Old Irish style bride leading out to first tee from the practice green and my ugly mug:

Whistling Straits is a legendary course. I've played it on the simulator once and it's damn hard. I don't remember if I even cracked a 100.
The Ryder Cup there was a disaster for Europe.

It's definitely an experience I recommend to any golfer. I'd love to get a crack at it without the wind, but it hasn't happened yet. I've played most of the great Wisconsin courses. Erin Hills, Lawsonia, Sentry World, Blackwolf Run, The Bull, Geneva Nationals. The Sand Valley complex is the only one left for my bucket list, but The Straits is the only one I go back to every year. I play its sister course, The Irish, every fall also. Insanely good value at the offseason rates. Free: range balls, bottled water, brats, dogs, bag tags.

Seems like this part would be up the alley of most of you. Gary especially.

I just googled most expensive courses and Whistling Straights ranked #5 @ $555. Shadow Creek in Vegas topped the list at $1000. Yikes. I think we paid around $300 in Hawaii.

Well it's 10C (50F) tomorrow, so I'm starting my golfing season. Got a few buddies to come, so we'll be playing, eating, drinking until we pass out and somehow try and make it to work on Monday.
I'm pretty stoked. First round of the year is always special.

It was okay. I had an eagle putt. Missed. Made birdie.
I scored one double-par 8 (after missing the green by only 15m on my approach). Got sun burnt. Lost two balls. Short game sucked. 3W and 5W were decent everywhere.

PGA Championship starts tomorrow. Is this the time and place when Tyrrell Hatton wins a major?

I'm picking Homa every major until he wins.
It's like my Jets/Lions Super Bowl prediction I've been making for 45 years.

Maybe this week Schauffele has 4 good rounds.

Seen this before from Xander, most recently last weekend. I’ll take the field, with McIlroy as top contender.
