    Played 9 holes by myself this morning....kinda forgot how nice it is to play by yourself.  Shot a 46 which is pretty damn good for me....no 8's which is always a nice thing!  Have really gotten into it and practiced/played quite a bit the past few weeks.  Of course I wait until the end of summer to do that.  Hoping to get a decent amount of rounds in for the fall.

    I love solo golf, especially when the course is empty and I can play a couple extra balls and fly around the course.

    Welp, I have played a grand total of 2.5 rounds so far this year, 2 rounds and a par 3 course and I am set to play Trump National (Philly) with my company's CEO in a little over a month.  Oh, also likely to get on Philly Cricket Club this fall.  I think I need to get to the range...

    Fall/Spring golf > Summer golf

    Cliff, where’s the Trump course in Philly?

    Absolutely. 

    Jersey. A little ways down too I think. I see signs for it on the way to the shore.  So not in Philly or even particularly close.  Not 100% sure though.

    And for the record, I hate the motherfucker, but not gonna say no to the round with someone like that

    Spring > Summer > Fall

    There is only one reason I don’t put Fall above Summer. LEAVES! If I’m not in the fairway I hate searching for the ball in leaves. I play a lot of courses with mature trees so it can be a real pain in the ass.

    Fuck Koepka.

    Going to be in the Outer Banks for a week starting this weekend. Hoping to golf at least three times. Anyone golfed down there before? I know there are not a ton of courses but any recommendations?

    Have played Seascape a bunch. A couple annoying blind shots and a par 3 on the water and if the wind is blowing can be absolutely brutal, but a nice course.

    Won tickets to the Drive, Chip, and Putt competition at Augusta through the ticket lottery this week.  Will be my 4th trip to Augusta but first time for the DCP competition.

    That's awesome. Do you have any idea about what it's like to get tickets to that Women's Am tournament? I would go see that.

    Assume you can't walk the course for DCP?

    Women's Amateur is done through lottery as well. Some friends of mine went last year and had a great time. 

    Ya the DCP is only open for the range, 18th green, #1 tee, #9 green, #10 tee. Main golf shop and concessions will be open too.

    I like currituck a lot more. I am not a big fan of seascape. People that I play that course with are, but I think it is annoyingly hard. Might just be that it doesn’t fit my game but I have left it annoyed on more than one occasion

    They seem to have killed the Greenbrier by moving it.  It got a few big names in the past but by making it the first tourney of the year, no really big names this year..Grounds badges are free but the crowd looks really small. Im going tomorrow. Still a gorgeous place to walk around.

    Was out in Denver for the Bears game over the weekend.  We stayed in Frisco, CO Friday night and played some golf out in the mountains.  Most beautiful course I've ever played.  And holy shit does the ball fly out there....hit a 6 iron 250 yards on 1 hole.  It sure helps being at 9-10K feet!!

    I've only been to Frisco in the winter.  Good memories with the family.  Love skiing.

    But I went to Telluride in 2016 and that was the first time in COlorado in the summer.  It blew me away.

    Ended up playing Currituck, Seascape and the Carolina Club. Currituck is definitely the best. Carolina Club is nice too. Pretty wide open course. Seascape only had the back 9 open so didn't really get the full experience there.
