Good God, start hydrating/stretching now.

The guys usually get sick of my, ā€œItā€™s a golf trip. Not a vacation.ā€ on day 3 or 4. :sweat_smile: Trying to take it easy on the back half of this one.

Starting with 36 at EH is whatā€™s insane in the membrane

36 at EH is a HIKE

Wow, weā€™re doing the same trip, just spreading it out a bit.

5-27/28 Erin Hills. Overnight stay gets extras and discount on second round.
5/29 both courses at Lawsonia
5/30-6/1 Sand Valley. Lido, Sandbox, Mammoth Dunes, Sand Valley, Sand Valley, Mammoth Dunes (waiting to replace one of these with Sedge Valley.

Iā€™ve possibly got 2 spots available but I canā€™t accommodate three, sorry.

Might be a bit of an outlier but my feet have never hurt more than walking off Erin Hills.

Having walked a fair share of 36 hole days, I donā€™t know if EH is possibleā€¦

God speed

Since Iā€™m still waiting to hear back from them it sounds like a better plan would be:
Monday - Erin Hills 18
Tuesday - Lawsonia Links and Sandbox
Wednesday - Sand Valley and Mammoth Dunes
Thursday - Eagle Springs and Lac Le Belle
Friday - Erin Hills 18 and the Whitesox game

And if youā€™re really desperate for another 18 that Monday, Washington County Golf Course is close, EH lite, and arguably the best muni in the state (and home of the Wisconsin roost major this summer).

Plus kettle loop if youā€™re staying on prop.

Also LLB morning with cart + EH afternoon + Kettle Loop + Drumlin is a delightful day.

If you can stretch it on the front end, we have a Roost event at Erin Hills on 5/25!

Where are you going to be coming in from? Going from Erin, north to Lawsonia, west to SV, South to Eagle Springs/LLB, and then north again to EH is a little all over the place. You could flip Thu and Friday into a LLB am/Erin Hills pm on Thu and then Eagle Springs Fri am before Sox game

No Kettle Loop on Monday. May just be that Monday, being a holiday. Weā€™re going to play the Kettle Loop on Tuesday after we play our second round.

No kettle loop on Mondays for course maintenance. Itā€™s the only time the course gets a breather.

Have to disagree that 36H at Erin is too much. For goodness sakes, someone carries your bag for you!

If you and your boys are in slightly decent shape, book it.

I didnā€™t say it was too much. I said it was insane in the membrane. Iā€™ve done plenty of things that could be classified as such.

Itā€™s a BIG way to start the trip. Caddies will help. Iā€™d probably wear running shoes or something, too.

I guess the other way of looking at it is that if youā€™re going to do 36 at EH, do it day 1 of your golf trip not later!

A few folks that do that are even active/lurking in here!

Hello Wisconsinites. Going to be in the Milwaukee area Mar 20 for the Zach Bryan concert at Fiserv Forum. Not going to the concert, just taking kid and his friends, so if anyone wants to meet up while that is going on, Iā€™ll be free.

Staying the night, any areas I should avoid for lodging? Havenā€™t done any searching yet, wanted to get an idea of where to look first.

In to meet ya. Can figure out some places as we get closer.

As far as lodging, if youā€™re looking to be close to Fiserv, most stuff downtown is just fine. But if youā€™re looking elsewhere, happy to help there too.
