I'd really love to take a trip to play the streamsong courses someday. And big cedar is just a few hours so I need to make that happen soon.

I'm just encouraged to see new courses actually opening rather than closing.

Ooo...cool.  I've been wanting to check out Nemacolin anyway (it's only an hour from me)...maybe now I'll turn it into a "real" trip and play both courses.

Mystic Rock is a great course at Nemacolin.

Other than the price, that would be cool.

Here's the link to Sand Valley. http://www.sandvalleygolfresort.com/.  I'm hoping to get up there this year. They had 11 holes or something like that open last fall and I heard it was awesome. If things go as they plan I have a feeling the prices will increase every year for a while. They are trying to make it a destination similar to Kohler WI  (which is where Whistling Straits is located).

Perhaps they were trying to be clever and counted Stoatin Brae twice. Counted the forward and reverse directions as "2".

Stoatin Brae is about 2 hours from me. I hope to play it this summer. I've played all the other courses owned by the resort that built the course.

Silvies valley Ranch OR?????  Soooo....Your gonna fly into Redmond OR, which is a smaller regional airport.  Now sitting in a amazing golfing area with tons of great courses your going to drive 2.5 hrs through no mans land, to arrive at no mans land.  To place a golf course in the high desert that may or may not have water year to year.  I cannot figure out for the life of me where they think that they are gonna get people to go there to golf.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.

      My wife is going to drag me to see Wicked.   She is very excited to see it.   We saw the musical while in Chicago and thought it was very good.  I'm not usually a fan of musicals but I'm looking forward to seeing this.   Gladiator 2 does look good.   I'm going to go back and watch the original Gladiator before going to the theater.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.
