July 25th – My Backyard Golf Course – Cogerson Links

Let’s see in 2013….I decided to watch as many movies as I could….end result…I watched 1,418 movies.

In 2014…I decided I wanted to see if I could watch at least one movie every day for the entire year.  Mission accomplished…and I again crossed 1,000 movies watched for the year.

I pretty much behaved myself in 2015….though I still watched over 700 movies.

Which gets us to 2016.  Beyond my backyard is a 9.5 acre park.  When we first moved here (in 2014)….we found some snakes and a possum right behind the fence that separates our yard from the park.  Well I went out there and cut that tall grass in hopes of keeping the critters away from the house.  As I was standing in that park….I thought….I could hit some golf balls out here….especially if the grass was shorter.

So I started my push lawnmower and cut a small path through the park.  Well by the end of the summer of 2014 I had created a nice little chipping area in that park.  When the summer of 2015 came around…I started thinking….maybe a little putting green area would go nicely with my chipping area.  By the end of the summer…I had made 3 golf holes in that park…..complete with a tee area, a fairway and a green.  So at the start of summer of 2016, I figured I would take a cue for the Lorax….and I figured I “keep on biggering and biggering”.  Now our Ultimate Movie Rankings golf course has 9 Par 3 holes.  And with the help of a friend and his drone….we can bring you some pictures of my homemade golf course.

The entry point to the golf course. I get to walk right out of my back door right on to the course.

This is the hole #1. And gives you a feel for how the park looks.

This is the famous Sawgrass Island hole. You either get it on the green or it is in the water.

This is our version....the distance is correct....the green is the same dimension...we are just missing the water.
This is our version of the TPC Sawgrass island hole….the distance is correct….the green is the same size…we are just missing the water.  We play the hole the same way…..it is either on the green or the ball is considered to be in the water.  Needless to say….if I played the real hole the way I play my fake hole….I would lose many many golf balls.

Our 9th green…..that x at the bottom of the picture is the shadow of the drone. Go around our course twice….and the 19th hole is only a few steps away.

Well that is a tour of the Ultimate Movie Rankings golf course….it might not be the prettiest golf course…..but the free green fees can’t be beat!

    1. Hey hiller….glad you like the course…and yes I admit….especially when it is so hot….somewhat crazy cutting almost 10 acres of grass.

    1. Hey Alex….Emma and her parents came over Sunday…and Dr. Chad brought his drone…the drone took all of those pictures….and video is coming too.

  3. So my old man, Bruce Cogerson, seems to have lost it, every week he cuts the grass in the field behind his house. By Thursday he is “playing” in the first round of whatever tournament the PGA happens to be playing. For the upcoming last Major Championship of the year he has introduced aerial coverage.

    1. When he finishes the 9th hole the second time, the kids and I line up on the sidelines and quietly clap for him as he walks to “the clubhouse”.

      1. Hey Bryan this time last year you were in the very same field “playing” in the same PGA tournament….certainly you remember…maybe this will help jog your memory.

    1. Thanks Helakoski…thanks for checking out my golf course….it is greatly appreciated.

    1. Thank you Rey. I agree the camera is awesome….makes me think I should design a few more holes.
