It seems like you can first class mail just about anywhere in the lower 48 in 3 days


Say what? It would take 3 days for that truck to drive from CA to Baton Rouge.

USPS does fill empty space on UPS and FedEx planes, but first class is going to be the lowest priority.

I can play one of the other courses here if anyone thinks they are equally as nice. Figured I'd just play the best.


In the city? Or the Woodlands courses?

The woodlands courses. Or the cannongate ones. I have a voucher from a friend who volunteered at the senior tournament back in April.

well, this is from their site


if he shipped it standard post, which is likely what he did, then i guess it might take longer

but first class is 2-3 days

Ya, I didn't realize they called a box shipped slowly "standard post". Thought it was first class or priority.

Standard Post will take the full time. They are trucking it from USPS DC to DC to DC to regional DC to local post office.

Champions


Cool place. I think you have to be a 10 handicap to join. You could be a billionaire and want to join but if you are a 12 handicap, Mr. Burke will tell you, we will buy you some lessons to see if we can get you better, if not there are plenty of other places in Houston to join


Also, one of the top three locker rooms I have ever been in. Just a special place.

I haven't played a bunch in the woodlands. I have played the TPC course a long time ago (where they used to play the Houston open) and both courses at Carlton Woods. That's about it for me.

Gotcha. Trying to decide if I want to play the tournament course that was punched with small Tynes last Monday or one of the other courses.
