We actually went down into the fraidy hole last night, wild stuff. Too close for comfort.

Failed to take a single photo, but it was fun to see @jsmoove and @Smith16 battle it out at Twin on Saturday! Turns out, being able to regularly drive it 300+ like @Smith16 from the member tees makes life fairly easy!

@smith16 beat me like the red-headed step child I am. A ton of fun getting out to play Twin Hills. Super impressed with the course and thought the layout and conditties were fantastic, other than it being borderline frigid.

again, @timshel thanks for setting that up for us.

Update: I was not included in the commission. Apparently I do not check the boxes of golf journalists, collegiate champions, or course superintendents - I will be making no further comment at this time.

(congrats to @golfsoupjones though - key addition to this initiative, in my opinion)

I’m curious if they’ve considered Swadleys/Foggy Bottom Gill for a flagship sponsorship

If the golf trail doesn’t include vouchers to get on private courses I’ll riot. The state should be using its tax dollars to enrich my club and no one will convince me otherwise.

This is going to be in my office building, which means both job and bank account may be at serious risk

Tee times for the March Stroke Play event are 10:00, 10:10, 10:20, and 10:30 at LaFortune. There are a few of you that I DM’d needing your email so I can get your accounts created on Unknown Golf. Once I’ve got everyone registered, I’ll post tee times on here.

I’ve paid for all 16 tee times already so please venmo @supercelloklahoma one of the amounts below:

$58 - walking ($25 entry + $33 green fee)
$73 - riding ($25 entry + $48 green fee/cart fee)

My wife’s baby ā€œsprinkleā€ (apparently the second kid shower is called a sprinkle?) is Mar 11, so I’m on baby duty for kiddo #1 and won’t be able to make it out to LaFortune.

I figured they would want a toddler to liven up the shower, but it turns out that I was mistaken…

Y’all have fun!

Forecast has changed drastically in the past 48 hours for the better so let’s hope it holds!

Do we have any idea if most people will be walking or riding? I figured this group could be pretty split but haven’t played at La Fortune in years so can’t remember how it goes out there

I am planning on walking Saturday.

Same.

@timshel how’s Twin Hills looking for March 12th?

I will be walking on Saturday as well.

It’s looking good! Overseed is holding fairly strong with the warmer weather and moisture. Greens are slightly slower than their mid-winter peak but still fast enough to be fun! Looking forward to having everyone out!

Sounds like we may be a couple weeks premature to get into the clubhouse for any festivities, but we’ll see. Things should be close to wrapping up at least.

(Oh - jk - I had the Perry Maxwell Society event in my head. Will be out of town on the 12th but enjoy if you’ll be there!)
