Beacon News sports writers shed light on the local sports scene

Daily Dose: May 11 - Orchard Valley bares its teeth...

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

One of Aurora's top public courses - and one of the best in the state - hosted a U.S. Open regional qualifier on Monday, drawing some of the best local professionals and amateurs from the area.

The wind picked up but the course was really in fine shape and more than held its own as some of these pro's really took some body blows getting around the course.

That said - we would never play the course the way it was set up for these guys. The rough was allowed to grow for a week or so, and the greens were cut and rolled quite a few times leading into the event.

But, if you feel brave enough, tip it out and give it a go - and see how you might have fared!
