    A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous, got me?

    My philosophy of Course Ratings: Sorry, I don't have an objective course review strategy. I play 'em and wing it.

    My background is in parks and recreation, so I tend to have a better handle on public courses and how they fit into an overall park design. I'm nit-picky on conflicts with other park uses and play-ability (flow) as opposed to someone who is just evaluating the shots.

    I'm not a very good golfer so things like the challenge level of a top-tier course isn't really my strong suit. I can look at things like variety of shot types, variety of distances, etc., but I'm not really sure for example if a hole is a par 4 or a par 5. Like I said, I just take my perception and wing it.

    As a result, I really don't review courses I consider to be a "3" or over after I play them once. Better courses I like to play 3-4 times in a variety of weather to get a better feel for the design.

    No, things are cool, fo' sho'. I just always take work very seriously, and stress needlessly about things that are cool. You know? When you're the boss everything comes back to you, so...I don't want anything coming back to me, lol! ;)

    Also, I'm starting another big training "program" so to speak, so that is extra stuff that's making things a bit more hectic.

    I'm more freaking about the housing situation (or lack thereof). :(

    Who knew there'd be NO decent housing in this shi thole area? :thmbdown:

    Who are these White Sox you speak of? :|

    Seriously though, I'm stressed out enough right now b/w work and trying to find an apartment/house that clearing forest with NoGo is my "recreation." :| :| :|

    The last thing I need is to suffer a heart attack while watching baseball. :(

    I agree, those were just the ones I picked out as my favorites out of your list. I don't think there's anything wrong with not currently having a 5 rating, especially if you're open to a course getting a 5. Some people have said they won't ever give a course a 0 or won't ever give out a 5 and that irks me.

    I have more issue with the folks who don't give out low ratings than the ones who don't give out 5s. I don't see any of the courses I've rated a 5 on your list, I wouldn't argue too hard if you or someone else gave Ozark, Foundation or Rogers Lakewood a 5, but none of them make the top rating on my scale.

    I try to stay out of the music thread. Too much self-righteousness.

    Hey Mr. Putt!!!

    Have you seen my thread asking for Sabres? I thought you might stumble upon it on your own, but I was definitely counting on your expertise. I lost my wife's favorite sabre, and it is going to cost me...

    Here's a linky...

    Thank you kind sir, for anything you can do to help.
