The Summit of Mt. Prospect (6/8/24)

Can we agree on

all OB is played as lateral (if a ball is ob you can’t play it)

Lost ball is played at nearest point defined by group not a retee for pace reasons

Hazard on right of 3 is an environmental area(no penalty but are not allowed to look)

Any additional rules we need to discuss?

Automatic provisionals allowed off #5 tee. Almost every time I’ve played that hole, I’ve gone long left of the dogleg and at least half the time can’t find it.

We’re never gonna qualify for OWGR points if we just keep making up our own rules.

Don’t hit it there.

You’re always allowed to take a provisional if you think your ball might be lost.

Far left (and right) on 4 is same. S/O @Mr.Sunday for venturing over there earlier this week for us to realize this. White stake with green cap = free drop. But agree, just drop nearest where it crossed and keep moving.

Same as left on #11.

Left of 9, outside the fence, should be playable.

Unfortunately unplayable per park district ordinance. That’s OB. It hasn’t been white staked in a while though.

For the group that hasn’t played the course before. Can anyone provide a little feedback on the course to speed up play like what is ob, lateral, free drops, etc.

They have pretty clear descriptions of the native areas on the scorecard, so I would say be sure to grab one even if you don’t use it for official score. I only found a new one this week because of a dead pull about 100 yards left of the green. So my advice would be to not do that.

Stop and go traffic for the first 20 miles of this drive from MN is not the way I want to start this trip. Regardless I am pumped!

For those that aren’t on the Discord, @kmcswain aced 7 yesterday. He then proceeded to buy everyone a Miller Lite like a true gentleman.

Hey @Privatecollection - our guy @Setwilli won an NIT spot yesterday at our event! I can’t find a registration link so would it be possible for you to give him that info? Thanks in advance!

Big shoutout to @EConroy419 for coordinating a day I won’t soon forget. Without his work I would have made an ace with two strangers and @McDuffin. Thanks to his efforts, this stupid podcast, and $90 I got to share with usernames we’ve all seen. It was a freaking awesome day. I hope everyone got at least one drink on my tab. I know there’s debate about buying drinks when you ace one, but I was more than happy to pay that tab. Can’t wait for the next event!
