Roll Call: Austin/San Antonio

But it’s still BYOD (bring your own drugs)

Mo Willy greens are cursed! There is no other answer. They get lost every year, at multiple times, and no other GolfATX course has this issue. (Hancock excepted, because, come on.) (I understand it is likely there is some weird soil/grass thing.) (I wish the Bluebonnet super took his talents to Mo Willy, that would have been cool.)

And the beers are like $3, which seems cheap compared to the average beer in this town. Which is sad. Beer inflation is real!

Beer inflation is real!

This is why I switched to liquor, too much bloating with the suds

Played Lions today and it was in as good condition as I’ve ever seen.

Hey everyone! New to the group. I live in north Austin and tend to play the courses up this way, but branch out from time to time. I usually get out as a single, but hoping to find some new folks to play with.

I’ve dabbled in the Refuge in the past, but trying to be more active these days. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Welcome @justchris

Here’s the WhatsApp link. Jump in there and you’ll find a game in no time.

Awesome. Thanks guys!

Played Star Ranch this weekend and she purdy. The greens were in excellent condition but awfully slow. They’ve achieved this odd combination of firmness and slowness that had me questioning the sharpness of my pitch mark tool. It was also refreshing to not chip off dormant bermuda.

Nice! I’ve always liked Star Ranch. I don’t get out there too often for whatever reason, but it’s always a pretty good time. Usually in decent shape, never had an issue with the pace, etc. Just an all around good walk from my experience. If nothing else, I want to get out there soon to see what’s up with these greens haha.

Does anyone know a club builder in the area? I attempted to glue a set of MP-32s. Long story short, it’s really embarrassing to ask everyone to hold so you can scrape your 7-iron head off the driving range.

We have a pretty strong Whatsapp group for Austin / San Antonio. Great place to get involved with local golf chat and find groups to play with.

Amazing, thank you. I too am in South Austin. Still waiting on new ferrules and grips to arrive but I’ll message you once I’ve gathered everything.

I almost don’t even recognize it. Amazing.
