The Irish Course at Whistling Straights

[yyz]

I had the unique opportunity to play the Irish Course today, and it was splendid. We had a great 'weather day' of 65 degrees, with almost no wind. Very rare to have no wind on Lake Michigan. I went there with eleven other guys, and I took a few pictures, if you care.

The ones with the sheep on the green are ewesom!

Thanks for the pics.

 

[Pittsburgh Paul]

[yyz]

We can have a MJ outing up here if anyone wants to drop $200 to walk 18 holes!

 

[yyz]

83

I took a triple on a hole where I literally could not get out of a bunker in one shot! I finished with a double.

:nono:

This may make it easier to appreciate the pics

83 ... my ass :mj07:

awesome looking course and would love to play it ... IF I played golf anymore :SIB

 

[The Joker]

Exactly. No way he shot an 83 there.

 

[yyz]

83.

Not like we played the pro tees, fellas!

We played the whites, because those are "mens" tees everywhere we've ever played. Sadly, some of the guys were mad, because after about 6 holes, we noticed the course was playing short.

A review of the score card showed the 'whites' where only 5900 yards.

We should have played a set back, on 'green'.


I'm a 9 handicap. 83 wasn't difficult from that range.

 

[WhatsHisNuts]

Looks awesome, Eric!

 

[ripken8]

Looks awesome, Eric!

couldn't you just e-mail him that... :facepalm:

Love the Irish course but my favorite has to be the River course at Blackwolf Run.

Gonna need the name of your caddie. I am sure he can pull up your scorecard.

 

[Nole]

Looks like a links-style type of course.

12 of you guys paying $200 and no one thought or bothered to check the tee yardages?

:facepalm:

 

[Mr. Poon]

:facepalm:

and if it wasn't noticed after hole 6, why didn't they switch for the rest of the round?

We paid $60. It was a special we got for being with employees of Kohler.

We had a skins game and money match going with the groups, so changing tees wasn't going to happen after the fact.

A couple of the guys have played the course before, so I would think THEY would have known the yardage a little better, but I had fun. Only a couple guys complained about the course being "short".

I don't need to be hitting 4 irons, and 5 woods into greens, thank you. Wedges and 9 irons were nice. Next time, the Green Tee set will be a little more challenging, and I look forward to it.

Gonna need the name of your caddie. I am sure he can pull up your scorecard.

No caddies. Most of the guys hoofed it around with pull carts. A couple guys rode carts, and another guy and I carried our bags.

 

[dunclock]

you just made one mistake ... you left off the 1 in front of the 83 :mj07:
