DC’s is the cleanest, NYC is the best, which is damning of the whole country. DC’s is probably a touch better than Chicago (larger ridership and cleaner) but the Metra and bus system more than makes up for the difference.

But it’s not just public transit, street design, density, green space, pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, and mostly, the lack of cars is really eye opening. It’s quiet, safe, and low stress to get around the cities. Don’t get me wrong, Chicago is way better designed than most American cities, only NYC and Boston can also claim best designed cities in the US imo. It’s a big reason why I live here. But fuuuuuuck do we suck compared to Europe (no disrespect to east Asian megalopolises, just haven’t been).

He’s gettable there. We both made mistakes.

If I get drawn against him again I want the rematch there.
It was a good match. Had to play 18 three times to decide it.

18’s a good hole to play three times though.

Might be looking to play Tuesday at Shepard’s or Thunderhawk if anyone is up this way.

Or Spring Valley.

Real question.
Do you actually like Thunderhawk as a golf course?
I mean, it’s beautiful, but I swear every time I play there I come out wondering why I played there
There are some bad holes out there I think.

Nope. But I haven’t played in a couple years. Would play The Crook 9/10 times.

I have interest.

I like Thawk once a year. It’s challenging, pretty, but agree there’s some weird holes. Whatever they’re asking peak season is also too much compared to SC however.

Keep thinking about giving Thunderhawk a shot but then always decide on Brae Loch or Countryside for Lake County Preserve Golf. Is it that drastically different?

Yes, for sure.
It’s an amazing property. Forest preserve and Audubon society keep really pretty.

Just a few holes that are not fun at all for me.

Prayers for @EConroy419, @Pinehurts and myself today as we are about to tee off at Schaumburg in these tornadic winds.
