17 is so pure. The whole course is. Glad you enjoyed it. What was the fall rate?
Fall rate. They aerated on wednesday and Thursday unfortunately but nothing could keep my jaw from hitting the floor on those greens. Wow.
40% off everything in the pro shop⦠wife and I did some damage
In the top 5 of best set of greens Iāve played for sure. Maybe top 3.
The list includes:
The Old Course
Pasatiempo
Lake Merced
Cape Arundel
No. 2
Sweetens
Sounds like a great plan. Consider me very intrigued by a covered range with TopTracer. Itās a little unclear if the plan is to make it a Par 3 course or what, but I wouldnāt consider any hole there to be a great loss. Hopefully they keep some of the money they raise as an endowment for course maintenance. It was pretty dire the one time I played there this summer.
Maine Golf summer outing followed by beers at Maine Beer Co? Sign me up. Iām sure weāll have to twist @GaryK8 's arm very hard as well
Btw: Youāre all welcome. Our menās league donates $500 from the annual pot to a local youth golf related endeavor every year, and this year was towards this project. I expect a bay named after me.
Iāll carve your name above the urinal, itās the least I could do
Hey guys, I will be traveling up to Portland a few times over the next few months for work. Any restaurant recommendations to check out while Iām up there? Will be on corporate dime, so not too budget conscious, just focused on where I can get the best meals possible
Scales is my favorite restaurant in the city. My favorite lobster roll is at Lukeās Lobster on the Portland Pier. Places like Eventide and Highroller will be quieter this time of year.
Non-seafood, I absoutely love Sichuan Kitchen and Quiero Cafe. Also really like Taj, Thai Tree and Magissa.
Central Provisions. Fore Street. Honeypaw.
Ramonaās for a proper hoagie.
Adding Duck Fat for lunch⦠Street & Co is always solid dinner.
Dok Mali is my Thai spot. Paper Tiger is good.
Chicken sandwich though⦠Crispy Gaiās Hot Honey Sandwich is chefās kiss
My favorite restaurant in Portland is Isa Bistro. Iād second Scales for seafood, cool location, too.
Jās Oyster has a bit of a āPortland before it became a tourist Meccaā vibe.
Thanks gents, I appreciate it!
Anyone trying to get a late round in? A mid-day round or something. Been wanting to pop over the border to play Hooper but IDK if thatās going to happen
Yes. Iām free next Sat
Hey hope you can make it to western NH! Hooper will be open until next Saturday and give a shout if you do make it - Iām a little biased but the course is in phenomenal shape.
I likely could play - swim lessons cancelled next Sat anywhere youāve got in mind?
Nothing in particular. @GaryK8 any interest?
Rain check for me - moving into new place next weekend.
Congrats man! Hope it goes smooth
Slight update from my social planning coordinator- I have to be in Pelham NH for 2pm Sat lol. Anywhere cool headed that direction, or at least south of me, youād want to play? Iām not too up to date on NH tracks.
