Early morning tee time with @TSJ for round 1. I gave him 1 stroke which he did not need as I showed up with my 39 (going on 59) body and had some thoracic back spasms I was battling.

I was able to bring the match back to AS by the 12th tee but then Tommy went birdie-birdie and I just had no chance after that. Tommy won 3&2.

Great walk on a humid morning with Tommy and only wish I could have pushed him a bit more today.

It was a really fun day. Thanks again for getting me out! My legs are toast.

IMBOBBELL and I also had our match this morning.

Spent the first 14 holes sparring but no one getting too far ahead. I ended up 1up thru 14 and out of my 5 pops, which was concerning.

We both proceeded to play the next 4 holes even, trading pure shots and recoveries back and forth including dropping two dimes within 25ft on the Redan playing 195 today. We tied 14-18 ending with a nervy 4 footer that closed out the match for me 1up.

Great morning.

@Kolby got me 5&4 today. I didn’t play well but he torched the front. I battled early on the back to avoid a massive embarrassment, but he had everything working from the jump. A well deserved win. He’s also a good hang, so hopefully we can get a couple others for a round soon.

@FairwayHank and I played our match tonight at Pebble Lake in Fergus Falls. Nice course I haven’t been too in 20 plus years and we had great company.

I was able to advance 5&4.

We gotta stop giving all these Stoneridge guys home games - they get to set the course up how they want and its disgusting

Don’t let former members @billy_baroo or @bobs219 ever fool you. They were once members and know the place.

Pretty sure my cost per round this year will be over $100 and my guests pay $70-75+ tax. We are such bad guys especially when all I hear about these muni courses is how hard it is to get a tee time.

Hahahaha @Billy_Baroo requested it. Not sure what you mean by “set the course up”. I’m not out there with the greenskeeper setting pins or rolling greens.

When you state it plainly like that it kinda makes me think you are…

Can confirm that @TommyBuns and @charvey bribe the super to set comfy pin locations
