Obviously first dibs goes to whomever the original group was, but you can count me as interested.

If you don't, I've got a couple dozen laying around. I should have restocked last week when they were offering up 5+1 free, but held off because I picked up some new wireless earbuds.

 

And FWIW, I ended up finding and really enjoying the Snell MTB Black last week as well. Nice ball. Price is a little higher than Vice, but they do free shipping so you can get close.

I have some of the regular Pros, not the Plus version. But they're custom and I'm not sure if you (or anyone else) would appreciate the image I have on them. :D

Awesome, thanks! What are your thoughts between the Snell vs the Vice overall?

I liked both. I've been playing the Vice for about three years now, so it's something I'm really comfortable with. I thought the Snell felt really good though. Nice spin, medium/soft feel...just a great ball with clean looks as well. I'd be switching to it if Vice went under tomorrow. For me, Vice juuuuuuust wins on price ($130 vs. $140 shipped), but especially when you buy during their 5+1 sales.

 

From what I can tell, Snell does free 2 day shipping when you spend over $100 I think? Though I'll admit I've gotten my Vice balls in 2-3 days when I've ordered with standard shipping too.

I’m still around, would be interested in playing, depending of course on the date.

I think right now we’re discussing the 11th. Seems like a good date - if we get rained out – we still have a couple of weeks to use the vouchers.

I'm 85% there on the 11th.

I’ll check on that date this weekend.

Tim - I checked my stash, I don't have any Pro+ left (guess I need to order some) but I do have a boat load of Kirklands.

No worries! Thanks for checking!

 

Brian - I'll take you up on your offer if you don't mind. I think I have your number...area code 706? If so, I'll shoot you a text.

I'm 1% there on the 11th. Currently have plans to be in Kansas City that weekend. But, at least, I have plans to play in a work scramble tournament on the 10th while I'm there. I'm pretty sure I'll be available any other weekend if things change.

[pseudoswede]

I have a golf league event on the 11th. Really the only time that would work for me is Memorial Day weekend.

706 is correct! Shoot me a message whenever you want.

I ended up arranging a round with a buddy of mine and let that twosome I mentioned go. Hopefully you find a game this weekend!

I might be able to play Saturday or Monday that weekend

 

 

[RobotDoctor]

It looks like a terrific day back in Colorado. Wish I was there and could play but I am on business in southern New Hampshire. Rainy here. Play well fellow Colorado WRXers!!!!

[LooperCon]

I’m sure a lot of you guys saw the Sheep Ranch announcement earlier this week, so I feel like I can share these sneak peaks I snapped over the last couple weeks now ;)

 

Hope everyone is doing good back there!

A friend of mine got to play it in its original form a couple of years ago. Just him, two random guys, and a bunch of beers. I'm sad I'll never get to see it like that.

Same here dude! The stories I've heard make me feel like I got out here a year (or 10) too late!

[CDM]

Fun round yesterday with Hardrain, Jacob and Brian at Riverdale. Greens need about 2 weeks or so to come around, still real sandy and bumpy.

The funny thing about it is that he said he had a blast, but he was actually looking forward to it being developed as a traditional layout. For me though, as someone who grew up with a house just off of a local municipal and would sneak through the woods after they closed to play my own little three hole route using two greens, I loved the idea of a course with no real direction. It's just a big playground waiting to be explored, and may have been one of the last of something like that.

I agree. I had a great time with you guys. Makes me hope we can get something bigger together sooner, rather than later.

[CDM]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SWEET JESUS !!! Who wants to go... I am IN....!!!

_Right now the exchange rate is still really good too_

My buddies are planning a trip there in 2020. Can't wait!

Got out Friday afternoon at Meadow Hills. It was my second time playing out there - I really like the course. I didn't play all that well, shooting bogey golf, but still had a good time especially with the gorgeous weather. It was my first time walking this year so my body, particularly my lower back, was getting tired and sore around hole 13 or so. My putting has been atrocious lately with 4 3-putts and several missed shorter putts, so I need to spend some time working on that....so boring lol.

 

In my opinion, Meadow Hills is one of the best value courses in the Denver metro area - $37 to walk, and if you consider the Aurora card deal, it's more like ~$31. Greens are in really good shape right now. I think in a few weeks, they'll be top notch. It seems like they really take pride in their greens overall and are fast. I will definitely be playing this course more often.

[Joelness]

Hey guys! Good to see everyone still busy on here. I got in two weeks ago and missed our constant golf talk!

Finally got a few rounds in the last month and it was super ugly early on. Had a couple rounds in the 90's......

Got a few big problems working in the right direction though (how do I hit a chip shot again?). I'm in Lafayette for at least the next year so decided to do the men's league at Indian Peaks.

I would love to get out with some of you guys again and look forward to playing some golf!!!! Unfortunately I'm basically relegated to weekends and holidays this year.

Work on that putting in front of the TV!!! My most productive (and least boring) putting time :).

I've never tried Meadow Hills. I didn't realize it was an Aurora course, I always figured it was in the Littleton area. $37 to walk is a fantastic price.

I'm in the Indian Peaks men's league too. It's run really well and a lot of fun

Awesome! It's really glad to hear as bad administation and/or sandbagging can ruin a men's league. Sounds like we need to get out mr Joker!

Those greens are primo right now. Do you know when/if they punch this spring?
