This is so awesome to have people here! It feels like the old days :)

So many are missed, like Acemeister, zipadeedo, sarge and so many others, and I feel so blessed to reconnect with those of us here now!

I agree Brad. It is great to play with old mates, and hopefully we can entice a few more back to this great game.

Played my Rd 3 with Juan, who was playing a very steady round until Holes 10 and 11 messed him up a bit. However, all that was forgotten when he scored one of the rarest eagles you can get on Hole 15, an Ace on a Par 4. Well done Juan, that's one to tell your grandchildren about! :party:

Cheers

Brad

Indeed Steve, and we have probably lost some we don't even know about. But, there are still quite a few of us Old Timers around and we just have to keep on enjoying each others company while we can. :up:

Amen! Wish I had not taken an 11 year sabbatical :)

Last round of this event. These were really two fantastic golf courses to play. Attractive, and from the different tees, took a little thinking.

Juan
Congratulations!!!!!!!! That is really a very big deal!

Having watched Jack put the ball in on your replay, I'd be more interested in seeing a video of you doing your happy dance at home when it happened!

I agree Brad. Two really pleasant courses to play. Well chosen!

I played my Rd 4 against you and what a tussle it was. You took the lead on Hole 4 and it took me until Hole 11 to square it up again. It was tooth and nail right up to the penultimate hole. Neither of us played it particularly well, and I was fortunate that my curling putt just fell in, while yours shaved the hole. Never more that one shot in it for 18 holes. What a great match!

Cheers

Brad

Hi Guys,

here's an update on the rounds played to date at Acadia National and Glencoe Springs. This is not a hurry-up! Take as long as you want to play your rounds. Hopefully this will help you pick other people's rounds you might want to play against.

While there is no hurry to finish this tourney, I would like to give our next lucky course picker ample time to select our next venue(s). Given he has just returned to our little group of merry men, I think it's only fair that Randy selects the course(s) and conditions for our next journey down the beautiful fairways that our designers have graced us with.

Cheers

Brad
