I’d also like to give special thanks to the liquor store next to Albertsons for blessing me this afternoon.
Obviously don’t get this on the East Coast

Excellent grabs, couple of all-time classics. I used to be an east coaster and stumbled across my first Pliny in a strip mall liquor store called El Jebeverage on the way to Aspen. The distro out here is super random.

Iration coming to Grand Junction Saturday October 21st at the Mesa Theater
Would invite anyone interested in a western slope weekend to head on over.
I’d love to show any/all refugees my home course Battlement Mesa (about 45 minutes east of GJ) Saturday mid-morning - then head to Fidel’s in Palisade for tacos before checking into a hotel/Airbnb to shower and head to the show. Then Sunday golf in GJ (Redlands Mesa) or Delta (Devil’s Thumb - a real diamond in the rough gem of the western slope).
Details can be worked out - but wanted to get it on the radar for a possible fall adventure.

I do see that they’re at the Ogden the next night for the Denver crowd… still anyone should come west and play golf anytime!

I’ve heard good things about Devil’s Thumb. And of course Redlands Mesa is a Jim Engh gem.

Redlands Mesa might be Jim Engh’s worst course now that houses line every hole. Highly overrated and insanely overpriced at the rack rate. Repetitive hit from elevated tee to fairway between houses over and over. Battlement Mesa and Devil’s Thumb are both much better designs and Lakota Links is a much better Engh course on the western slope now that the new owners have it in better shape

Your description of Redlands applies to Lakota, too - just the front nine has no houses but it’s 8 elevated tee shots to half pipe fairways and bowled greens 
Lakota is a dramatically better design and cheaper

Gonna be heading west to visit my hitter @ryanw849 in a few weeks for the IP Day long weekend.
Anyone have recs for courses or want to get in on a game in/around Summit County?
if @ryanw849 doesn’t take you to Breckenridge & Keystone Ranch for a 36 day, he will be getting a stern talking to

Hey Coloradans, heading your way today. I’ll be in the Springs from today to Wednesday morning. Probably won’t be able to get a round in, but would love to grab a beer if anyone is free.
Found myself unexpectedly in Denver today and tomorrow. Staying downtown for work - any lunch spot recommendations and/or a coffee shop to work from?
A sneaky good lunch spot is Tavernetta near union station. One of the tougher dinner reservations to get, they do a 2-course lunch deal that doesnt break the bank and has easy walk in seating.

Second Tavernetta for lunch. Also recommend The Wild, Kaffe Landskap, and Mercantile Dining & Provision.

so I’m headed out to CO (Evergreen specifically) for family thanksgiving and I think we’ll be out there early/long enough to sneak a round in with my BIL and sister.
We played fossil trace a bunch of years ago and I assume we’ll end up booking there, but before I do, any other recommendations around evergreen/golden area that are great? Extra points if they’ve got reasonable rentals…I’m on the fence about just renting two sets vs dragging our clubs out there for an round
