@Wade
Sounds like an awesome experience!

I don’t keep an official handicap, but I’d say around a 5 or 6. I shot 88 lol. My driver was a bit off to the right and if you missed with your tee shot or your second shot you were in trouble. So many bunkers and if you didn’t hit it on the green where the caddie said the ball was gone. I feel a couple more rounds there and I could shave off a lot. Now from the championship tees that’s a different story lol. 300 yard par 3, numerous 500+ par 4s and an almost 700 yard par 5. Awesome to play it though.

@Wade
For sure on all those caveats. Hell of a round regardless of the tee you played. It’s a whole different level playing championship course (what I consider almost all PGA courses to everyday golfers). Sounds like a fun day regardless of any missed shots!

@Nicol
I had a string of 3 pars and a birdie so I’m happy about that lol. But it’s really easy to let a hole get away from you and put up a triple quad or worse lol.

@Wade
300 yard par 3 is just fucking stupid. I at least hope it’s an easy green complex.

Where we played it from was about 225. From the very back tees my buddy said he hits 3 wood usually. It was pretty crazy. I was in the massive bunker left of the green lol.

Amazing! You from around there? I played Longue Vue a bunch in college.

I know my phone was with the caddie I tried to not really have it out at all I only took it out a few times during the round. My buddy took most of the pictures on his work phone.
