I did! It was awesome. Met Mike Carrol, and saw him crush some drives. Played River Bend and have a full write up on it…
River Bend: It’s an interesting course… some terrible holes, greens are in great shape but have bermuda and the grain is not a joke… it was an interesting thing to adjust to. I also learned the dumbest rule in golf! You aren’t allowed to “test the playing surface” of a green to figure out which way the grain is running… so you have to go to the cup and figure out which area the grass is growing towards.
I have lots of thoughts on the golf course… Got to see Mike and Eli in action on Sunday… Eli absolutely CRUSHED a ball on #1. Like melted it.
Played on Monday with Dr. J… it was good fun! Mike and Eli are actually just incredibly nice and thoughtful people… Genuinely excited to have everyone out and just wanted to meet people and talk to them… I gave some gifts which may or may not pop up on the podcast / patreon…
The course on Monday was super tough… we also did not get lunch on the course… I’m still shocked at how sober everyone was. Everyone I met was super nice. I’m looking forward to hearing what comes next!
