On 12 tee last year after hitting blocks and slices all morning, @Ballgame told me to hit a draw. I asked which remaining hole should I try that.

Was so cool today watching the Lydia Ko navigate the road hole almost exactly like she would have to at MP.

They are hosting Digest people to get some PR build going for renovation of the year. Only about 15 local folks from what I understand. It might also include Andy Johnson.
It’s likely cause you know Potts?
Roger Steele is hosting a group. He joined a few months back.
anyway, it’s going to be a proper steam shower out there. Hope you enjoy. Interested in your feedback. I’ve only played it 4-5 times. Work travel sucks.

Adding “Stand on Medinah Road to hopefully see Roger Steel play 16 so I can thank him for everything he does online” on my list of things to do tonight
I’ll also listen for the distinct sound of a Wilson Covert Driver in case @wseitz26 is nearby

It was a mix of Potts, Andy, another guy I played with named Aaron, though I didn’t get his last name. Also played with John Cashman. Should have had Fito get me another Jason Cheney. I’ll make sure to put one on your tab when I’m back there on the 11th.
2006 US Open champ was there too.
Didn’t realize that wine glass was in the way when I snuck the pic.
#3 is really good and will be super fun for members. Tons of width and playability, but still really challenging

What’s this Covert bullshit? I’m a Triton DVD man through and through!

I’m heading to the Pearl Jam show at Wrigley on Thursday (8/29) and ended up with an extra as of now. Anyone looking for one?
Downside is you’d be sitting with me and my college friends. Face value was $160, but the secondary market has somehow tanked so I’m pretty flexible if someone wants to go.
Thanks!

Hey gang,
Long time NLU junkie, 1st time Refuge/Nest member but better to join community late than never right? Briefly met Tron this weekend at the BMW Championship and my level of excitement made me question why I am not supporting the program, so here I am. Not sure if intros are commonplace but let’s give it a shot.
27 years old living in Lakeshore East and a full-blown golf addict in every sense of the word. Play weekly, member of 5irons, travel the country to hit the bucket list type player. Outside of playing, I am a romanticizer of the history, literature, design, etc. I am steadily growing my book collection of Mackenzie journals, old Doak limited prints, etc.
My brother and I were both Evans Scholars, and are deeply involved in the WGA and Evans Scholarship Foundation to support caddies with financial hardship. We (both engineers) also started our own golf course engineering and architecture company based in Colorado where he currently lives, which is finally getting some momentum.
All that to say, golf is truly part of who I am, and I don’t think there is anyone/any content I can relate to more than the NLU gang. Excited to join a community of like-minded fellas, talk shop, and get some meetups going!

Pretty sure MP is in one of those Mackenzie journals or Doak prints. I’m sure we could read up on it.

Any thoughts on Park Hills in Freeport? East or West course?
