cant wait! Almost 2 weeks since I have got out!

[Instron4204]

Thanks for the updates. I also heard Redtail Landing is in awesome shape.

[Double K]

Don't be hitting into us!!!

[Kale_m]

haha where you playing?

[Double K]

Heritage if the rain holds off

[Kale_m]

Played like garbage. Actually I hit it ok. Just left myself in some dumb spots. Hit it like garbage on the par 5’s though....

[Kale_m]

Great day at heritage pointe today. Light rain for 1 hole, storm clouds went around us.

shot 71 from the tips on the desert/ heritage loop.

hit it very good. Driver was automatic.

I played heritage today as well. Is it me, that course was manicured better. Maybe winter hit it on the Pointe really bad. Desert was good except the 2-3 club winds... starting to find something. I need to practice more as I sure do notice short war, ups do nothing for me. I also played the tips and it was an alright day. Front 9 sucks back was ok. Missed a few really easy birds that had me swearing

[Kale_m]

Couple rough spots on the greens but I thought they roiled awesome. Was good out. Didn’t notice that much wind actually. Was a great day!

[specimania]

Ya pointe side got it worst from what I saw. Hopeful it will be better in July. I played at 6ish so the wind picked up a lot. Oh well such is life round here. I need wind irons and calm irons I guess :)

[Double K]

Desert is pretty much pure. Pointe got hit pretty hard by ice from the looks of it, that’s really the only thing that can do that type of damage. Found the greens a touch slow, probably from all the rain. Best sand in the city and I saw a lot of it. Hit it all over the park. Really not happy with my game. Range is on grass which was a surprise.

Very happy to play Desert before asshat paves it with houses.

[Kale_m]

Is that happening for sure?

 

I won’t play that course anymore If they do that. Pointe is a terrible 9 holes. Heritage is good though

[Double K]

He did it at the Hamptons, really can't see him not doing it at Heritage. Helps to finance the purchase.

played strathmore this morning for the first time. What a sweet course! Great shape and great greens! Little bit of a rough start but got it going on the back!

[Kale_m]

Played talons with crusin today.

 

I could play those greens every day for the rest of my life!

 

77 from the tips. Got on a bogey run late in the round. But A great day!!!!

[ZipinZ]

June 26th .... looks like snow in Sylvan but it's the Cottonwood tree's, what a mess.

[Double K]

Crusin is a Country Hills BSD now?!

[remlap13]

I love Strathmore! One of the best quality for value courses in the area. I'll be out there on Sunday.

[Kale_m]

Definitely going to play it again this year

[Cruisin1966]

BSD?

100%

[Double K]

Big Swinging, and I'll let you use your imagination for the last word.

[Cruisin1966]

Ouch.

I wanted a membership somewhere. And Country Hills is the closest and was affordable. Maybe if your busy schedule permits you might join me for a round.

[ZipinZ]

Happy Canada Day !

C1966 ..... If he joins you, hopefully there was adequate epoxy in the new heads D-K shafted up on the weekend, hope they don't fly off on the first hole.

Sylvan got about 3" or 75 mm rain over the last couple days, home course is floating.

1 day men’s open at olds today. Was +2. Dropped a few shots on the last 4 holes. -1 went to a playoff.

best greens in Alberta (outside private tracks) if you ask me. Might even be better then some private courses

[DexterC]

Any feed back on the condition of the Canals at Delacour would be appreciated. How are course conditions, bugs, etc have not been out here yet this year. Mt Lorette was in fab condition yesterday, weather was unreal sunny and no wind wind which is so rare these days.

Cheers,

Dexter

[Cruisin1966]

Can't comment on Delacour, but it's nice to hear about Kananaskis. Hope you had a great day out there.

[remlap13]

I'd also like to know about Delacour. Might try to get out there next weekend.

Tied my best round ever yesterday with a 78 at Strathmore. Was -1 on the back going into 18 and I blew my first sub-par 9 with a bogey. Those were the best greens I've played on all year. Quick, but not unfair. No dead spots. And shockingly, very few un-repaired ball marks. Most rounds I'm repairing at least 2 or 3 per hole, even if I haven't made one myself.. It's been a crazy year for that.

[specimania]

Delacour is great. 2nd green is a bit rough. Course is great. Bugs are bad. Huge and nasty. Greens are great.

 

[DexterC]

Thanks Cruisin,

Day was fantastic, had my best round ever at a K Country course, a -2 under 70. 37 front and 33 back, one of those days when the universe aligns and the golf is effortless. On top of that, my wife also had a fab day with a 85.

Have back to back rounds nest week Mt.Kidd Monday and Mt. Lorette Tursday, here is hoping for more great weather and golf.

[Double K]

I played it in May before the bugs came and can report the same. Course was pretty wet when we played which makes it super long. Range was not open yet.

#2 was shaggy but would expect it to constantly get better over the summer.
