Bradley was fortunate to have a choke artist chasing him

Had some free time pop up on the calendar over the long weekend and have put together the plans for an impromptu golf trip this coming weekend
Going up through Idaho into Eastern BC and up into western Alberta before coming back down through Montana and then back home
Courses that I'm looking at playing on this trip:
Idaho Club
Eagle Ranch
Copper Point
Greywolf
Fairmont Banff Springs
Silvertip
Stewart Creek
Wildstone
Shadow Mountain
Wilderness Club
Circling Raven
Was going to head up to play Fairmont Jasper Park but I've heard that the winter was rough up there and the course conditions are supposedly very very iffy. Almost said fuck it because the drive up there is supposedly one of the best drives you can take in the world but figured I'd save that for some other time when the weather/conditions from the winter was a little better -
And before you get your panties in a wad there peter puffer @YellowSnow about how I haven't come down and played golf with you yet this year ... it's still on my radar to try to knock out at some point this summer

Just saw some pics on the socials of some Spokane chaps playing at Greywolf in Alberta. These guys are BIG hitters. Have to think the ball sails a mile at altitude.

I play golf in Colorado every couple of years … the ball travels a long way at altitude for sure

I used to make quad riding trips to St Anthony Dunes near Rexburg with my family. I mainly tagged along to play golf while they all went out and got hurt riding 1000' tall sand dunes. Played multiple courses at or above 5000' and can confirm. Golf in the high desert is fun. For me at the time the difference was about two clubs and maybe 25-30 yards of total driver distance.Tequilla said:I play golf in Colorado every couple of years … the ball travels a long way at altitude for sure

I hit a 9 degree driver in part because I used to hit a really high fade with a more lofted driver ... now I tend to hit it probably lower than I should (will get tested whenever I get my next clubs) so I don't get quite as much carry in elevation with the driver as the usual 10% would suggestchuck said:

On the other hand, I tend to hit my irons fairly high and find that you can get a lot of carry with the higher lofted clubs as the ball stays in the air forever
What I find most playing in elevation is because you're playing in mostly mountain terrain that you have to pay close attention to the greens and where to miss as at least one side typically has a nasty fall off area. Playing a half a club short is almost always better in these environments than a half club long. -
Whoah.....that's crazy 🤣Tequilla said:the ball travels a long way at altitude for sure
