the farm


for those of you who know me, you know that golf is a big part of my life. i grew up playing the game with my dad and grandfather so it has always been a place where sacred relationship are forged and cultivated.

one of the coolest places that i have found around here to quench my passion is a place called, "farmlinks," in none other than sylacauga, al. i know it sounds like it is in the middle of nowhere and it really is but just listen to what you will find there.

also- it is a turf management and testing facility where other course designers can come and see and actually feel what different types of grass is like on the course.

they also partner with TORO and SCOTTS to make the place one of the best groomed courses in the country.

along with all this you will also find

1.) different grass on every hole and tee box
2.) a par 3 with 200 feet of elevation change from tee to green
3.) lavender scented ice towels on each 9 for those hot days
4.) chilled apples on the first tee
5.) free drinks, food, snacks
6.) complimentary range balls
7.) the nicest practice facility in the southeast not on a pga tour course
8.) some of the most cordial staff ever

so, drop what you're doing, book a date, and check out the farm...for more information check out: www.farmlinksgolfclub.com/
