im jealous. the lodge courses are my 2 faves!! enjoy goddamit!

I did! Sweet courses!

Paul Ulibarri, Catrina Allen, Avery Jenkins, and maybe some more pros were staying at The Lodge. I saw Paul and Catrina but didn't want to bother them. Probably should have asked for a quick lesson for gas money... Oh well

 

[mashnut]

Was everything mowed and trimmed at the lodge? How was the water level?

 

[notapro]

Oh yeah, courses were tip top. Water was very low.

 

[mashnut]

We played there in a flood, it was exciting but made for lots of plastic in the water.

 

[notapro]

I managed to stay dry, playing it safe for the most part. Might have cheated a bit on #11 Moccasin . I did make the island hole in one shot from the blue tee though.

 

[notapro]

Re-tire was an experience too. Played with Kenny, plus 5 other people. Crazy bastards!! LOL!!

I heard about Peanut and the cats too.

 

[mashnut]

Nice! I landed my shot on the island, but it popped up on edge and the wind picked it up and blew it backward into the water. I think I used a roc on 11, I made it across but I made Ashleigh stand at the top and spot for me.

Kenny is a great guy, gave Ashleigh a free mini for hitting an ace there. Peanut loved chasing those cats up the trees!

Just saw that you broke the 300 mark on your courses played list. Lucky duck! :thmbup:

What did you think of RLW Jason? Pretty solid course right?:thmbup:

Absolutely a solid course....easily one of the best around here.

5 of us + my dog made the trip down there and to LL on Monday. I will certainly head back to RLW in the summer months to take another look and play the "complete" course without icy teepads. Here is a pic from Hole #24....

Aw yeah...

Road trips are the coolest.

 

[mashnut]

Looks like a sweet trip, that's a solid list of Oklahoma courses you hit. Nice job on 300!

 

[notapro]

Yeah, one of the most interesting trips I've taken. Good times.

I thought there was no way I would get up to 300, when I started out, but I cruised through every course. It helped that it's not as hilly as a Utah or Minnesota, that's for sure.

 

[mashnut]

The lack of major rough on a lot of the city courses helps too, though I had to spend some time searching at the Lodge and on Blackhawk when I played.

I'm jealous, my winter roadtrip was planned around seeing family so I only got to play 8 new courses.

Brett's post on the Discontinuum forum:

Chuck informed me today that the RLAPD budget was increased. There is enough money to purchase all baskets and tee pads in 2013. Phase 1 will take place this spring. The White layout will be playable. Phase 2 will take place later in the year and the course should be complete by the end of 2013.

:clap:
