    That’s why our odds of getting tickets are so low! Losers

    I won this at the auction for this course near me that closed up shop last year. Was open for decades and I really loved playing it. Was a nice public course about 10 minutes away. Used it to really learn how to play the game over the last five years. 

    15th hole had an elevated tee box and, on a clear day, you could see the Philly skyline in the distance about 12 miles away. Short par 4. Fun hole to play. 

    Had it set last week when I was getting a drain installed at the same time. Surprisingly, the wife is okay with it!

    That is a great idea.  Looks really good there in the yard.

    I've played it several times. It really is an amazing place. The town is a big surfing spot as well.

    I meant to ask if you had. That’s fucking awesome. Pretty solid position up there too. You got a beautiful country dude. Hell of a pic

    That dune par 3 is one of the coolest holes I have ever seen. I read about it in the golfers journal a while back and seeing it on tv is cool as shit.

    Played Gateway National in East St. Louis earlier this week.  Really nice course if anyone reading this is around St. Louis and a cheap rate.    Anyway, first hole I eagled from about 90 yards in the fairway!  I got rid of negative numbers on the next hole but still cool.  Ended with an 84 so getting closer to that magic number of 79 (5 shots is a lot though).  

    Then of course I aggravated my neck just brushing my teeth this morning so I won’t be able to play for another week probably.   Been the story of this golf season.  Play 4-5 times, aggravate neck and take 10 days off.  Repeat.

    RIP FDR, you horrible dump you. Always sad to see a muni go, no matter how shitty it was. Was my go to for almost a decade, especially before my career got going and cheaper was more important than nice. 5 minutes from my house in Philly and cheap. Has gone waaaaaay down hill from an already shitty place the past few years.p

    will be pouring one out on the course before it closes.

    Sad to see a course close.  Especially a muni course where all people could play and enjoy rather than a few.  Lots of memories out there. Like a ballpark being torn down.

    Champions Tour event was a lot more entertaining than the PGA tourney this week.  Firestone led to some high scores.

    You guys should have saw the driver I hit off the deck to reach a par-5 in two over the weekend. It was a thing of beauty.  Full-disclosure: It was a captain and crew tournament and we didn't use my drive. But we sure as hell used by second shot....and I made the putt for eagle. Finished -12....four strokes back of the winners.

    Driver off the deck? Impressive! Did it run up a good amount or did you get it airborne?

    Very low trajectory with  big-time run-up. It was a dogleg right to an elevated green. I rightly figured that I would slice the hell out of the driver off the deck, which I did, so it curved the dogleg perfectly and ran up to the green. It's not a shot I would try too often. But on the 18th hole, drunk, in a captain and crew format, it was worth a shot.

    Very cool. That’s one extremely tough shot to execute. Even hitting a solid 3 wood off the deck is difficult for most. Well done.

    Thanks, man. On a scale of "the head flying off the club" (thrown out there by my friend as the likely outcome) to "actually reaching the green," it couldn't have gone any better.

    British Open week!  This course looks fantastic.   

    I will go with McIlroy for my pick based on the great story it would be.
