Tony Butler Golf Course in Harlingen

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.
