Oh man. Had myself a day today. Outside shot to tie my best round ever (83). Entered 18 with an 80. Finished with....a fucking 88. Mother fucker. I'll take it though. Glorious day today. Low 80's, low humidity, slight breeze. That's golf weather, gentlemen.

Also won our front 9 bet with a chip in for bird on 9. It was the stuff legends are made of. I think Golf Channel will mention it this evening. Tune in. 

God speed. 

Those are the rounds that make you just want to come back right away or play another 18.  

I played last weekend and shot an 82 on a par 70 (I've never broke 80 so a really great score for me).  After not hitting a single fairway the last time I played, and honestly having no clue how I ever would again, I was able to hit 11 of 14 fairways this time.  And these were solid drives too.  I just couldn't hit my irons and ended up in five bunkers.  Golf is a mindf*ck.

Just washed the golf cart.  Looking like a snack.

I want to play golf, drink beers, smoke and shoot a bad score

I want to, and am doing, one of those things.

I'll for sure being doing the first 2 tomorrow and possibly the 3rd.  But hopefully not the 4th.  This is the most golf I've played in years and it is fucking awesome.  I have a great public course less than a mile from my house....greens fess are reasonable and it is in excellent shape.  Can't beat it.

Quite jealous. Playing less golf than I have in 10 years.

Nothing better than an inexpensive muni in good shape.

9 iron in hand at all times off the fairway.  Problem solved.  And yes...that is one hell of a muni!

With no tournaments to play this season so far, I've been driving around adding new courses to my list of unique courses played.  At 465,  adding 466 tomorrow.

Brutal!  Had something similar a couple weeks ago....was on my way to breaking 90 for the first time in a couple years and ended the round with back to back 8s for a 93.  Back to back snowmen....unreal.  Turns out drinking 7% IPAs on the course loosens you up a little too much on the back 9.

Yup I had about 6 of those in addition to the tastiest double transfusion I’ve had in a while at the turn. Was definitely a little buzzed towards the end.

the queers at my course seem partial to white claws. $21 for a sixer if you buy them at the course.

Mt. Prospect Golf Club.  They re-did the entire course a few years ago and it is top-notch.  The suburbs are great for golf....there has to be at least 20 courses within 20 minutes of me.  Didn't play a ton when we lived in the city since it was a pain in the ass to drive to the burbs whenever I wanted to play.

That's right.  Looks like a great course.  Never played it, but if you're looking for options close to you check out Oak Meadows in Addison or Schaumburg Golf Club.  Used to play them both a ton when I lived in that area.  Oak Meadows was re-done a few years ago.  If you venture out west try Cantigny in Wheaton sometime.  That's a gem of a course, but pricey.  And you're right...the burbs have a ton of top notch courses.  We're spoiled here.
