And the foursome stopped in the dappled sunlight to behold the most unique Par 5 in all of golf.
6th hole on Kings North at Myrtle Beach National Golf Club
Nicknamed “The Gambler,” the par 5 6th hole challenges the daring golfer with an island fairway that offers a shortcut to the green. Choosing the shortcut leaves a fairly good chance of going for the green in two, thus the “Gamble.” Layup safely right and you will always wonder, “Could I have done it?
Jack Nicholas designed, Kings North is one of three courses at Myrtle Beach National. Southcreek and West Course are the other two.

That song keeps coming up. Someone commented some of its lyrics on my Las Vegas post recently. I think it’s time to get out my Kenny & Dolly Christmas album.

It sounds like an omen and it is about time to get in the Christmas spirit.

Ah… My hubby likes to, as we say ‘Flog’ – and he often feeds the Cracken (any water source). But he makes enough good ones to keep going back…
One year when on vacation in the south – I played 9 holes with him. Made par on one hole – I think that was the last time I played 😉

The good ones are why us hackers play. You should get back out there. If nothing else, enjoy being out in fresh air.
Thanks for coming by

I do some cardio classes, yoga, tai-chi, bowl once a week, walk when it isn’t freezing (I live in a four season area)… and write!
I’ll let hubby gift me free time when he ‘Flogs!’ – I’ve got a nice yard to enjoy fresh air too. ~Thanks
Just don’t feed the Cracken too many golf balls 😉 (From that one golf commercial where the Cracken actually has picked up a golfer… and the whispering announcers wonder if he’s got enough ‘club’) 😀

My hubby likes to play golf but hasn’t played for years. Once we left Florida, his golf buddies were gone and his game slipped away. What an interesting story about “The Gambler”. I imagine many a golfer became frustrated trying to play that hole. I love the photo and perfect for the prompt. Thank you for joining in.

Loved your prompt. Look forward to the next ones. I hope your husband finds some new buddies, it stays in your blood.

Yes, he misses it. I meant to ask him if he has heard of this hole.

If he has been to MB he may have. It’s one of the oldest and best course here. Too difficult for me, I found out
