Who plays golf in the winter? Those with the sickness, that’s who. https://t.co/90qe3HG3zQ

@tony_chapman76 @ScottSzabo @bkusek Usually the 2nd to last weekend in July. It was around July 22nd last year.

@bkusek @GarrisonBrews @kevcmoore @WHGC1998 Wooga ‘23: now accepting applications.

[redbeard golf @bkusek]

@kevcmoore The Wooga. Late July. 18 holes at @WHGC1998 then a horse race before a local, 2-day open and Calcutta in Elwood, NE.

@realGolfchat Probably the most fun I’ve had playing golf in a long time. From a technical standpoint, the swing changes from the winter are working. Played some awesome courses with great people. Super stoked to play my first AM tournament in almost 15 years.

@bkusek @LiaRaabe @tony_chapman76 @PrepRunningNerd I’m dying over here. I can barely walk up that. These kids are tough.

[HashtagSpomer @SamSpomer]

@Tony_Zamboni I had a couple pars to hide my triple. Same, right?

[HashtagSpomer @SamSpomer]

It’s pretty crazy that the 3rd hardest hole (scoring average relative to par) for the Mid-Am’s championship flight was Landmand’s wee little #8. IIRC, the yardage was 95yd and 88yd on the weekend and into a big wind. It’s such a terrifying hole!

@jeffrussellmr59 @NGAgolf @LandmandG Doesn’t hurt when you come back with some new merch! Nice playing on Sunday.

[HashtagSpomer @SamSpomer]

This may be common knowledge, but for those that weren’t able to play a practice round for the Mid-Am, Bing has a aerial map of @LandmandG if that helps. It’s new enough imagery that you can see tee, bunkers, and greens. https://t.co/NL5UfsJJps

[HashtagSpomer @SamSpomer]

@MichaelHupf @LandmandG I did! Practice round for the Mid-Am.

[HashtagSpomer @SamSpomer]

Hole 12 at @LandmandG and all I can see is Jabba the Hut’s face.

[HashtagSpomer @SamSpomer]

@jeffrussellmr59 @LandmandG Totally agree! I can’t wait to see it grow over the next few years!

PS: I must have been close behind you today. I think those gentlemen were drinking on the patio when I finished up.

@bkusek @BradlyLoughren @ScottSzabo @openlinksgolf1 @WHGC1998 Such a great hole and it’s fun to talk about. It is 45 yards wide from Wooga to Wooga at 300 yards and 75 yards wide at 250. I’m there in 2 with 4H/3W. My dispersion pattern with a D is 70 yards wide. I’ll lose a ball more often then I make eagle so lay it up it is.

@tony_chapman76 @Golfer_Jake_78 @WHGC1998 I really like these lists. It’s cool to see what resonates with people and highlights how much of golf is a personal experience. As I tell my kids, don’t yuck someone’s yum. Lawsonia was disappointing to me, but can totally see why others have it higher.

[HashtagSpomer @SamSpomer]

Overall, Lawsonia was a great look at the past and it was a lot of fun. For better or worse, the modern game really has made the course obsolete.

[HashtagSpomer @SamSpomer]

Lawsonia absolutely delivered a wonderful trip back to the Golden Age. Green complexes were fantastic. Slopes around the greens and bunkers were insane.

[HashtagSpomer @SamSpomer]

Another knock, and it could be due to recent weather but I wasn’t able to use the slopes much at all. Everything was hit and stop (partly due to hitting all wedges).
