

Golf And Drinks At Belle Meade

Belle Meade in Thomson is another course that I've played a lot. Its another fun course. My favorite hole at Belle Meade is #11.

First Time At Champions Retreat

I've had the pleasure of playing at Champions Retreat a couple of times. Its a truly beautiful place, and anytime I get the opportunity to play out there, I never say no.

Augusta National Women's Amateur

Speaking of Champions Retreat, I got to check out the second round of the ANMA there in 2022, and it was such a cool experience.

Mom And Me At The Masters

Of course, as a golf lover, Masters Week is my favorite week of the year. Augusta National is my favorite place on the planet

Theres Nothing Better Than A Golf Day With Your Friends

This picture was from our golf trip in Mississippi back in July. Yeah it was hot, but we still had a blast.
