qualified to be the first golfers to play Evans Prairie on opening day, which was last Friday. It was quite a feat they performed to be the 72 \u00a0winners of the Golf Quest 2012 Challenge, which was to play the 504 holes of golf in The Villages that were available as of January 2012.\u00a0 One group called the Iron Men of West Hemingway did it in 43 days.\u00a0\u00a0 Perseverance personified is what I would call it, they would probably call it having fun. Another group\u00a0The Inspirations also performed the feat in 2010 and for doing it back to back their wives surprised them with tickets to the Ryder Cup.\u00a0 The Fore Golf Divas\u00a0had something special on their bags.\u00a0 When the club house was being built there was a large pile of wood scraps and one of the players took four little pieces and made them into bag tags for her foursome, with their names and Fridays date.\u00a0They will now have the memory and a piece of the clubhouse with them always.\u00a0 How about the golfer who used the same ball on every hole, that would be an even bigger feat for many of us.\u00a0 I love that The Villagers all seem to have a story\u00a0within\u00a0the story.\u00a0\u00a0I also enjoy the names people assign to their teams\u00a0such as\u00a0the above names plus Team No Four Putz, Team Occupy the Villages and how bout\u00a0Team Double Eagles.\u00a0 I wonder if the names help their game…did they really\u00a0have no\u00a0four putts or double eagles? From the sounds of it Evans Prairie Championship Golf Course also met the challenge of being one of the best courses in the Villages..the Golf Quest participants gave it rave reviews\u00a0and \u00a0thumbs up. Congratulations golfers and Evans Prairie too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
