Is Red Hawk the one right on 75?

No the one off 75 is Hillcrest.

Was really impressed with RHR. Would love to get back when it isn’t a shitty weather day. Loved the layout. And it was in great shape for all the heat we’ve had lately.

No. Well, I guess we did, it was listed $55 but they charged us $45. They didn’t have any deals on Friday. It’s well worth $45 though, so I didn’t mind. 

Raining all day weekend in Chicago. No golf for me. Sad.

Finally made it out this morning. It’s not a difficult course just 3200 yards for the back 9. Only hit 3 of 9 greens in regulation but was always right beside it. Every tee shot was ok distance with a clear 2nd shot.

6 pars, 3 bogeys

Missed a tough 5 footer for a 38 on final hole. Missed a 6 footer earlier in round for a bogey. Made a nice 7 footer and a 12 footer for par.

I have embarrassing iron distance but I know what club I need to use and how to hit it.

Rode in cart in about 65 minutes

I played 18 the other day in 1:56 minutes.  Shot a 80 on aerated greens.  

Put a super stroke grip on yesterday.  Going to go putt today.

Played 6 strokes better than last week in our league. I'm not mad. 

Had the opportunity to play the Moraine Country Club yesterday. It was a wonderful place but I felt a little ill at ease at such an upper crust place. First time I’ve ever played with a caddy (one guy for the four of us). He didn’t give much advice but he was a godsend for finding balls on an unfamiliar course.

Forecaddies are the best. 

I think I found a ball on the 18th hole last night that I lost two weeks ago.

Let it go!  Once they get a taste of freedom it's hard to get them back!

Expanding on this a little more. I hit my irons much better than I did last week, I only really had one or two mishits all night. I did put myself in a very bad position on one hole, downhill of the green, completely blocked by trees. That hole killed me, next time that happens I need to forget attempting to punch it through to the green and just take my best clear shot back to the fairway and regroup.

that means you were scrumming around in the rough looking for a bad shot you hit?

No, I was fine on 18 but one of the guys in our foursome hit his into the woods. I went in to help him, and also find any other stray balls I could. Walked out with 4.

God I’m glad I wasn’t behind that

Lol, it took a minute or two. It was also league play, so everyone behind us was in our group and they weren't anywhere close to the tee box.

I get it but I’ve been behind too many of those groups that are holding up other foursomes and are just not concerned there is anyone else on the course.

-13 and won an outing today. Should have been -16, just missed a few putts.

Isn’t that how it always is? Missed putts absolutely kill in scrambles. 

I blew it up last night at the Legacy, 2 water balls and an 87 with four doubles. Great day

Went out again today, same course and shot the exact same score on every hole as last time until the 9th and final hole. I hit a nice 7 wood from 180 flag high and ended with a tap in par instead of missing a 5 ft par. I hit the ball better but wet course with no roll. I had a bunch of 160’s to the hole on 2nd shots that would’ve been 140’s.

lol-- many times when you come in with a -13, inevitably a group will come in later with a -14..never seems to fail

Oh yeah. We were tied with 2 other groups and won on the 3rd scorecard playoff hole. 

Shot my best league score of the year today, in jeans, because I'm a dumbass and forgot my shorts this morning. Denim is not comfortable athletic wear. Also left the course with 20 more balls than I started with.
