Today I had the pleasure to play Tony Butler golf course in Harlingen, with my spiritual advisor Father Jim. When I saw the course I recognized it as being very similar in look to Tyrrell Park in Beaumont. Both old style course, set in a park, with suitable character. Tyrrell Park was my grandfather's home course for many years and my father's growing up.
Tony Butler was the long time pro at this course. A good driving course, but not long so there were a lot of short irons in. But the greens were small and sloped and surprisingly well bunkered. I shot at 84 and Jim and I tied. So it's a push until next time.
This marks 4 of 12 new courses played this year. Off to a good start.
