Definitely a great time! No one I’d rather get my ass kicked by lol. And it was my first competitive round ever so I’m not going to beat myself up about it.

@Kolby and I are playing Mississippi National at 10:30 Saturday for our match if anyone else wants in for their competition, or just to laugh at how I have completely lost my swing.

@DuckDuckGreyDuckHook and I battled demons more often than each other out at Keller this afternoon. I was up by 4 at one point and Jordan put on the rally cap and went on a par streak to tie it up on 16, and then he went 1 up after 17. We ended up tying the match. After a lengthy debate about gimmes, grounding of clubs/improving lies in traps, and severe financial infractions the match ended up going to me.

@DuckDuckGreyDuckHook was a pleasure to play a round with. Hope we can get out again soon.

@Obrienchauncey1 beat me 2&1 today at Highland National. It will kill @BaxterMSP to hear me say this, (and I hate to disappoint my dear friend) but we did have a great time with @TSJ along for the round. Lifetime MN match play record now moves to 1-3. There’s work to do be done before next year!

I feel like you’re confusing my disdain for Les Bolstad and all things U of M (with the exception of a former wrestling All-American) for Highland National. I’m actually a fan of Highland as a nice municipal golf option in the metro, except for that cheesy ass Snoopy bunker.

Now, if we want to get a discussion going about how Les Bolstad would actually be improved by turning that whole course into a parking lot I’m all ears…

Weren’t you the one who was sick of people saying they had fun playing their opponent, they were a good person, etc. last year? I know you hate Les, and I know you hate almost all things U of M buddy! I think that’s why I like you so much!

Ah, you’re correct. Shit talking an opponent seems to be a lost art in the greater MN area. We’ll tee it up soon so I can remind you how it’s done
