That’s some earth shattering stuff. The compression boots must be as good as advertised!

I plan on making this trip every year - perfect respite from the heat in Jax and a taste of everything we don’t have in NE Florida. Hanging in Ballard, getting over to Bainbridge, exploring the Olympic Peninsula, and carving out a few days to get to Gamble are all in-order for the next trip.
You love to see it.

If @TaylorD did use it, he used the hell out of it. Dude was crushing it every time I checked the leaderboard.
Confirmed he was T6 in quota on Saturday, off of golf paternity leave with a 79.

I’m so disappointed I was like 5 yards left of the green now!
Guess I should clarify TD was not playing the whites…

Having done this loop once before, skip Moses/DC, and work a route to play a couple of the rural 9-holers that are throughout any route you plan to take. All are a blast, and a good breakup in the playing world class joints.

Literal quote from @TaylorD on the GMO 18th tee one time: “240? I don’t have that”
(as in, he hits it too far)

I’ve been there from the whites (and missed the Eagle putt), never accomplished the feat from the blues yet.
Went for it on Saturday, but came up about 10 yards short for the right edge.

“official” reasons from Sea-Tac
- Summer traveler volume has been continuing into the normally slower fall season, something that hasn’t been seen since before the pandemic. On Sunday, between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m., TSA screened more passengers than any other morning since the pandemic.
- The pandemic changed the dynamic of travel trends. For example, passenger traffic after Labor Day typically drops about 15%. TSA anticipated this change and has been bringing in additional staff to cover the summer peak. However, the additional staffing ended on Labor Day.
- Maintenance and construction had taken two lanes offline at one of the checkpoints.
With the exception of 3…those seems like Sea-Tac just failed to plan for checks notes a bunch of airline passengers that have had tickets for quite a while.

First things first. Metabolism rates go through the roof when you walk Gamble Sands, Quicksands, 36 at Chambers, then Gold Mountain. That food didn’t stand a chance. It’s fun to feel 16 again even for a moment.
Second, compression boots are a real thing. Shout-out free marketing…buy Normatec during holidays when they do their discounts. Not for fakes.
Third, love love overtime. I paid good money for that Gold Mountain round. Chip off was delightful, if only to see the beverage cart attendant slide on in like a truffle pig sniffing for wallets.

Honestly it was like she was in slow motion giving zero effs. She knew they were playing and she basically drove right through them to get the gold.

Something else to call out from this past weekend: a strong contingent of mustaches. Something I might need to consider for OP3.
