Supper / City Battle - Shepherd's Crook (Zion, IL) Updates around post 575 or something

And depending on the direction, either 7 or 12 would also be doable.

We do not, but I did move @McDuffin up to KJ’s spot since he requested an early time some time ago.

This leaves the dilemma i was hoping to avoid, 29 players which leaves a single in the last group. @FlyingWasp checking to see if we can have the last 4some become a 5 some.

Ok, so we did get approval to have a 5 some, but have to bury them in the middle of the pack. @FlyingWasp you’re moved up to the 1040 tee time and that group will have 5 players.

Since we have an odd # of players, @FlyingWasp has a few choices for player/scoring options that i can think of. If someone has an easier way to include a ghost player, please let me know.

A. Someone in the 1040 group get the lucky advantage of playing on 2 scorecards (easiest)

B. @FlyingWasp plays (3) 6 hole sets with 3 different players in the 1040 group to make up a ghost player (HDCP determined by averaging the 3 players course caps)

Is Jeff Knox not available?

Unfortunately his SW flight direct to Waukegan National Airport was cancelled.

Weather man Larry Sprinkle here with a quick weather update. Looking like were gonna have temperatures in the low to mid 50’s during most of our round getting a little warmer in the afternoon. Partly cloudy but assuming the beautiful sun will peak through to shine light on our wonderful rounds of golf. Sustained winds between 12-18 mph will provide some fun (or not fun) golf shots.

Let’s go launch 'em.

Much better than last weekend at The Arboretum Club with @treeputttim when this actually happened to me…

We got dumped on at Chevy Chase a couple weeks ago. Lack of local course knowledge cost us. That was a fun walk back. My car smelled like a swamp for a week. But dammit, I made that birdie putt right after the horn went off.

It rained for more than half our round. The steady annoying rain. I would have preferred it just poured on us for a little bit than a steady rain for an hour and a half.

Sounds like Sweater Weather. Live look at our group photo after the round:

I’m thinking option A…yet if me and “ghost player” win, I do get to take down the whole pot.

Sounds good. Yeah option B was a little tough even for the local history teacher to solve.

That’s a 7 hour drive. You have no excuses.

I’ve got a flight with them at the end of the month and this had me worried.

Best of luck

Note for the new-to-the-crook players, there is no range at the course. However the course right over the border (big jokes) does have a choppy range complete with mid 90s stratas and noodles if you need a warmup.

Now that I’m home…….that unforeseen circumstance was a classic case of spontaneous pneumothorax (collapsed lung) and was in the hospital most of the week.

Would not recommend!

Please swing wildly for me this weekend.
