It’s matching shirt day for day 2. 

[cksurfdude]

Really nice course! Here's how I am starting out...

1. Par (with a breakfast ball) 

2. Double

3. Triple

4. Birdie (with a do over tee shot .. I went too far right)

Good stuff here guys. I really wish I would have been closer to make this work.

Those aren't the Cornhusker colors............................. where's the red? 

Great photos and recaps, have fun there!

[cksurfdude]

Next Par 3 .. short but a nice up & down! Finished the front 9 at average bogey golf +9

[cksurfdude]

Played the Back 9 especially well. Well... except for that one blow-up hole

+6 / 42 for an asterisk first time ever provisional 87 (whoo hoo baby!)

The whole group had a much better day today vs yesterday!!

19th Hole .. team polos!!

Small town USA .. and it's beautiful...

 

We turn around and walk one more block...

..and on the other side are fun things like these...

Lots of cool cool old cars .. one 40s hot rod literally ONE INCH off the ground! Some guy also had a 50s Fleetside pickup (full bed, not a step side) and it started up with the deepest throaty rumble!

I love that you guys are walking around in matching shirts!

Looks like an amazing time!

Photo dump

Getting ready on the practice green

First hole tee box was one of several that needed some TLC. 

Had to get a photo of the Ghost bag!

@Erin B had a case of the blue balls today. Wildlife has been abundant all weekend.  Coming up tomorrow, Wild Horse!Respectable scores from everyone today. 

[cksurfdude]

We got a really nice stretch of 3 days weather wise - only a short, light sprinkle one day and almost no wind all the days!

Decent enough play for me today .. some pretty good and some well you know s#*! that needs more work (especially irons and approaches)

Wild Horse is an amazing course!! Def wanna come back and very highly recommend anyone who can get out that way to check it out!! Great layout, great design imo with a nice variety of holes.

Greens were beautiful smooth and super fast so oh yeah there were some 3 putts...

But walked off with a +10 (generous scoring) on both front and back for a provisional 92 (hey it's a friendly not a handicap round). 

Really great bunch of guys to golf and hang with!!

 

Oh, PS: more pics to follow - some of the other guys captured more than I did.

[Josh Parker]

Looks like everyone had a great time!

[cksurfdude]

These old windmills still dot the landscape .. this one was next to the cart path on (#16?) .. you can see it's actually not connected to anything anymore, just the old turbine blades still creaking away...

This is down the fairway on that same hole.. 3 good tee shots lined up and waiting to hit the green .. the 4th is just to the right out of the frame...

Great day! Great round and great group!!!

This was by far the best weather I’ve ever had golfing in Western Nebraska. Greens at Wild Horse were rolling faster than I’ve ever experienced as well. Just a little expose to lure a few of you to join us next year. 

Hole #1

The cow skull tee markers are epic. 

The last par 5 on the back gives one last chance at greatness. Lipped out my chip for eagle but still made birdie. Will have to try again next year. That’s right…who’s in for next year?

[GolfSpy_APH]

Looks like a great time had by all! Thanks for sharing. 

[WaffleHouseTour]

I like matching shirt day better…

[Erin B]

I’m in for next year and hope my elbow will have healed! But irrelevant of the elbow I’m in!!!

We will definitely find a way for matching shirts again next year. Also looking to make this an 8 person event next year.

I'm sorry, Sir, but I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of such an event. 

(..if any wives are asking no nothing like that ever happened )

FYI everyone else - the custom car show rally and the prime rib dinner were like way totally awesome dudes!! ..hah but really another great travel experience in addition to the golfing

We all had at least one birdie at Wild Horse!!! Birdie hunting was good.
