A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous, got me?

My philosophy of Course Ratings: Sorry, I don't have an objective course review strategy. I play 'em and wing it.
My background is in parks and recreation, so I tend to have a better handle on public courses and how they fit into an overall park design. I'm nit-picky on conflicts with other park uses and play-ability (flow) as opposed to someone who is just evaluating the shots.
I'm not a very good golfer so things like the challenge level of a top-tier course isn't really my strong suit. I can look at things like variety of shot types, variety of distances, etc., but I'm not really sure for example if a hole is a par 4 or a par 5. Like I said, I just take my perception and wing it.
As a result, I really don't review courses I consider to be a "3" or over after I play them once. Better courses I like to play 3-4 times in a variety of weather to get a better feel for the design.

Nebraska is the other Bruce album I wanna check out...sounds kinda like a cross between Bob Dylan and Niandra La Des & Usually Just a Tee Shirt...which would be AWESOME.
lulz, I'm still chuckling to myself over the juxtaposition of you huddling under hail in Chittown and me falling asleep on a teepad in the warm gentle sunshine on a completely uninhabited course down south.
One last thought: Alan and I were driving between courses when a song from Weezer's Green Album came on, and it reignited the whole Kug/World vs. Juke in regards to if it's good or not.
HA! You did make it up then? As soon as I heard "maybe" I was like "no way in hell I'm planning my last 3-day w/e of the summer on a 'maybe'" . Glad you made it up, though, and got some rounds in with Eric.
GDBP and I got accosted by Baptists in Indy, I fell asleep (literally) on a teepad at Hazel Landing, and I also was introduced to the wonder and joy of thistles. :| :\ :clap: :-|
