Went in the arena.
I call dibs on ball spritzer
Which one are you playing in? I’m at Harborside next week, maybe I’ll see you there.
Ooh, umbrella/shade on ball guy here.
I wanted harborside but didn’t reg in time and got Kankakee elks
It was a grind. Proud of no doubles. Just made life too hard on myself all day. 4 3 putts because I couldn’t lag anything inside 5 feet. Deeper dive coming later as I sit in the body shop…first take from evaluation “oh man, that’s 10K easy” t’s and p’s for ya boy
In the body shop? Dang, you must have had a day
NLU Film Room style debrief video to come?
Live reps!
I got lucky to go off late and miss the really terrible rain that hit the early groups. But it prevented me from getting there early enough to hit balls which showed early on. Started on 10. Couldn’t square it up early on but was E after 3. A piped drive, fanned 5i 35 yards right of target, shanked wedge then a massively chunked hybrid had me to +3. Took way too much club and almost went OB long but recovered to tap in range. Thinned a wedge that skipped off the hill in front of me and ended up 35’ from the hole and escaped with par. The next 9 were a stripe show in. Had birdie looks everywhere. 2 putt birdie on 2. Made a pair of 15-20’ footers on 5 & 6. 5 especially played brutally long. Tugged drive into trees on 8 and a crappy bounce on 9 led to closing bogeys and a yo-yo 74. Great speed all day and 3 lengthy putts were enough to save me from 9 holes of poor ball striking. Not sure if I got away with one or left a lot out on the course. Maybe I’ll take a proper warmup one of these days?
The best part of the day was catching up with @TheAbeFroman at the bar afterwards.
Anyone have any intel on the Merit Club?
Their roads have 6” of asphalt and their cart paths are paved at 3”.
That’s intel, right?

Hope you all enjoyed, thanks for giving me something to do at work on a Tuesday!
I can get you out if they’re being assholes about practice rounds.
Congrats on advancing! And on playing well in such shit weather.
Yes, might even have a yardage book. Dad was a member for 15 years.
God, this place rules.
Also, I got invited to play the super high-am at some place called Chicago golf club. Anyone know if I can get a practice round there?
Anyone want to play some early golf tomorrow with the breakfast boys? I’m in the third wave.
