They are building another course in Nova Scotia as well and so not pushing to head that way until it opens.0 -

Still going here in Chicago area. The fact that it's dark by 645 now is slowing me down since I would usually get 18 in 1 afternoon during the week with my weekends full of youth sports. Played 9 on a beautiful afternoon last week. I'll just have to keep sneaking in 9 holes as long as the weather permits which is usually sometime in November. And then the usual December-March period with nothing but indoor simulators.0 -
All the beers on property were $3, except the 22 oz drafts, which were $4. Mammoth Dunes had Italian beef and brats for a $1 at the turn, and Sand Valley had breakfast sandwiches and tacos for $1. Nice touches.

Indifference71 said:Phil is losing his mind. Now he's saying he never did an interview with Shipnuck. I guess that long statement he released apologizing for things he said in that interview was fake too???I’m just glad he picked the “winning side” in the Saudi attack on the PGA Tour. Jeez, widows he hear himself?

The only way anyone knows if there is a LIV tournament happening is by controversial remarks made in a press conference. Nobody cares about the actual gold being played.www.myspace.com0

7 iron broke at a lesson yesterday. Right under the grip. Weird. Club flew straight backwards so glad no one was behind me.
No Laying Up Scandanavia dropped today. Looking forward to watching it.0 -
Something weird is happening. Driver has been a problem for me, always. Just a nice slice.
It started at Torrey Pines, bled over into another round then culminated during a scramble on Monday. I can't miss. Every drive is 275+ and in the fairway. I missed 2 fairways the other day and one was because it went through. I don't understand it. I'm not complaining, but I don't understand it.

I pray whatever happened to you happens to me at some point. Might hit the range at lunch to get some practice in.www.myspace.com0 -

The days when the driver is working are just so much fun. Nothing more frustrating that looking for your ball every hole in the rough or the trees.0

HIt 100 balls today and did short game for an hour. First practice session in months. If Rory can find 8 mph more ball speed, my team has promised me I can find it too. My team is my small dog.

I don't have the NLU FOMO, because I know if I ever took a 2 week buddies golf trip to Sweden, I would be getting a divorce either before or after the trip. The Visby course sounds awesome, and I'm looking forward to that episode. I would have to take the family, and sneak in a couple rounds.

Played in a member-guest. Format was cool in that they took your best score from each hole over the two days. So if you blew up on #5 on Friday it didn't hurt you unless you couldn't better your score on that hole the next day. The first day was best ball and had some fun. Driver was terrible but managed two birdies so that helped the cause.
Second day was a lot more pressure and I failed miserably. Each partner tees off, and then the other partner plays the other's second shot. Alternating shot from there from best second shot. So not only am I screwing up my tee shot, but now I'm taking the better player out of the hole too. Still a good time. I think we shot a 64 adjusted for handicap. Solidly in the middle of the pack I think.
Unfortunately won't be invited back until I can prove I can hit a tee ball in play
P.S. Typical golf, after playing like crap I hit a great drive down the middle and a great 3 hybrid on the second to last hole, and then hit a beauty of a tee shot on the last hole (a par 3). Golf knows how to keep you coming back for more punishment.Post edited by bootlegger10 on0
