Shout out to Belbs for the Wednesday night accommodations in Raleigh, Shark for letting me hitch a ride to MB, and Butters and Belbs for getting me back to the airport today. All three are terrific gentleman with huge tallywackers.
I'll kind of wrap it up like Belbs did. The good and what could be better.
The Good -
The cost. For the dollar, I don't think you can beat this place and this deal. You add it all up, those of us that ate daily after rounds and nightly at the taverns in Pinehurst in the past, probably saved well over $200 on food costs alone.
Limited field. Jlit is aware and agrees, but 24 is too damn many people. 16 is pretty much the sweet spot. Not saying that if we're at 16 next year and 4 forum members want to join in, they can't. I think once we hit 16, you have to be a forum member to go. That way it doesn't come off all spread out and sh!t.
The courses. Running 810 golfers out on a Saturday? You'd think the conditions here would be absolutely dreadful. While the courses weren't memorable, they were pretty damn good and I'd have no issue playing all of them again.
The weather! Kmac really missed out! Having afternoon access to a pool was f**king nice too!
SW's knowledge of everything. I want him to make an app where no matter where I am, I can ask the app, "Danny, what the f**k is that?" and it answers me. I'm pretty sure if there is a fish, bird, insect, reptile, way to cook a meal, or vinereal symptom, he can tell you what it is. Was a real pleasure meeting and getting to know him this weekend.
The Bad -
There really is no legitimate gripes. Belbs touched on it, but we were a bit spread out. Not much we can do about that, but past accomodations blew these away, as we had more hanging out nights where everyone or more people were around.
Long Par 3's. Someone here needs to start a course design business and knock that f**king sh!t off.
I missed the alligators. Staples must have stole them all.
I played rounds with Jlit, SW, Fill In Ed, Butters, Shark, Jlazy, Biggsy, Seth and of course Gasman and enjoyed every second of every round. I love the sh!t out of you dudes and can't wait to do it again.
