Cliff what course was that?

Cool. Yeah that's a longer course. The white's are even 6500 ish. 

Good round!

I like it a lot. Lot of fun and tough shots and I seem to play decent there.  Some nice holes along the water on the back.

Likewise, impressive stuff. Sounds like you’ve come a long way.

Wish I could play more.

Wow.  Super impressive.  I played 50 rounds once and that was 2014.  Not coincidentally, that was the year my index was at its lowest point.  Tough to play much more in Chicagoland (for me anyway), but I don't know that I'll sniff 50 rounds until my kids are off to college.  Until then I'll continue to hack around and play my 15-20 rounds a year.

Don't think I've played 50 rounds total since having kids

I went years and only played a few rounds per year and only attended local concerts.  Now that two kids are adults and the last is 13, I get to travel to shows and play golf much more often.  For you young people out there.. I highly recommend having kids early!  I'm 48 and life is opening up.

15-20 still isn't too bad!  I'm prob around 20-30 rounds per year which is pretty nice.  But my kids are also young enough where I'm not dealing with youth sports every weekend....have maybe another year or 2 until all that starts up and then I'm in trouble.

Yeah my kids are 8 and 10 and sports/activities are in full force. Last year was about 10-12 rounds so the 15-20 might be an optimistic forecast. I’m going for it though!

^ Plus my little guy likes to play so I get him out with me for twilight rounds sometimes. Helps to sneak a few more in and he loves the game, so win-win.

That's awesome.  My kids are 4 and 2 (wife is pushing hard for a 3rd...I'm still torn on that one) so not dealing with sports/activities taking over my life completely just yet.  Have taken my 4 year old to the range a few times and he likes it.  Can't wait to actually start taking him to courses in a few years.

We don't have kids which is why Im able to play so much. Also, having a membership certainly entices you to get your money's worth. My handicap is currently an 11.3 but I haven't turned in any scores over the last few weeks. Got a tournament coming up and don't need my handicap lowered. I'll put my scores in afterwards.

There's no way you're still an 11 index with those rounds,  unless they are on easy courses.

No way. Im definitely in the 9 or 10 range. Im a member at Dogwood Golf Club in Austell, GA. 95% of my rounds happen there.

Hate my pick for this week but not changing it.  Let's go Brooks.

Bunch of Draft Kings. Should be a fun weekend.

All my guy Brooks does is show up big time when it matters the most.  Won't be surprised at all if he's right there on Sunday afternoon.

Went with Morikawa in my one and done pool. A few DK contests and a whole bunch of top 5 and top 10 bets.  Going to be a great weekend.

if “my” juggler were to ever get in good with me, I might send him the pristine balls I find every day, as I do for “your empty glass.” empty only wants taylormades. I have another buddy who gets all the pristine pro V1s. any other brand or taylormades or pro V1s with sharpie marks, grass stains, etc. go to neighbors. I probably average 8 found balls a day. maxflis, top flites, etc. go back into the woods.

You want me to get in good with you so you can provide me with your pristine balls?

Wob, this is an all ages forum. I don't feel comfortable.
