It really is, and they went all out on the 50th Anniversary. Attendance was the biggest ever, especially the Shootout which had more people on a hole than Barbasol. Chips & Salsa aside, the new owners are doing a kickass job out there.
-Austin Knight will probably have a career playing golf, or at least give it a good run. College Golfers aren't anything new at the Eli, typically have 5-15 any given year, but this kid is on an entirely different level than anything we've seen come through there besides JB Holmes.
Murray St, OVC POY, and has won his last two D1 Golf Tournaments. There was a buzz that he'd shot 64 in each of his practice rounds...okay, fine - what do you have once the tournament starts? Turns out he had a
63 ready for Round 1, and we followed him for some of his back 9, never missed a shot. Ended up cruising and setting the tournament record in the process.
3rd place was even Par, which is typically the gold standard to win that tournament, and would have again this year if not for Murray St bringing their 2 ringers. This was despite the easiest conditions I've seen in 20 years there, as the greens were soft as butter & just everyday regular speed, which is never the case.
-79/83 for me, my worst showing in 5-6 years despite me playing 5 days a week now. Very disappointing. Just had absolutely nothing, was like I'd never played before. Hit 2 fairways and 3 greens on Sunday....wtf? #golf
-Highlight for me was taking $490 off my Uncle in Mario Kart Saturday night. Nice little consolation prize. We went until 5:30am Thursday night and 3:30am Saturday night...which may have had something to do with my performance?
Ready for a week or two off (from both :golf: & :cheers2
