Strapped Season 12: We're so back baby

Turns out I can go with her to their Midland office Holiday party in December (Odessa Marriot Conference Center here I come).

Any chance I can just call Green Tree and get on?

Doubtful but not out of the question.

I was watching the recap pod earlier and @Randy comment about centerline trees reminded me of this…but if they did Lubbock and didn’t play Shadow Hills, then that’s a big miss for the Big Man for center line trees.

That’s a centerline grove

I need to get out to Gaines County based on @Snellspace recommendation. My wife and I have seriously pondered making a road trip from Austin to somewhere up in the panhandle and stopping at random nine hole courses the whole way out there. Anson would get a stop for sure, Gaines county and any others that popped up on our radar.

Stayed there last October, it’s actually a nice hotel.

Why not stop at the home course of yours truly and 197something Master’s champion Charles Coody…Stamford Country Club?

But seriously, fuck Anson, that town should have been bypassed decades ago.

We would be more than happy to let you host us at Stamford country club. Sounds awesome.

From Anson and an aggy…makes me question your choice of friends. That said, if you want to make a drive to West Texas anytime I’m there, I’d be more than happy to house you, feed you, and golf you.

I’ve been campaigning for strapped Indianapolis(adjacent) for a while

The wildest part of this thread is getting reminded of some of these tiny courses I would play when I lived in Munday for four years.

TPC Lake Creek National in Munday is objectively terrible, but it allowed some fun and experimental routings since nobody was on it.

Really wanted West Texas, so i’m excited for this one.

In addition to Indianapolis, here are a few I think would be cool:
Athens GA
Chattanooga TN
Cleveland OH
Alaska
Mobile AL
Little Rock AR

They could honestly do a series on the college (or school) courses in Indiana alone. Pfau, Ackerman, Kampen, and Warren all slap (I still need to play Warren). Additionally, I’ve heard that Trine has a decent course and Culver might be my white whale for the state at this point now that I’ve played Victoria National.

Would love to see them try Portland, ME ( the real Portland ). It’d take some effort but I think they could manage with 800.

Might be my favorite city in America I’ve traveled to. Went and played a little nine holer that was more than adequate.
