88 today. That’s three out of the last five rounds in the 80’s for your Juggler. Back’s healthy and I’m playing the most consistently good golf of my life right now. Can’t wait to get out there again. The weather around here is great right now.Anyone else playing this weekend?www.myspace.com0

^ I wish I was playing this weekend. It’s pretty much been raining in Chicago since Friday morning. It stopped yesterday but courses were still swamps. I haven’t touched a club in over 3 weeks with zero good reason. I need to change that real soon. Congrats on playing the best golf of your life. There’s no better feeling.0

Brutal weather for golf this weekend. Had a golf outing yesterday morning and we actually got 18 in. Rained the first few holes and course was soaked but still fun to be out there. Won the closest to the pin on a par 3. 160 yards and hit it to within 5 feet....prob my best shot of the year.0 -

They open the doors on Sunday to the public for the final match. It is realistically your only chance to see the course. I have done it twice and it is absolutely glorious. Not sure I am going to make it Sunday, but trying to. Highly highly recommended. You park at Clementon Park for $20, hop on a school bus, stand around for a little while until the gates open, then get in right as they are about to tee off. They say no phones, but you can sneak a photo or two here and there. The pro shop is not open, though you shouldn't really be buying/wearing Pine Valley gear unless you play it (I have a hat from a neighbor who's son is a caddie there, but never really wear it). It is an awesome walk. Highly highly recommended
A local guy is towards the top of the board after the first day too.
Pine Valley is the number 1 rated course in the US and one of the best in the world. It is amazing.

Played the trump course today. Hell of an experience. Locker room was bananas and walked in and had a locker with a nameplate with my name on it. Shot a 109. Not terrible, all things considered. 3rd round of the year. Tough fucking course too. Lots of cool shots, cool holes and some awesome views. A good day indeed.0

That's awesome. He's a horrible person and president but all the Trump golf courses look beautiful.
Had the day off work and was supposed to play but got rained out and went to Topgolf instead. Hoping to sneak in another round or 2 this year but it isn't looking promising.0 -

that stinks. Still never made it to top golf. The top golf god are against me. Have had plans to go about 5 times and something has always come up, an all night bender to the wife and daughter being deathly sick. I’m off a few days next week so going to get at least one more in.0 -

Less than one week away from my 3 day national championship at Hilton Head Island, SC. I've qualified the last 3 years but this is the first time I'm getting to make the trip.
It was a lot harder to get the logistics lined up when I was living in Fayetteville, Arkansas. But now that I'm in Jacksonville, FL it's a lot more feasible.0 -

I don’t think the money is all that much different in these skins games than 25 years ago even though there is inflation plus the crazy increase in golfer earnings. Day winning $200k just isn’t that big a deal. They don’t seem like they want to beat each other that badly. I think Nicklaus wanted to beat Player, and wanted the money because it was a lot for them.0

Plus they're each getting millions to show up so who cares about the $200k. The old skins games were different.0

I guess the overall point is, yes, it is silly season golf now and it was silly season golf then...but it's just harder to get excited with the amount of money they are making just to show up and they don't really care. $200k to Freddie was a lot more important than $200k to Tiger, and I agree with the point someone made that they wanted to just beat each other more then. Things are a lot more friendly now.
