I guess I don’t recognize it. Not Brookwood, right?

It’s FWCC. Orchard and Brookwood are fun courses to play. 
 

I took this picture from the roof of the clubhouse.

Nice. I used call Orchard Ridge home. Now, I just chaperone my kids to all their sports. Amazingly, I’ve never played FWCC. Played Sycamore a bunch.

It’s getting to that point. Kids are starting to grow up and get into multiple sports. It’s fun but can be exhausting, as I’m sure you are well aware of. Love FWCC. Sycamore is a great course but tough as heck!

How many Aces should I mark myself down for?  Tee time in 40 minutes.

Second place.  You're always supposed to let the client win, right?

Damn, a pair of 11's. Did that guy play those holes blindfolded?

What did you shoot on the back 9?
How bad is your foursome? I haven't shot a 95+ since I was 14.

I played Noble Hawk and Cobblestone in Kendallville last year.  Decent tracks.

Domination at Top Golf.  Who says you're supposed to let the customer win???

[Hovadipo]

Who we got this weekend?

It’s Rory’s year, imo. (Been saying that for…years)

I just hope Scottie doesn’t run away with it again, but my hopes aren’t high. My favorite wacky timeline is Phil in contention on Sunday paired with Rory. It would be an unbeatable level of awkward. 

Unfortunately with the likelihood of delays, I don’t see Tiger holding up having to play more than 18 holes in a day on the weekend.

@WayneFleekHoosierI’m taking this year’s golf trip in the Fort Wayne area.  Will probably play Cobblestone and Noble Hawk and looking for a third course.  Have you played Zollner in Angola?

[Josh]

 Yo @HoosierAloha you jelly?

Re-reading this thread.  Still hitting my callaway mavrik max irons, still using my taylor made ghost tour daytona putter.  Gave up on my PXG 811 gen 4 driver;  for a while was hitting a Nike Vapor.  Gave the PXG 811 to my son who is absolutely crushing it off the tee.  Was tired of being 40 yards behind him on drives so decided the 2014 technology of the Nike Vapor wasn't going to cut it.  Tried demoing the Callaway Paradym and really didn't like it (probably a good thing since it was $600).  Found a Mizuno STX-230 driver in mint condition for $380 (it retails for $500....and it truly was mint condition, had obviously never been hit, not a single mark on it -- can't say enough about buying clubs through second swing).  Anyway, Mizuno has been known for their irons but not their drivers, but they really stepped up their game with it.  HItting it straighter than any driver I've hit and with good distance. 

Have a golf trip planned with my father, father-in-law, and a friend of father in July -- playing courses East of the Goshen area -- Eagle Glen in Columbia City, Noble Hawk in Kendallville, and Meadow Valley in Middlebury.  Played Noble Hawk before and it's a really good track, other two I haven't played yet.
