Congrats on the bogey free round and good luck in the Amateur qualifier today! The one time I went to the US open Amateur was when I was living in Oregon. Some Woods kid won it. Signed a contract with Nike the next day.

BTW, Amish don't drive. I remember them being in PA. Most likely Mennonites in KS.

You are totally right. They were mennonites.

A career of training/handling horseback field trial bird dogs and training hunting dogs put me in the heart of America for decades. Your descriptions are incredibly accurate and the storytelling is spot on. Thank you for sharing your experience! Long live our HEARTLAND ❤️🇺🇸🥩🧀🤼🍳🍺 a

Glad you enjoyed my home state lots of hidden gems there. No shame in drinking White Claw, I prefer Truly or Karbach Ranchwater but if they only sell White Claw then it’s all good. Good luck with the qualifier. Congrats on the 67.

What a great trip with your boy! And, holy smokes, a 67, bogey free! …I have no business inviting you to play with me at Pumpkin Ridge, but I do at least offer that I can keep up.

You are in my neck of the woods! Played Sand Creek last week, with all of the rain we have had, it is definitely playing longggggggg. Have fun at the dunes today, try not to putt any OFF the green!

Bodey free for 18 holes on a full-size golf course? Doesn't that qualify you for the PGA tour?

Scottie would have still beat me by 8.
