Following up on this, the rain did hold off! The greens at Grandover (East) might have been some of the best I’ve ever played in my life. I don’t think there was a single pitch mark/imperfection on any of them. The course had some fun holes, but also a lot that made it very very difficult to hit driver. I very much enjoyed the round though. As for the wrestling tournament we had one kid get 2nd and one get 4th. It’s such a tough tournament.
Glad you enjoyed it. Grandover is not a favorite with the locals but they aren’t bad course. There are just better tacks for cheaper nearby.
understatement of a lifetime
generally in VA those kids are state champions as we have 6 classes
Yeah I know that. We have 3 here in Minnesota and sometimes I think thats too much. Our kid who got 2nd is ranked 4th in the country and is going to Stanford next year. The kid who got 4th is ranked 14th in the country but hasn’t committed anywhere yet. Feels like he might have made himself a lot of scholarship money this weekend because we had a lot of college coaches asking about him.
Just being there is a big deal. Big deal for sure.
I can absolutely see 6 classes if you are going to have a team state title based on duels. The way it is now, and my kid benefitted from it it for sure, if you are over .500 for the year making the state tourney is very real.
Greens are rolling and the pace of play is great!
A few of us from DC/Baltimore are heading down to Myrtle Beach late next week. Two of us (@sjdowne and myself) are driving down, so we’re playing Wilmington Municipal on the way, on Wednesday afternoon (11/1) at 1:54 pm. I grabbed all four spots. Are there any locals in here that would like to join us?
Anyone in WNC a member or have an in at Waynesville GC? My girlfriend and I are currently living in Maggie Valley until December. I’ve played most surrounding courses, but I stopped by Waynesville GC today out of curiosity and it looks like a must play. Also always up to join a round in the WNC area! Thanks.
I believe you can stay at the hotel and play for around $125. Would be a nice staycation for you!
I might be able to join ya…Will have to confirm though and get back to you later.
In the mean time @JoeCostello @AirMailWedges @deez_nauts are some locals that could potentially fill a spot.
s/o @Fluff
Ok, I gotta ask. What did I do to @Fluff?!? Feels like I may have said something that he has been strongly against in the past and you all keep tagging him!! I would never want to upset someone who respects the game so highly!
Bumping this one more time. Are you interested in joining @JNorwoodFive?
Wish I could but cant get my work schedule changed. Hopefully the weather cooperates and enjoy the heck out of Muni!
He used to work at Grandover and does not have the highest opinion of it or its golf courses.
Understood! I rescind any and all praise directed at Grandover. Place is a dump. @Fluff
Never assume @Fluff 's opinion is correct and yours is incorrect. Fluff definitely has bad takes on golf courses and Grandover could be one of them. If you liked it, you liked it.
Haha no I know. I’m just having fun with Fluff. The guy drove out of his way to come have beers with me in Napa this summer! I did think the greens were awesome. The rest of the course was fine. I enjoyed playing it even if it was a bit quirky off the tee for stretches. I also rarely hate anything as well.
