Went to Buck Hill for the first time in May of 2014 with a group of guys who had been going on an annual Pocono Open for 39 years. 2015 will be the 40th.
My Dad has been going for 24+ years and for the first time I was finally able to go with him. With school, then college and playing baseball year round, I was never able to go.
May 31st, 2014, I shot my first hole-in-one on Blue #5.
What an experience! What a beautiful area! What beautiful courses.
Buck Hill has 3 separate 9-hole courses. One day you might play White and Red, then play Blue and Red... It can always change.
Driving down from the driving range, my dad was showing me the scenery, the waterfall, and we look up and there is our nations bird. A massive Bald Eagle is sitting in the tree above us. With the Pocono mountains off in the distance and the water fall below the bird... What a sight!
But what would everyone do at that moment? Grab their phone... I enjoyed the moment with my Dad and enjoyed the scenery of this beautiful land.
You ever need anything, just give the Club Pro, Tom O'Malley, a call and he'll take care of you and fix you right up.
Are you a fan of corn hole or horseshoes? Drive about 3 minutes down the street and take on the beautiful playing field of Lawn Bowling.
I thank everyone in our Pocono Open group, I thank Tom O'Malley, and the most important, my Dad.
I am very appreciative of being apart of this great tradition now with such great people in such an amazing area with breath taking scenery... and a beautiful 27 hole golf course at Buck Hill.
