The Highlander - 9/16-9/18 @ Northland CC Duluth MN (Pairings out today? Maybe?)

2 tee to 11 tee is about 300 feet of elevation change per your numbers. Wild.

So… I guess i’ll out how nerdy I am, I built NCC in my Sim software and played NCC in rough shape (no trees, no bunkers, no hazards of any kind) since as i’ve mentioned, been busy with work. I built a couple fun versions of the course where you played from 11 tee down to 17 green. Personal best score was 9, it’s about 1300 yards or something but with 100 yds of drop.

How accurate do we think @Tkotts is being with this chart?

Is he playing 4d chess with us and boosting all the numbers to throw the rest of us off?

Was actually gonna ask if you’d sim’d the course yet?!

Accurate to within 1 meter per NOAA’s heightmaps I got pulled for me.

This was my immediate thought. I’m hitting Driver anywhere it says less than

I’ll be doing a Dr Phil if those pairings actually end up being posted tonight

Does anyone have an open spot Thursday for a practice round? My schedule just came into focus and am happy to report that I’ll be able to get up there sometime Thursday. Pretty flexible on time!

Yea we should have a spot open at 12:50

Pairings will be out tomorrow. Sorry for the false start - had some last minute tweaks on the club’s end.

Count me in at 12:50! Thanks. I can call the club tomorrow and get myself added to the tee sheet.

I may have sniped that spot that was open @ 12:50 yesterday @EagleE

I guess there’s only one way to find out. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll call the pro shop tomorrow morning.

I played NCC Thurs thru Sunday and yes indeed it is playing fast, very fast in spots. Greens are fabulous. Even if they get some rain this week it won’t have much effect on the firmness as it is very dry up there. If you get downwind (and it blew for a while Saturday) 140 plays like 80 on 13 as it goes and goes. No 1 you can run it 40 yards no issues. Oh, and just so you get the idea, I four putted from 20 feet uphill on 11. Ran it 3 feet past (idiot), caught the lip and went 30 feet away, and two putted for my 7. Some places you just can’t be past the hole! Enjoy. You will find that the bartenders Emi and Odie are top notch!

@EagleE, I got a last minute reprieve from work Thursday afternoon. I’ll be calling the clubhouse today too to see if I can get a tee time set up. Let me know if you get a time.

@T-Nasty, I just called the proshop and left a VM. Will give them a chance to get back to me. If not, I’ll call try them again later this morning. Let me know what you find out; I don’t have a confirmed tee time as of yet.

Someone beat you on 11 on Sunday. Took one gentleman 5 putts to hole out, and his quote after telling me was ā€œI felt like I hit 5 good puttsā€

@T-Nasty @Tkotts - the pro shop was able to add me as a 5th to the 12:50 tee time but also said the 12:30 & 12:40 slots are still wide open if we don’t want to play as that big of a group… although I’m always in favor of 5-6somes! See you fellas in a couple days

I’m happy to move back and play as a two-some or three some so that @BaxterMSP can have time to shower prior to the reception.

Everyone thanks you in advance
