The one classic club in my bag snapped its hickory shaft in going into my trunk the other day so I’ll be tipping it out
Hate that, for a lot of reasons! But I’m glad you’ll be there and it’ll be a good time regardless
Double check that your GHIN is attached to your UKG account to make sure your handicap is accurate, otherwise it’ll have you play off scratch for an added challenge
If anyone is staying at the Best Western in Wayland or willing to pick me up from there on your way to the course my wife will be forever grateful for allowing her to sleep in before she and my daughter spend a girls day in Grand Rapids.
Is Diamond Spring walkable? If so, does anyone have an extra push cart they don’t mind hoofing to the course?
I was planning on riding since it’s 36 holes but several people have said it’s walkable. I can bring my push cart if you want.
I’ll definitely take it for the first 18. Thank you very much.
It’s imminently walkable. A great walking course.
Quail Ridge or Thorn Apple? Want to get a Sunday morning round before I fly home.
Thornapple would be the better choice between the two.
Sounds good unless UKG changes again I think we are playing together in the morning as well.
As a Texan living in the devil’s butthole, I’m jealous of 6:30am tee times.
Updates:
Afternoon tee times have been changed to a 2pm shotgun start, at the course’s request. They have another event they are working around and hoped this would allow for less oversighted overlap. Told you tee times were all alleged. Check UKG for latest/greatest, as always.
For the same reason, hot food will only be available during the intermission between rounds. Cold/prepackaged snacks (candy, chips etc.) will still be available after the PM round, as will col’ beers and the large patio & bar for us to gather.
ON THE PLUS SIDE
For the same reasons as above - the course is effectively fully reserved for the day. That means we will not be dancing around public play, other than a few small tee times related to the other event we will have the place to ourselves for our two rounds. That’s a hell of a deal on what it usually a $10,000+ course rental
→ I don’t wanna hear shit about pace of play. If you’re stuck, it’s one of us causing it (and I expect you to let said person know)
Are we allowed to fire warning shots?
sure, so long as you don’t mind Jackson and Dave D firing them back at you
