I hear the Peter brothers are tracking for the Sports Psychology and D&I roles.
Sharing this with neighboring states. Early workings of a meet up in Des Moines next year focused on the original strapped season courses and the Iowa State Fair.
Omaha Trap Draw then Omaha Strapped. Make it happen.
So cool to see Indian Creek getting deserved love on Golf Channel.
- āThick rough⦠firm fast greens⦠this place is amazing conditions. I couldnāt think of a better venue to host the season finale.ā
- āFor a public course, I have never seen anything remotely close to as good as these greens.ā
- āGet this, you can place this place on the weekends for $66 with cart! That is crazy!ā
- āAnd they have 27 holes here!ā
I am an admitted homer about this place, so Iām happy to see others appreciate it. Iām spoiled it is a two-minute drive from my house.
@huskerkyle @shonseymp @jefranks30 and I are getting our teeth kicked in from the KFT tees Monday morning!
Our IC love runs deep! Only bad thing about it is I lose access to the best public practice facility thatās maybe a mile from me during this week.
Iām gonna get us some Sunday pin sheets and weāre getting deep in the process on Monday
Iāve been at Stone Creek this week. I hadnāt been there in two years; holy cow, the new clubhouse is sick and the range is quality! (Putting/chipping greens leave a little to be desired)
Range is massive but its just fine. Yeah new clubhouse is very good.
As someone who has never played Indian Creek even though itās literally 5 minutes from my house, I am deeply jealous you guys get to play the KFT tees (which would absolutely eject me from the course) on Monday
What are you waiting for?!
Partly playing most of my golf in Blair at River Wilds because my buddy works out there and went to school with the pro and they rarely make me pay.
The other part is being slightly intimidated by it being not the best golfer.
One of the best parts of Indian is their variety of teeās. They have enough that you can play from a yardage youāre comfortable at, and the course kind of opens up for you there. Obviously still some good rough, greens on the firmer side, and other hazards. But it isnāt like youāre being forced to choose between 7500 KFT or 6200 senior tees
The more I play out there, the more I appreciate it. Played last Tuesday subbing for a league - firm, fast, thick rough. It was great. They really know what they are doing. Glad to have a KFT event in Omaha at a course you can actually go out and play any day of the week.
New here.
Going to Prairie Club in Valentine. Tuesday-Thursday 8/17-8/19. Has anyone played there? I know itās short notice but anyone is welcome to join me!
Caught the last hour of KFT on DVR. Kevin Dougherty finished T9 to bump himself to 74th (top 75 make KFT finals). In post-round interview he said it gave him a ton of confidence to play well in such difficult conditions⦠āIāve played in a US Open and the conditions werenāt as hard as this.ā It wasnāt even windy this week! A bit skeptical I had to look that up - his US Open appearance was at Erin Hills so maybe heās right?
I canāt believe how tame the KFT pins were compared to the Greater Omaha Golf Championshipā¦
Pretty cool to play KFT Sunday tees and pins with an official card. 9 and 18 are absolute BEASTS uphill into a south wind. I think I hit 6, 5, 5, 6i into the par threes. Monday QMany beat Sunday Austin Smotherman by 1 and Sunday Andrew Novak by 4. Stakes were essentially the same, $1 Umbriago and a PGA Tour card.
As always, Indian Creek is just awesome!
Well⦠@jefranks30, @huskerkyle, @shonseymp
Fun to watch @QMany battle. Drive it like a doofus all day and played defense for an 80. Rough was a bit thicker and greens a bit firmer than normal, but I was surprised how close the conditions were to normal.
Played like a dog for the first 5 holes, laughably bad. Somewhat turned it around, but I donāt quite have the firepower to play some of those tees, especially 9, that hole is just insane from the KFT tees
Super random question. Anyone have a tailor they really like in Omaha? Looking to get some pants brought up and tapered a little.
