Quoted for the truth, and bolded for what I will be shooting. Don't worry if you are a high handicapper I can assure you it doesn't matter.

Couldn't have said this better. Bulldog is primarily friendly as long as you don't hit into him on the course.

Boom! In 12 hours the Northern Illinois Express will be heading towards Iowa.
 
I've been advised playing lots of golf this weekend probably won't be great for my back.... So of course I'm going to Iowa to play golf! :)

Or as long as you don't hand him a Shandy.
 
I prescribe cake vodka and a hole in one.

Got off early on the course & hit the road @ 5:35.

Are you guys going to eat lunch on the road, or do you want lunch here tomorrow? If eating here, your choices are bar food and pizza. Golf will start around 1pm.

I'll have a better idea of that in a couple of hours. But for purposes of planning, just figure on noon. I may get out of here a bit earlier than that, but noon is safe.. Have to run to another office for a bit, then head back to corydon to wrap up a few loose ends.

We'll get lunch somewhere. Pizza, bar food, or sub sandwiches from a gas station are your choices for lunch. Team Illinois should keep me posted on their lunch plans.

Dinner will be at Ludlow's here in Corydon. It's a nice place, steaks and sandwiches dominate the menu. But you get that nice 'small town' price for your food.

We've picked up 3/4" of rain in the past 24 hours, with 1/2 inch last night. Corydon golf course should have been dry enough on Wednesday to withstand this amount of rain, so I say game on for today!

Also, today is hole 18, which means I can post this, work, and then kick this weekend off. One of the longer par 5s on the course. 3 wood or driver off the tee will be fine for everyone. Long hitters could try to cut the corner, which like every other dog leg on the course, has a bunker protecting that inside corner. The fairway splits about 150 yards from the green. Most of us will want to just play it safe and head to the left side to stay above the green. However, better players (better than I) may want to take the right side. The right side will leave you an uphill wedge shot, but pin placement may make you want to be on the right side. I'm not that good, so I just always shoot for the left. A deep bunker protects the right side of the green.

Oh, and pro tip (because I've seen the head pro do it). You can actually ignore the fairway, and tee off into number 1 fairway. This reduces the yardage and can get you on the green in two. But the course would have to be not busy, and you need to be thinking a minimum of 290 yard drive.

Probably. Let us know when you leave and your ETA and I can tell you for sure.

Tear up the golf course today boys! You should do a HOTD
 
7 inches of rain at the house yesterday. Glad it was here and not at the course. Hoping it is dry enough to get to the range today.
 
Has anyone ever been putter shopping at Manards? Prince Hartmann has.
