Steve, there might be rules that could help, a little. Committees don't have much impact if no one listens. Somehow we need to get to the root of the problem. Not really sure how to change the mindset of "golf courses must have rope" and "random rollaways are just part of the game." If there...

Well, I'm no fan of triple mandos, but if it's wind-powered like that one, I might reconsider.

OK, I just reached my limit. Proctor's rollaway has broken the camel's back for me.

That sounds like an amazing story with far-reaching consequences. The Metcalf family were Texas DG legends back in the day. Where on Facebook would someone find this story, Mr. Saylor?

Bryan, it was great to see you -- so glad you made it down. The owners and I were all honored to have you make the first throw and to make L & J your 700th Texas course. Hope to see you again somewhere soon.

Look, we have stayed quiet on this subject all year and so has the Best family, the owners of Hillcrest Farm. For now let’s just leave it at this: don’t believe everything you read.

That Maryland rumor is pretty interesting. We'll let you know if we have any news. No news at this point. Definitely have other news -- about other places -- coming soon.

That's great, John. Hope you enjoy them both, and please let me know what you think. Constructive feedback is a great way to learn.

Hey, John. I recently got his from the powers that be: The course will be open starting May 14th (soft opening tournament is 5/13) Show up 10 am thru 6 pm .... Rate will be $12 for Championship course to start. $5 for the micro course. If they want to lodge at the farm they will need to make...

Yes, it is. Finally. It's a happy day. Hope to see some of you there.

Steve, are you saying that if I'm playing a course of 18 one-shot holes, and I'm not a big thrower, that I should have to throw 18 "exceptional" shots just to reach the green (however we define that)?

Lots of important theoretical discussion going on. Here's what would help me: would someone please name a hole or two that we would consider a "good" hole that almost never gets birdied. Talking about a real-life example might make the conversation easier. Thanks.

I've been in touch with them lately, and summer 2023 is now the goal. They have been able to find some additional manpower and maybe some additional funding (but they certainly could use help on both those fronts). In any case, the reports have been encouraging, and I hope to visit in December...

Thanks, Trey. Yes, I do believe that Agape, Mammoth Cave, Tomah Shinga, and a few we haven't announced yet are all going to be top-tier courses. But everyone needs to keep hope (and prayers) alive for Selah. There still may be a solution.

Exactly.
