Round Tracker 2024

[fknhippie]

Last week of golf for me until after summer, damn rain is keeping me off the course.

The great news is that yesterday I walked the course without leg pain for the first time this summer.

Whacky round. I only hit 4 fairways and 3 greens but fired a 78. My scrambling and putting were sensational.

They're airating our greens today.....oh well, gotta do it.

Played the Dream with my two "shit, another damn par" buddies on Sunday... played the Nightmare yesterday and today... am frazzled. Had perfect weather (light breeze, partly sunny, 70s)... nobody ahead nobody pushing all three rounds... saw turkeys, deer and the squawky horny-as-hell peacock that chases visiting geesettes. Fairways were absurdly wide (didn't matter, balls were still going OB right and left) and exquisitely groomed; lots of sand and water, huge greens were painted cement... many three putts... much anger and swearing. The boys bitched about their "abysmal" low 80s scores - I was perfectly happy breaking 100 (94, 96 and 91).

SA.01.JUN... Hit from the blues today... 6,560 yards... 40/38 on 72 par... just a couple of 3-putts; no swimmers or lost balls... hit every fairway...
still, for so early in the season, all that tedious practice all winter seems to be paying off.

SU.09.JUN... same course... played the yellows (with three duffers almost as old as I am)... 5,380 yards... 46/45 on 72 par... several many 3-putts, 2 splashes, hit every beach in sight... oh yeah, all that winter practice sure is paying off. A real WTF round.

TU.11.JUN... Richmond Forest GC... 6,700 yard (blues) rural gem in pristine condition - owned and maintained by a 700-acre nursery... played the 6,100 yard white tees... hit a -mostly- satisfying 45/41... had disastrous double plunk on #3 (splashed the drive then splashed the drop)

lol...
Capac, MI; Michigan thumb area... burgeoning rustic metro of almost 2,000 souls, lying halfway between Shitsburg and Grinsville... but features

HOLLY MEADOWS GC (usually a goat ranch of last resort - but the bar girl is amazing) just out of town... the 6,000yd run is in the best condition ever... just incredible... likely due to all the rain we've gotten and sparse patronage.
I'm playing my long irons (175>205) a lot more these days - mostly to complement my inability to hit a decent 4 wood.

and... there will be at least 20 duffs (four H2S brothers, friends and family) participating in the 2024 Chilkoot Open, Keystone, CO in late August. We'll be playing both the Ranch and River Courses. I'm excited about the Ranch run - was designed by RTJ jr. Last year's inaugural Open was held at Pinehurst, NC.
