Jackson Country Club Golf Course, Jackson, Mississippi


My first venture into golf while on vacation in Mississippi and Tennessee was in Jackson, Mississippi at the Jackson County Club.



The Jackson Country Club is a eighteen hole golf course designed by designer John Fought.

My brother-in-law, Ronnie Smith, told me "I haven't played much. I use to play a lot, but not anymore."

My ancestors (Cherokee) would say 'he speaks with a forked tongue.
I had an idea that those words clearly told me Ronnie was a "ringer."

I'm a newbee golfer (this was my 15th round of golf) and if I shoot anywhere below 120 or near 100 I've had a good round of golf.

Ronnie, who hasn't played very much (and am I glad) shot a 79.

I shot 108 and was thrilled.

Okay, let's start a little closer to the beginning. I brought my golf clubs (via Southwest Airlines) to Jackson, Mississippi so maybe Ronnie and I would get an opportunity to play a round.

Vision this:

Newbee (me) with new golf bag (US Army), used- but not much - Arnold Palmer irons, Woods and looking somewhat fashionable.

Ronnie's (ringer) golf bag looked like it was older than me (65), clubs - irons and woods - have no idea but lots of miles and years on them and he looked more fashionable.

Get the picture?

Newbee (me) looked like a new biker with more chrome on his ride than smarts in his head.














Ronnie (ringer) looked like a newbee who stumbled onto the golf course.













I smile every time I think of that picture.

It was fun, the course is very beautiful.

The more I play golf, the better review I hope to give on the course. For now all I can say is I'm having fun learning and like sharing with others.

As the old phrase goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. So, here is the Jackson Country Club course.


















































My sister, Candy, is blessed with Ronnie as a husband, father of their children and a nicer guy, you'll have to play a lot of golf to find a better one.

Even if he is a ringer. Just kidding.


PS: When you see Ronnie as him about "Barney's lake."
