下集開始

有1洞五桿洞，第二球我拿出三木直接打到果嶺前，爽！但是呢，到果嶺前就是找不到球。我一直認為我的球可以不見，但是找不到這種狀況是我無法接受。因為這個球場樹林很少，球洞和球洞之間，雖然有距離分開，很容易打到別的球道，如果你打歪。所以我常常看到球友到我的球道來打球，這樣非常可以解釋我的球到底怎麼會不見！大家根本不需要帶球，反正看到球就打。

這個球場的球道非常的窄不好打。果嶺也是偏小，沙坑也是設計在球友會落的位置。非常類似我打過的Timber Point球場，並不會感覺特別的難，只是覺得這類的球場可以鎖定打一個，不需要每個都打。而且這個球場我說過球都會找不到，打球人的質量上，是我見過最差，所以應該不會再來這個球場打了。

有幾個洞的球道設計是左右狗腿，你視野上是很難可以看到果嶺位置，所以可能用球道木或是長鐵來進攻會更好。尤其是你打白tee，球就不需要太遠，因為球道會拐彎。我今天的木桿打了距離都很不錯，第二桿基本上用中鐵、短鐵就可以，球道木也發揮得不錯，距離的發揮都不是太大問題。

果嶺來說，速度約八。有幾個果嶺的斜坡設計非常有挑戰，我算是經驗比較多，所以對這種旗杆插在斜坡上也可以推的得心應手。今天前九有兩個長推推進，其他都可以推到洞口一步的距離，非常認可我目前推桿表現。今天打得差不多五個洞就開始下點小雨，結果到了最後1洞就開始下大了，只能收工撤了。雖然沒有打後9，但其實這個球場的風格就是如此，變化也有限，我是打過其他類似的球場，所以對於有沒有打後9實在沒有太大的期待。這個暴雨來得又急又快，基本球友都撤回來會所，打不了了。而這個下午的暴雨，紐約又淹大水了。

另外這個球場還有一個我無法接受的問題，就是蚊子超級多。只要在樹叢、草叢旁邊，蚊子就像吸到什麼東西一樣黏在腳、手、脖子，真的超扯。而且它們超級吸血，也趕不走。常常我揮桿完，蚊子還黏在我的身體，必須得要把它們打死。這是目前為止在美國打球的球場裡蚊子最多，也最扯的一次。

總之，這個球場和另一個球場Timber point差不多，我個人比較推timber Point，所以如果你喜歡打這類的球場可以選擇這兩個的其中之一就可以了，費用上兩個是差不多。兩個位置也是非常的近，所以就看你選擇哪一個？不需要兩個都打，因為雷同度相當高。同時這個球場大家都隨便打球的，打球的品格很渣，這也是我更加傾向打timber Point。

我回家開高速其中有一段還整個封了，積水，只能走Local回家。前9打了兩個小時，回家開車兩個小時。真的有點久，回家後就沒雨啦，馬上開箱期待已久的球袋，再大家分享。West Sayville 球場就是整個負分，不會再來的感想！我和它的磁場相斥，今天的這些鳥事都是最好的證明。

There was one par 5 where my second shot with a 3-wood landed right in front of the green — felt great! But then I get up there and the ball's gone. Look, I can accept a ball just disappearing, but this? Not okay. Because the course has so few trees, holes are separated but it's easy to drift onto the wrong fairway if you're off line. So I kept seeing other groups wander over onto my fairway and just hit away — that explains exactly where my balls kept going. Nobody out there bothers carrying their own markers or checking — they just see a ball and swing.

The fairways here are seriously narrow and tough, greens are small too, and the bunkers are placed right where shots tend to land. Very similar to Timber Point. Not an especially hard course overall, just the kind of place you only really need to play once — no need to play it repeatedly. And like I said, with balls constantly disappearing, the caliber of golfers here was the worst I've seen — I don't think I'll be coming back.

A few holes have dogleg fairways where you can barely see the green from the tee, so using a fairway wood or long iron for the approach works better. Especially from the white tees — you don't need much distance since the fairway bends anyway. My driver was working great distance-wise today, and for approach shots mid and short irons did the job — fairway woods performed well too, so distance really wasn't an issue.

As for the greens, speed was about an 8. Some of them have really challenging slopes, but I've got enough experience that pins on slopes like that don't throw me off — I can still handle the putts. Front nine I had two long putts, and pretty much sank everything else within a foot of the hole — really happy with how my putting held up today.

About five holes in it started drizzling, and by the last hole it turned into a downpour, so we had to call it and head in. Didn't get to play the back nine, but honestly the course's style doesn't change much throughout, and I've played similar layouts before, so I wasn't too broken up about missing it. The storm hit hard and fast — everyone rushed back to the clubhouse, round over. And that afternoon storm ended up flooding parts of New York again.

One more thing I really couldn't stand — the mosquitoes were insane. Anywhere near bushes or tall grass, they'd just latch onto your legs, hands, neck like they were starving. Total bloodsuckers, impossible to shake off. I'd finish a swing and still have mosquitoes stuck on me, had to smack them off. Hands down the worst mosquito situation I've experienced at any course in the US.

Bottom line — this course is pretty much on par with Timber Point, but personally I'd pick Timber Point over this one. So if this is the style of course you're into, just pick one of the two — no need to play both, they're priced about the same and located close to each other, and honestly similar enough that playing both is redundant. Plus, with how loosely people play here — the etiquette was just bad — that's another reason I lean toward Timber Point.

On the drive home, part of the highway was completely shut down from flooding, so I had to take local roads. Front nine took two hours, and the drive home took another two hours — felt like forever. By the time I got home the rain had stopped, so I finally got to unbox that golf bag I'd been waiting on — more on that another time. West Sayville gets a flat-out negative from me — not coming back. Feels like this place and I just don't vibe — today's whole mess was proof enough of that.
