Then took a job where they didn’t put him on assignment and so he just read and went on city walks. Until 2 weeks later when they said oops and tried to put him on a job and then decided he wanted to quit!

I think it was longer than that because didn’t he go on a two week golf trip with Goodbar??

I don’t remember the specifics, but damn that was a wild story when he shared it on Tourist Sauce lol

Yeah it was over a month, like well over if I remember the story right. Aspirational employment right there.

Time to get the guys to Pfau, then, since I’m sure he played our quite-sad old course during his tenure here.

Is it ok to kind of hate that course? There are many courses that kicked my teeth in and after the round I thought, “Hell ya I’d love another crack at it.” Pfau was not one of them.
What tees did you play?
They have to make their waste areas (unplayable excuse for fescue) playable. So to answer your question, ok to hate the course off the tee and due to a few green surrounds, but otherwise it’s class when not soggy.

I played from a normal distance for me, don’t remember but I believe it was a hybrid. The fescue was essentially OB as you said, and I hated all of the par 3s except the first one (all the others are uphill). I did enjoy playing off Zoysia for the first time, and I hit one of the best shots of my life on 18.
But for Indiana collegiate courses, I enjoyed Ackerman and Warren more. Still haven’t played Kampen.

As the designated (read: only) southern NM guy and someone that drives to Lubbock at least six times a fall, there are huge differences between northern NM, southern NM/El Paso, and West Texas.

We played the towns of Levelland, Shallowater, and Brownfield in sports while I was in high school. Some real evocative names we have out in the South Plains.

I’ve always thought Floydada was fun to say

It is a fun one to say. Texas Tech was almost placed in Floydada, fun fact. Lubbock beat Floydada, Sweetwater, and Plainview (should’ve added that to the original list of good town names).

Ha. My wife’s company has their Midland office across the street from Green Tree.
Wife lived in first or second house on GT in high school. @Snellspace is correct in his description of the course.

Floydada used to have a pretty sweet nine hole course that was well cared for. No idea what it looks like today, but it would definitely would have made a good strapped course “back in the day”.

Yes it meanders through a canyon right?
Yeah, it does. I only played it once or twice but I thought it was so nice compared to other courses I had played back then.
