I'm right across the river from Kansas, and I love the wind. I also love when people from calm places come play in our tournaments. =D

Back in "the day" we didn't get many Kansas guys at tournament in St. Louis (there was a weird St. Louis/Kansas City thing) but we used to get the Oklahoma guys. We used to run a C tier weekend Jefferson Barracks on Saturday/Sioux Passage on Sunday and the OK guys would spend all Saturday cursing the trees at JB and looking like non-factors for the weekend. Then we would get out to the wide-open spaces at Sioux on Sunday and they would just crush bombs. The windier the better; they had bags full of Whippets, Vipers and Rams and they could torque monkey the living crap out of those things. They would tear us up on our own course.I'm right across the river from Kansas, and I love the wind. I also love when people from calm places come play in our tournaments. =D
A few courses I play on a regular basis are occasionally slightly (10-15 mph) windy: Hiller Park in Biloxi, Ann Mo in Boise, North Bonneville in WA. Hidden Cove in AZ was the windiest I ever played: in the partly-sheltered parking lot I clocked a high of 28 mph.
Used to have a Star Max for windy drives, but got spoiled in Portland by having too many good options on windy days. Now I'll throw a Surge---or a whole lotta rollers.
It was that little nine hole course in Brighton.
28mph? that's it? seriously it's blowing that hard right now in Nebraska at 8am. the cool thing about playing in wind is you can absolutely CRUSH the course on calm days. 10-15 is very normal for around here, but we really don't consider that "windy". and yeah, I suck pretty badly at 28+ myself....
--- so we went hunting microbrews instead.
I've been in Colorado since 94, and I've noticed that it's much windier here than it used to be in years past.
I was thinking the same thing. I don't remember much wind here until maybe five or ten years ago. It's like living in Wyoming.
It's called the Lone Star state because that's its review on Yelp.
Uh that and the badge the Texas Ranges have is a star that carried over to the flag during Texas independence from Mexico and not yet part of the USA.
He's wrong. He's always wrong. Even the area that would become the state of Texas had a 2.37 Yelp rating in 1716, two years before San Antonio was even founded. In 1836, when Texas became an independent nation, they climbed up to a solid 3.0 rating however it continued to go downhill from there. In 1845 Texas joined the US Union at a measly 1.54 and today they remain fairly consistently as a lone star hovering between .086 and 1.12.Now I'm curious which one it is.
