Wait are you Craig Burrows-Johnson? You don't live in Alberta so that's not you is it?

[Plankton]

No. I have no idea who that is. There's an underlying movement to melt the hippy/stoner stigma away, and getting recognition from any governing body is another step in the right direction to that end. Just putting it in the spotlight here for awareness of the masses. All 5 of you.

[The Batlord]

But we are a bunch of hippies and stoners.

[Plankton]

Shhhhh.

Looking forward to getting back to Ledgestone this year. I missed last year thinking I was going to Hawaii, but that got rescheduled so I just ended up heading out to Nashville and checked out the Bowling Green courses in case I ever made it out to the Am Championships. I aint gettin any younger, so I need to make some moves real soon and put myself out there to see where I land. For me, it's all about the experience and friendships made. There are some fantastic people that are involved in this sport.

I was dialed in last night at putting leagues. I won "Hot Putter" in the first round, which is won by making every single putt in the round, and then my partner and me went on to take 3rd place out of 14 teams. This is one of the hardest leagues in the area too, and they made sure I knew it. One dude walked up to me and said "So you're gonna come up into the one of hardest leagues in the state and just fuken dominate huh?".

I went to a club tag challenge throw down over the weekend down south. Great people, lots of smiling faces and a good group on my card made for fun round. I managed to finish with a par. One funny moment was while we were waiting to start a guy was passing on his way to his starting hole and mentioned that we looked like a fun card. One guy yelled out: "Well, yours is cool too. I wouldn't put you in my spokes!"

lol

A 'card' is the people that are randomly placed together on a scorecard for a 'shotgun' start.

It was the last time anyone will play on that course too. They're tearing it all out and starting fresh because of Ash Bore damage, which has been a thorn in the side of quite a few courses over the years around here. Can't have any widow makers falling on people while they're out trying to putt, drive, and throw so they tear those infected tree's down and burn em, which takes away established flight lines so sometimes it's better to just start over. There's 2 other courses on the property so they'll still be huckin plastic out there during the rework.

[The Batlord]

They have three courses? Damn.

[Plankton]

Ooops. They actually have 5. There's a Blue, Red, White, and a Silver course. I always forget about Blue, since it's kinda bleh. The "Silver" course is the harder of the 4 though, and turns into a "Gold" course if you play the longer tee's. "Gold" being professional level distances.
