  1. Shot a 74 at Kizer about 12-13 years ago. I had a friend that worked with me, and once daylight savings kicked in, we walked as many holes as we could at Kizer or Clay on Wednesdays after work. Straight from the truck to #1 tee, off and rolling by 5:20 PM. We usually got 18 in. Maybe more during June / July / August. Started fairway-green-3 putt on 1. Fuck. Holes 2-18, I hit every GIR. Got home in two on 14 as well. Hole 1 was a 3-putt. Holes 2-13 were 2-putt pars. 14 was a 3-putt par (doh). 15,16,17 were 2-putt pars and on 18, after sticking my approach below the hole with a 15-ft uphill putt for bird, I managed to 3-jack for bogey. So, a smooth 74 with 18 GIR and 39 putts. Sixteen pars and two bogies. The odd thing is, I've always been a pretty fucking decent putter. I burned lips all day long, they just never fell. Shot a 74 at Lions that same summer, but that was all over the place with five birdies, four bogies and two doubles. Had kids shortly thereafter, and my golf game went to shit. Now, I'm lucky if I play twice a year and I'm glad when I keep it in double digits.
  2. Great thread topic. We just bought a place in Junction, but I'd like to have a spot to hit during the week. Junction is just a bit too far for an afternoon hunt. Curious to see what we can scare up on a few hundred acres (low-fenced). Setting up three feeders and blinds this weekend, and we'll start feeding protein next week. Back on topic, I'm on the prowl for a dove / duck lease within an hour of ABIA. I'm looking for somewhere that I can lock in without being plopped down with hunters I don't know. Would like to have 3-4 gun spots. This would be for my business partner and me with the intent of taking our kids / employees / clients a few at a time. Willing to pay $5K+/yr depending on location / setup.
  3. So, did you bid 30 or 31 with that hand, Al? That's pretty awesome. I don't think I've ever had six of a suit let alone all seven.
  4. I did, but not much. TON of rock about 12" below grade there. I dug until I hit rock and said "fuck it". Maybe half a sack per hole at most. I really should have poured a grade beam around the perimeter, but I had just enough slope to make that a pain in the ass. I'm just going to set some 2x6s vertically at grade and hope a fox doesn't burrow under there.
  5. Got the chicken coop framed up Saturday of Easter Weekend. All cedar framing. 1/2" hardware cloth with 2x2 cedar stops going on next weekend. Need to enclose the laying area and put on the metal roof. Lots of details remain, but off to a good start.
