Thurs- work all day, then hit heistand on my way north to the family place in Mercer. Nice course, plenty of hacks throwing 2 discs with 6 people waiting, but enjoyable. This course is one that i wish i could come back and take my time on, perfect for longer ace runs. Short on time, elver was out of the way. Ran out of daylight but was able to stop at Glide which is a premier store for WI.
Fri- Start by playing Sandy Point in Lac du Flambeau, which I will say right now was the finest small ball course I have played. absolutely immaculate, plus all the bugs were killed by night temps in the 20s earlier that week. lake holes were open for the tourney on sat and sunday. AWESOME!! Contrary to my instincts, like a salmon going to his home stream, i left the comfort of that beautiful gem and swam upriver to Highbridge.
Got to highbridge, and it was strange because there was about ten cars in the lot but not a person in sight. grabbed some cards, somehow found hole 1 of blueberry hill and started. this place is almost scary to play alone. I saw more snakes than people. it was like everybody died, and as the last man on earth i chose to spend my time discing. never did see another person on that course, but it was one of the finest setups i have played, just not as immaculate as sandy point. After finishing that, I saw another human being who guided me to the start of woodland bear, which was shorter and more tightly wooded than blueberry, but even more isolated and devoid of humans. Had to stop after that to eat some home cookin with the family.
Sat+Sun- Family, ATV riding, Limit of walleyes each night with the old dad.
Monday- Booked it back south to stevens point, where i took in Yulga. True to the DGCR rating, this was an outstanding spread, very packed with foul mouthed drunks and also families with small children. Not the best combo for the future of the sport, but this course is a must if youre heading up highway 51. I wish i had time to play two rounds, but there were just too many people. So I went to Standing Rocks, which was the first full course ive played that had all rubber tees. the sandy soil made for some slips on the rubber, and i bet on a rainy day, with the steep rocky embankments off the tee boxes, they may have to wheel you out of there behind an ATV. This was yet another delight in my quest for the finest spreads in WI. the numbering is all jacked up, but i believe I played 18 holes, doesnt really matter because this place was simply beautiful. Totally worth three bucks. I wish i had time for two here, but i was tired, the sun was hangin low, and I had to be on my way.
That alarm clock this morning is lucky I am afraid to injure my throwing hand smashing it. Now i am back in SEWI, gonna have to hit up brown deer, dretzka, and maybe parkside next weekend just to try to bring my buzz down after taking in 6 new favorites in such a short time.
