Chesapeake Beauty

By: Stephanie Jennings

This is the best description to give to my experience at the Chesapeake Semi-Final District. A fantastic golf facility on the Eastern Shore of Maryland called Queenstown Harbor coupled with the most perfect golf day of the year equaled quite a memorable experience . This facility has 36 holes and is more known for its River course which has spectacular views of the water, but its Lakes course is no slouch itself. This was the competitive course that posed a nice challenge for the Championship competitors.

And how can I forget the AMAZING weather! 85 degrees and hardly any humidity on AUG. 9th. What is wrong with this picture? All who attended this day were very blessed to experience not only a great golf course, but to also experience it on one of the nicest days of the year. THANK YOU, MOTHER NATURE!!!

There were some intense times with a few interesting rulings. How do you proceed, in accordance with the Rules, if your golf ball enters a regular or lateral water hazard? I’m sure the women of the Chesapeake area will be sure to give you proper instruction. Remember page #16 on the USGA’s little booklet to the Rules of Golf.

Oh, and if you’re ever in the Eastern Shore area, be sure to visit a cute little town called Easton. You will surely enjoy the quaintness and the history. Be sure to try the crab imperial if it’s on the menu. : )
