I just posted this is the Roll Call: Iowa, but thought quite a few of you in here would enjoy as well.
Favorite line of the video at 19:34 : “The reason we did this, after we golfed in 1969, at the end of the day we were out in the parking lot, about half tanked, and somebody said we should do this again. 50 years later, we are doing it again.”
I didn’t think Southern Hills had any “great” holes, but it was a very nice course for $34.
So much this. Played it the first time about a month ago. I thought the front was hard but fun, but the back was a punch in the teeth. A 248-yard par 3 dead into a 15 mph wind? I enjoyed coming up short with my driver.
3 (short par 4) and 15 (short par 3) are pretty damn good IMO.
Perfect. Thanks for the feedback guise
Guise,
The Gustavus Golf team is run by a man I met his first day on campus over 30 years ago: Scott Moe. I have jumped in to help out w/ the auction this year. Some real stunners, including a year-long membership to Dormie Club, rounds at WBYC, Somerset, MN Valley and Shoal creek to name a few.
Also a No Laying Up gift card in there!
Here’s the link. Sign up and bid away.
I’ll bid on Shoal Creek if you throw in a visit to @BamaBearcat’s memorabilia room
I mean, I’m winning the Shoal Creek experience. Come at me.
Oops, I may have overextended myself with auction items.
Shoal Creek experience will include a visit to Bear Bryant’s grave and a bbq lunch that you eat on the hood of your rental car.
Please people, bid! I may have a small problem.
Had to get one after @tj_denawli just went Rory on the course with it last Friday.
No, it’s good! Day 3 and 4 it picks up. There are more items being listed tomorrow, mostly clothing.
At a silent auction one year I bid on a season pass to a local course as well as two separate 10 round punch cards to the same course thinking I would only end up winning one of the three auctions.
Ended up winning all three - cool 1,000 bucks.
Ended up selling the punch cards but I was worried for a hot second!
Sorry I missed this. Went dark when COVID started as work became overwhelming. Coming up for air now. Hope everyone is having a good start to the season. Glad to see everyone playing.
Everyone knows the real action in any online auction happens in the last 2 minutes.
Anyone in the Crosslake area want to get an after-work 9 in at Crosswoods this week or next? here through the week after the 4th
Damn, the two weeks I’m not up there…have fun!
