Confluence in the wild
Weāre down a man due to a global pandemic, if that lower body feels up to itā¦.
Otherwise, we got a fourth out there who wants to experience pre-Nicklaus Normandie again?
Iāll spare you the details, but weāre in rough shape over here. Have to pass.
Had a fantastic time smacking around Mr. Playerās Tapawingo with @PhilsSignedGlove on a beautiful Saturday AM. Played Woodlands/Prairie. Woodlands was a blast but definitely the harder side, pretty tight with tons of elevation change. Gorgeous par 3s on that side. Prairie was flatter and more wide open, plus I remembered to how to hit an iron on that side, which was nice. Final counts: 4 Bud Selects, 3 three putt bogies, 2 doubles, and 1 birdie on the 9th at Prairie to close out my day.
How was the wind on Prairie? Iāve played it twice and both times we had 10-15 MPH winds and I really enjoyed it with the wind up - fun challenge.
Definitely more noticeable than on Woodlands, but it was a pretty still morning out there. Maybe 5-10mph max. I can see how that nine could get tricky in a hurry with quick greens and some wind.
Played Tanglewood today and the rough was THICCCCC and they had the pins right next to a lot of the spines that run through the greens. What Iām saying is itās looking prime for me and @Nickygifts to RUN IT BACK.
Got a 7:40 tee time tomorrow at forest park if anyone wants to join
How do I get the confluence badge?
I think I have an extra one in the trunk of my car
I have off this next Monday the 20th, anyone down to play?
I might could swing that. Can you arrange for the temperature to drop?
Anybody interest in playing an afternoon/twilight round at Gateway Saturday?
Canāt do Saturday, anything for earrrly Sunday?
Normandie
What? You donāt want another crack at ole norm?
Been out of the loop on Norm. Is there a pending shutdown for the Nicklausification of our peopleās course?
I believe November is when the will shut it down
I can also do early Sunday if you guys make it out and need another
