18 at Rockland, man it's weird how clear some areas of it are getting. I definitely had some avenues to scramble that previously were not there. Also 2'd 18 for the first time. I've had a look at it a couple times but always botched the putt. I should have 3'd 7 after a great comet patent pending shot, but missed the 25'.

what made you choose the destroyer over the force? I recently went the opposite.

They're both equally overstable, so they're my bookend drivers. I traded for this pink bottom stamp Destroyer that I had been begging my friend to give me for like a year. I threw them both as hard as I could off the same tee on saturday, and accidentally put hyzer on the Destroyer and it went farther than the Force thrown flat. I will say the Force feels a lot better in the hand, and if I lose my couple Destros I would use one as a bookend.

I played real bad last weekend, vying for redemption this weekend. Same bag

Yeah that 90% humidity combine with muddy tee pads threw me off slightly. It took me a little while to slow down and adjust. Ugh I'm over August.

Have fun this weekend. It should be beautiful weather.

I didn't think it was too hot honestly. I think my issue was just sleep deprivation, I didn't sleep well the week leading up to that weekend and then it was too hot to sleep either night. It's hard to focus and visualize enough to hit those tight WVA lines when you're exhausted. Trying to sleep better this week haha.

Super fire emoji. !!!!!!

Very nice.

Sleep well tonight...

Keep it up dude! Nice shooting

This weekend was the polar opposite of last weekend. Came out firing on all cylinders Saturday to go
60 - 1002 rated at woodshed
59 - 1019 rated at whippin post
Of course any rounds that good had a little luck involved (Had two putts go in off the top nubs, a couple throw ins from ~100') but outside of luck I was hitting lines all day and cashed like 5 or 6 circle two putts, the basket felt massive. Really a magical feeling to string those two rounds together.
Sunday was I scratching around a good -1 round and then lost my head on the final hole 18. Went OB drive, 2x pitch up, hit a tree 5' away, missed a 15' putt for an 8 to torpedo that round. Sour note to end the weekend rounds, but I know how I want to play 18 moving forward forever, and it's not that way.
Declined cash - playing Loco Open at the end of the month and then ODCC in October.

Thanks every on here for the good vibes, missed you there this year FLuke, you could have watched Apple Valley lose their minds screaming for their boy Nate.

I was thrilled to see Nate take the win. He's a great golfer and great dude.

I was really pulling for you after I saw you tied for the lead after the 5th hole of round 3. Walking down Hammer and Cody is awesome.

If you haven't played the Monster at Limestone Ledges I'd love to give you the tour. It's the best course within an hour from here.

Oh my god I didn't even know I was tied haha. It was so weird, I had basically no nerves on Sunday, and I feel like I play way better with nerves.
I do really need to get down to the new courses down there soon.

Played Iron Hill longs for the first time with a friend on Saturday. Loved it, I will say the fairways are a lot more open than they appear on camera. I shot a 71, which seems pretty good for my first time there.
Seppo's Eagle on 17 is just incredible, it's sneakily uphill, I got two full flights out of drivers and went 590'

Ouch. How did you like Limestone?

Ouch. How did you like Limestone?

I have mixed feelings on it so far.

Pros
I love the ambition, and the scaling difficulty. I think it has a lot of interesting shots, and they did a great job cleaning the whole park up. It is definitely the hardest course in AV now if you play one of the Monster layouts.

Cons
I think the layout is a little confusing and it's going to require a lot of signage, my friend and I were trying to play Monster B and played the A basket on hole 1, and accidentally played to hole 8's basket from hole 16. I think it has to do with the fact that they did such a good job cleaning it up, it's hard to see fairways, if that makes sense. It can also be overwhelming how many baskets there are, though the flag system helps.

LoCo Open,
Shot pretty much my rating through three rounds. Honestly not that mad about +2, +1 at Clark's run because I think it's the first time I've kept it below 70 in a rated round on that course. Franklin was a mixed bag, played decently in control, and then went and lost my marbles on 3 and 11 and took triples on both of those to end at +3... I gotta be better at stopping the bleeding haha. Also I gotta stop blowing up on the final hole of a tournament...
