Roll Call: KC Area

There’s a WW2 museum that is pretty great. I’m not a huge history buff but went with a coworker who had to stop. I found it very interesting and worthwhile personally.

HOW DARE YOU!

All jokes aside - youll find pretty divided opinions here OP.

Slaps in KCK might be the best bbq in town.

Honorable mention(s) to Jack Stack (and the crown prime beef rib especially), rjs bob b que in Mission and BBs Lawnside in KC Mo.

The Antler Room - Farina - Garazzos - Grunauer all great spots as well.

Ill forever stan Peanut Wings for a divier vibe.

Boulevard / Torn Label / Strange Days / KC Bier Company all great breweries.

Steamboat Arabia - Union Station - Nelson Atkins all solid attractions as well.

The Green Room for Jazz

Swordfish Toms - intimate cocktails

Goat And Rabbit - cocktails

J rieger and ben Holladay (kansas city adjacent) are solid distilleries.

Damnit, I knew I should have googled it first. @ahrensgody regrets the error.

My highest recommendation

The Green Room is a brewery/burger place in Westport. The Green Lady is the jazz club in the Crossroads. Going to one when expecting the other may lead to a bad time. That correction aside, all of the above recs are pretty solid.

That is a fantastic call. Although the Green Room is fine, the Green LADY get’s my highest recommendation.

If you find yourself in the Weston area at the distillery, head in to town and go to the Whiskey Snug.

Regrets the error - angry toddlers require quick - non edited posts!

I did indeed mean the lady **

The green room was always tremendously blasé.

O’Malley’s is another spot in Weston that is fun. It has an underground bar that is old as shit.

I see some familiar names on the CLG Mid Am leaderboard. How’s it going out there @sundaybag and others? Wondering how quick the LCC crew have the greens rolling this week.

Let’s just say you don’t want to be above the hole. Quick but fair.

That was some of the most challenging golf I’ve played. Windy, firm greens, very fast greens. Was fun being out there and seeing some familiar faces!

Would love others thoughts on the conditties.

That course had teeth man. Throw the wind into the equation today and it was a true test. Major props on the 72 today.

Also, I’m all in on the course as a whole. It makes for a really fun loop. I’ve heard varying opinions on that one though. Curious about people’s thoughts on the design.

Shouts to the guy who shot the 210 over two days. I would have WD after I posted the 101.

I really enjoy the courses that are fun/interesting but don’t beat you up tee to green but have very challenging greens and green surrounds. I feel like LCC is exactly that. I do think the houses/OB lines are too close to greens and fairways and 16/18 are questionable holes. Those are my only gripes though. It’s a very good course that challenges the right things for good players.

100% agree. I played on Sunday with a buddy that was in the event and we were really surprised by how close OB was on several holes. Also 7/8 might be one of the harder 2 hole stretches I can recall anywhere. Overall really fun course and it would be a joy to be a member at. (also 16 is really funky but I have more of a gripe with 14. And 18 is fine as long as you know you have to hit it 20 yards right of the fairway in order to hit said fairway)

18 definitely questionable. 16 is pretty fair once you figure it out. You can push it way down there but it narrows up, or you can lay back and it’s literally the widest fairway out there.

Curious to know what the gripe is with 14.

As far as the OB lines and stuff, i mean, the course was pretty much outside of town until the 70s and urban sprawl encroached on it. :man_shrugging:t3:

16 is def fair. Its just a wildly tough hole with a 20mph cross wind. Was the only hole all tournament where both of the groups I was in let out a big sigh when we got to the tee. Its just super hard and no one really knows what the best way to play it is.

Add the swirling wind down there in that bowl which makes judging distance significantly more challenging than it is already. The fountain splash was going every which direction yesterday. Definitely rinsed my approach after the vacuum grabbed the ball. Then if you decide to power through it, the chip from up on top of the green will give you nightmares.
