Couple very driveable par 4 on the aggressive round

I actually live pretty close to Fox Meadow. Nice to see another person on the forum from my area. Unfortunately, I'm not a member of and have never golfed Fox Meadow. I have golfed at Ridge Top quite a few times though and it's a pretty decent course.

I am tempted to play a 3rd round with a combo strategy as I really don`t think the conservative or aggressive is perfect in all situations.  I have shot 74 from the whites this summer and have had some good putting days and scores since getting a new putter but have been more inconsistent with the tee ball, so predicting how I will play any particular day is difficult (paticularly using the aggressive strategy).  My goal is to flirt with par/sub-par at least one of the days.

The only time I broke 90 was at a 5,300 yard course - it was very exciting.  I'm looking forward to breaking 90 again.

I missed the signup period, but I love the experiment.  I've been playing "forward" for a few months and really enjoy it...

You can still sign up, you just have until the cut-off date to play your round.

And realistically we might just expand this through all of September given my travel schedule...
