So I've been away for a while, (no surprise there) but being furloughed for six months has allowed me to get my game back in shape. For the first time in years I finally feel like I'm playing golf instead of hacking at a ball with a stick. Now if only I could stop three-putting......
Anyway, my...
Played Bluffs & Peaks at Boulder Point today. Never pulled the driver, and gave myself a ton of par opportunities, but I couldn't pitch or chip to save my life. It was if I had completely forgotten how. Course was in good shape with the fairways offering up a fair bit of roll.

Considering joining a club this year after years of swearing I'd never play the same course more than twice a year. Twin Lakes GC in Oakland, MI has an unlimited family membership for $3600 a year. It would get us unlimited golf with cart, range balls, swim, and tennis. Just trying to weigh...
