Midsummer golfing update thread.
« on: July 29, 2010, 08:49:08 PM »
Anybody been hitting the links much this summer?

_FAN and I played Lake Shawnee last month. All that golfing during K-State games has really payed off for _FAN...guy's got skillz.  :gocho:

I've been playing some sunrise rounds before work.  Nice to be one of the first around the course.  Can get through in ~2.5 hours.  Been using Painted Hills a lot to lower my handicap.

Still waiting on the goEMAW tournament...maybe to benefit Trim's BBBS?

Used to be the first on the tee every day during the summer.

Miss those days  :cry:

Memorial? I've heard it's a nice course. Haven't played it yet. There are like 3 different courses in Swope Park. Decent little 9-hole at Heart of America Golf Academy that I've played...really well maintained, but the fairways are frackin narrow. 

I need to get over to more of the Missouri courses in general.

On Monday I played Echo Hills here in Wichita.  I picked Echo because I can walk 18 and finish in about 2hrs30min.  Anyway I misjudged the heat/humidity and about stroked out.  Got dizzy and started seeing double on the 9th green.  Took a 20 minute break and rode the back 9.  Shot well, still having side effects 3 days later.  Won't be playing again until September.

Used to play Eagle Bend quite a bit. Need to get back over there.  It's pretty friendly.

I play Painted Hills quite a bit due to price, location, and my mediocre skills (around a 20 handicap  :shy:).  Also played Lake Shawnee in Topeka for the first time 2 weeks ago, was a fun course.

Word on the street is that SuperG golfed his ass off during a trip to lake ppl country.

I haven't had a chance to get out much this year but a friend just announced we will be getting free golf at this place very soon:




Ooh, nice outfit. What is that, Dacron?

Painted's a great place for that handicap neighborhood.   :peek:   Trick is to know when to leave the driver in the bag.

Don't worry about it.  We'll need people to caddy.

You can play with me, and once everyone is nice and pak'd nobody really plays golf the right way anyway.

Just played Dub's Dread for the first time yesterday.  That is a pretty tough course.
