The Gorge can be brutal, especially from now until April.  Looking forward to the February Freeze.

I drove through the Gorge to Corvallis every Thanksgiving and Christmas for 50 years; I've seen it all.  Don't have to do that any more!!!!

I had to quit today after playing 11 holes; sadly I was Even Par with 2 birdies and 2 bogies on the front nine.  One birdie was on #7 the 3rd hardest hole... so net eagle.  Hole #10 was also a net birdie.  Wish I could have played the other 7 holes, and also wish I could have another day to do so!!  Guess I will have to do it again next week when the temps dip into the low 20's.

I have been hearing about the courses around Nashville... I was partnered today that was raving about a trip he recently took to Gaylord Springs Resort outside Nashville. I just looked up Harpeth Hills and it looks good too - especially for a public play course.  !!

Looks like you got things going on the back nine there vandy!

 

Harpeth Hills is a the jewel of the Nashville municipal system. Truly a fantastic walk in the woods and a steal at $34 to walk 18 on the weekend.

Gaylord is high end resort golf and they do that very well. Always great conditions and a wide open layout that is still interesting and challenging. I only get out to gaylord a few times a year but it is always pretty great. 

in terms of layout, about as different as two courses can be and still be in the same general area. Let me know if you ever make it to Nashvegas.

Great stuff this week, y’all!

I’ve gotta say, this has been motivating for me  … my handicap has dropped to 15.7 now.

Got out for a round with my dad today and played well, but the finish absolutely killed me....bogey, double, triple 

Shot an 85 with my 15 course HDCP for a net 70 which was -1.  Not a good day with the driver but I managed one good onne...long drive was 273.  

Edit: had a net eagle on #1, hit my approach to about 6 in.  If that counts as 2, then I think I had 8 net birdies but I could be screwing that up.  

 

Way to start the round out strong with a natural birdie/net eagle on #1!!!  Thanks for posting Chitown.

Golf is still on in WNY but getting more tenuous as the daylight gets shorter and worse, the hour just went on so what would have been twilight golf last week will be after dark this week, ergo no golf.

Week 6 entry of best rounds:
 

with unchanged handicap because of rounds more like my average at 26.1 makes the 97 total a Net 71 for -1 and longest drive this week was 179 yards with the driver and longest fairway hybrid hit was and insane 209 layup.  I honestly don't understand the net birdies thing so will look for where that falls out in the Week 6 results.  

Really enjoyed my week with the Black Jacket and wish this week's winner all the best for the win! 

Looks like you have 6 net birdies... so basically any hole you get 2 strokes on (looking at your card above... #1 on your first 9 for example) and you get a bogey - that is a net birdie.  (Bogey minus 2 strokes = birdie).  If you par a hole with two strokes, that would be a net eagle.  The holes you get one stroke on (Like hole #3 on your 2nd 9 for example) and par the hole - that is a net birdie.  Hope that helps

I will definitely let you know... It has been 45 years since I have been to Nashville... suffice it to say - I wasn't golfing much in the 3rd grade .  It is one of the places I hope to visit in the next year or two - not only the golf, but to experience the music scene there....  my two loves... golf and playing guitar... I'm not very good at either of them.  haha.

I was thinking of this specific one as an "unofficial" outing - but I would absolutely be up for an official outing in Texas -
