I played the course as a young boy who grew up in the area and also as a student at the university.<\/p>\n<p>The SBU course has character. During a nine-hole walk you might dodge water balloons being shot from college students dorm room windows, lose a ball in a grave yard and\/or doink one off a passing train.<\/p>\n<p>It is not a great course in the typical sense, but it is a great place. It&#8217;s the kind of course Rick Reilly would write a golf book about. There are a zillion stories about the regulars, students and once-comers that could put a smile on your face.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Mo&#8217; Golf told me the 7th hole at SBU would be in contention for the best 7tb hole in Western New York a few weeks back. \u00a0It made me smile and think of the countless times I played it.<\/p>\n<p>The 7th requires a well-placed tee shot. There are trees and OB down the right and a creek that dangerously hugs the left side. The hole sets up for a player who can work the ball left to right.<\/p>\n<p>The second shot is uphill, often into the wind and aimed at a small green. Land short and the ball will come back at you with pace. Go over the green and chip back at your own peril.<\/p>\n<p>The Bona course is worth the trip if you&#8217;ve never played it. Bring your A game when you stand atop the 7th tee deck. Bring an extra shirt for the water balloons.<\/p>\n<p>*************************<\/p>\n<p>Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/buffalogolfer.com\/wordpress\/st-bonaventure-golf-course-scrambler-memories\/\" target=\"_blank\">Scrambler&#8217;s SBU Course memories<\/a>.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t have enough toes and fingers to count the times I&#8217;ve played the 9-hole track at St. Bonaventure University.
