Roll Call: KC Area

Having only played it a couple of times, I’m a fan of Iron Horse! Again, sucks that it isn’t a walking-friendly course, but its very cool and a course I’d definitely play.

I agree with the others. It’s my go-to course but by no means is it walkable. They’ve raised their rates a lot the past couple years so I don’t go as often but I think you’ll enjoy yourself.

Side note: I used to be a member there, dropped out to help pay for my wedding, and couldn’t get back in. Super good deal but now you either have to be an existing member or Leawood resident to get first dibs. Last year they were totally sold out and now it will be even harder as non-member, non-residents to secure a spot, if not impossible.

As a pipe dream I wish HOA, (especially the short game area) could become half as nice as this practice place. Good public short game spots are hard to find. Ironhorse has it, but its hard to justify driving that far when HOA is 10 min away even if it is 70% of the product.

As an aside, I played the par 3 course yesterday at HOA and was as about as good a shape as you could expect this time of year, greens were faster than anticipated even with all the unrepaired ball marks.

I second this. Played it Monday afternoon. Little wet in places but was top notch.

As an aside, anyone know why they have closed off the 3 hole loop at HOA for so long? Sucks because my wife loved it while she was learning to play and has wanted to go back for a couple years.

If you really want to enjoy the par 3 at HOA, skip #6.

Greens were in poor shape last time I played there (probably two years ago), so glad to hear you enjoyed it.

I would definitely be interested. I’ve never done Craigslist before so a middle man would be appreciated haha.

Looking for a game tomorrow. Anybody need a fourth?

Sycamore 930.

Of course only now just seeing this.

Fuck. Was up late writing, slept in. Shoulda checked in and gone out with you guys. Next opportunity for me to play is Monday and it’s gonna be ass cold, so I’m SOL sadly. Thanks for keeping it open for me. Until next time.

GPGC Roost goodies going out today… in case you were unawares…

The peeps from our extended areas may be without when it comes to the merch I’ve acquired and accumulated. So with that I offer anyone and everyone in GPGC the following:

A Grab Bag for sale, with $3 going to YOC for every sale. It includes 25 tees, 1 patch, and 1 sticker for $25.



Again anyone can grab one, but I was initially thinking of our friends in Iowa, Nebraska and rural Kansas and Missouri that may not be able to easily attend one of our events this spring, but can still make a small but important impact on our roost and Youth on Course…

If you’d like to grab a bag of these, send me a DM with your Venmo and address and I am shipping these out TODAY BY 3pm EDT.

Cheers!

Yes I do. Started with a twitter account to make fun of an ast pro, by group of guys in a bar.

Is this also where Three Jack National started? What Club? How long has it been going on?

It’s been going on for over 15 years. I was an Ast in KC back then. The guy they made fun of has gone off on them on twitter many times. However, no one knows because they don’t know the guys who started it. But the guys kind of was a d-bag back in the day, and kind of deserved a little bit of it. . What club did the Ast Pro work for? I know they have a list ideas to go from, 3 Jack is just one of them. Camel Toe Tech knowledge and other ones are out there also. They are smart guys and have the backing and support to do what ever they want.
Sorry I have to wait 25 min to reply because I am not a nest member!

Not golf related, but due to the incoming weather my wife and I are cancelling our trip to KC this weekend.

Which means I have 2 tickets for Tom Segura at The Arvest Saturday night (7:00 show) I need to sell.

1st row balcony, aisle seats, SOLD THANK YOU
