Trip went off with out a hitch save Texas' showing against notre dame.

Arrived Thursday afternoon.

- Drove to The Glen Club - tough course. Thick rough and deadly fescue on many holes. Game wasn't as sharp. Great round and good facilities. Fastest greens I've ever played and I adjusted well. I don't think I had the proper wedges for the rough. I was able to shower after my round which was great. $165; seems to be semiprivate as I played with two members.

- drove to downtown Chicago. Dinner with work friends and we Howled at the Moon at Howl at the Moon. Great time. Lots of Blue Moons.

Friday:

- woke up early and still a little woozy from the night before. Drove to Cog Hill. I was the first one off as a single. Dubsdread was much more playable than The Glen Club. Rough not as thick and no deadly fescue. Being the first one off allowed for a 2.5 hr round. I played well and I really liked the course. I'd love for that to be my home course. $165 though.

- drove back to hotel to shower and headed to Wrigley Field. Game was pretty cool because half of the stadium was wearing burnt orange. The color of my alma mater. Cubs blew out the diamondbacks.

Saturday

- morning headed to south bend for Texas v Notre Dame. Tailgating was great. LOTS of Texas fans. Game was.......

Sunday

- brunch with friends and flight home.

Great trip. I highly recommend both courses next time you're in Chicago. Downtown Chicago is sweet as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
