Definitely using a caddie where available. Will have one at Erin Hills for sure, that place just looks massive.

Planning a mid-Sept trip with my dad and brothers, going to be working from Madison northward and looping around back to Madison (itâs a central meeting point for us to carpool from). Iâd appreciate any input for courses between Lawsonia and down to Milwaukee and then between Milwaukee and Madison that I mightâve missed in my research; that area is kind of a blind spot golf-wise for me. Rough itinerary now is:
Day 1 - Glen Golf Park in Madison and up to Stevens Point CC
Day 2 - all day Lawsonia
Day 3 - Washington County and Brown Deer
Day 4 - Lac La Belle and The Oaks (Cottage Grove)
Appreciate any insight! We thought about squeezing EH in, but it was either that once or LLB, Lawsonia, SPCC and we opted for quantity this trip.

Eagle Springs is the course between Milwaukee and Madison youâre looking for.

(Almost) literally anything but The Oaks. 
Honestly Iâd rather spend 3 hours on the putting course at LLB over playing The Oaks.
University Ridge would be a great substitute too.
Other than that, no notes really solid choices!

Youâd be lucky to play the oaks in 5 hours, I wish I was joking, but Iâve played out there a few times and itâs been 5.5 hours rounds. Truly in the running for worst course in the area
Between Lawsonia and Milwaukee there is a course called Old Hickory in Beaver Dam that is good.
Instead of The Oaks, you could stay in the area of LLB and play Naga-Waukee, Western Lakes, or Ironwood.

Neil dropping a âOne call, thatâs allâ on todayâs podcast was a bit jarring.

@blakehall is right. If youâre willing to drive from LLB to the Oaks just drive a little further and play University Ridge, awesome course.
Also as a side note, LLB and University Ridge are near the top of my ârental carts are really damn niceâ list.

Buuuuuuuuuuumping this here because the weather today screams SIM EVENT. 6 bays reserved at Xgolf Mequon, 3/16, 8-11pm. 2 bays will be an 8 person Ryder Cup against NSU, 4 bays will be whatever the hell we want.

Caveat always being, if we can get to even 4s on both sides, we can kick their ass even harder with more people.

My long and silly message didnât get too much traction in Roll Call Indiana so this will be short and sweet.
