Date: July 16th or 17th - exact date and time to be decided soon
Venue: Bear's Best Atlanta. Site of a THP Tour Van stop once upon a time. We've each played the course a couple of times, but it should be neutral ground.
The Course: A collection of holes that mimic some of Jack Nicklaus favorite holes from the 200+ courses he has designed. We'll likely play from the Nicklaus tees which play 6,513 yards and 71.9/140. There is one set of tees further back but that will for sure be too much for this old man. But with a high rating and slope the course will still have plenty of bite.
Background: Miller Time started this Call Out something like this:"I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan... I mean Barry. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner; now I am the master.”
At least that is how it sounded in my head!
We met as partners in the THP Atlanta Invitational, where we won Hall of Fame Tags together. Back then my index was lower than his. I was about an 8 index and MT was a 12 I think. We were opponents on different teams of #TheKing, where I won a 2nd HOF tag. Miller Time is now a 5.0 index, and my current index is 12.9 (though I'm trending lower). And he's a college golf coach now, so he is a master! Plus I'm as old as Obi Wan...almost. We need some of those Project X Light Saber shafts for this Call Out!
The Pops: We'll take a look at course handicap based on our indexes from the July 15th revision. Looks like I'll get in the neighborhood of 9 pops.
The Stakes: TBD - We haven't discussed these yet. What are you thinking Vader....I mean Miller Time?
