re: Who played today? Where? How was the course condition?

Yep played in the Ruiz the last 3-4 years. That one is always fun, I'm sure we crossed paths before probably played a few times as well.

I use to hit it ok now it's mostly hit and miss like most people. I been practicing alot lately had a grip change recently so been putting more time in my game the last few weeks

At Santa Maria currently. Impressed with the condition of the course. It’s been well over a year since I’ve been here.

What did you think about the format this year? 2 foursomes and swapping scorecards with no mulligans? Pencil whippers weren’t happy!!!lol!

I loved it actually. The group we played with were good guys, never knew them but I enjoyed it. I was worried about how long the round would take, but it went really smoothly. We actually played it in less time than the Duhe tournament. We played really well and loved the fact that the other teams couldn't cheat it really leveled the field

LaTour, PRIMO, rough deep

I tried calling for a tee time today and no answer. What gives?

I never call the pro shop, I know they changed over to a new system since it’s been purchased and isn’t going anywhere, I was there this afternoon and things were being changed over so maybe the phones was down, when do you wanna play? We need to tee it up best thing to do is book it online, or guest fees are $55

Not that I know of..... email me screename at gmail, I’ll get you hooked up.

It back to good shape? Ride south soon, bring the persimmon driver and your other 22 clubs round on me

Pelican Point. Fairways were in good shape and greens were fast as shite

They are lightning right now.

I was able to get out yesterday for the first time in the 3 months since my son was born. Maybe I need to take a three month layoff more often. Tried the #Play9 initiative and went

+3 = 39, best Ive struck the ball in a while.

Tried a few things on my chipping (using 3 wood (on the double), and playing more bump and run). Driver was straight and screaming and had good run-out on fast fairways.

Putting was decent, a few 2 putts (including an eagle opportunity) but quite a few one putts. No 3 wiggles.

As for the location, I was coming back through Alexandria and met my dad at Links. I've seen talk that it was in rough shape but I can attest that is as far from the truth as it can be. The fairways are pristine right now, best I've ever seen them. The greens are working their way back and you can tell the crew has done a lot of work to get them back. Still one or two greens they need to get to, but overall I'd say the course is 8/10 right now.
