I still need to get up to WL and play Ackerman after the remodel. To be honest, I think both of those courses are way overpriced, but from everything I've heard, Ackerman is much improved since the re-opening.

I never got the chance to play the two courses in West LA LA, but have heard good things. In my opinion every course in Indiana is overpriced, after a few I have played out here.
Def overpriced if you can't get a tee-time after 4. And like I said I still flash my student ID so I can play there super cheap. I walk a lot too so that helps.
Yeah, thankfully Indy isn't too bad but definitely marked up compared to places even as close as Kentucky and Tennessee.
I haven't played either course in at least five years, but I always was impressed by how well they were maintained. Kampen can get long in a hurry, but there's about 37 tees to choose from.
I never played it before the remodel, but did the Kerrigan scramble last year and was very impressed.
The Purdue courses are both great, and give you very different styles. Kampen really intimidates players, which made for a nice advantage in my HS days as it was our home course.
I had played since age 10 and didn't get my first ace until last summer at age 29. My dad has been a near scratch player since his late 30s and didn't get one until he was 60 -- and now has 3 in the last 7ish years. It's a ton of luck, as mine one hopped in to a pin that was on the back side of a mound on a super funky green.
What hole did you eagle? Got my first on #2 at Coyote. Piano man was my witness
Hocking Hills State Park area is south of Columbus, where I live. That’s where I usually hike.
****kk you I play from the reds w/ driver. Was 10 feet from going into the creek. I’m not a long hitter!
are those one up from the backs? it's been a long ass time since i played that course -- haven't played since Torin and those guys bought it / Brent became pro.
I'm not a long hitter either and feel like I normally hit my hybrid off the tee there.
I have to admit when I saw red tees and not a long hitter I thought the same.
I am personally a big fan of the whites wherever I play. N/R
Only course I've played where the tees before the tips are red and not blue.
Suuuuuuuuuuure. It’s cool. I don’t think anyone is surprised that you would tee off from the ladies tees. In fact, I would think more people would be surprised if you didn’t...
*fart noise*
I like a nice short porch par 4. Nice work on hole out.
WKU getting a top 5 recruit in the nation.
He never played a game for us. Sat out last year after transferring from Louisville. He was a 4 srar recruit who got buried on the depth chart at UL. Wasn't expecting a whole lot from him this season but he was our only 7 footer. Eric Curry and Oturu are both around 6'9 so we will be a bit small at C. It's worth the risk for Crandall though, he is a gamer.
Decided to set up a tee time there this weekend for Father's Day. Was pleasantly surprised how affordable their afternoon rates were, even on the weekend.
Sounds like moe Wagner has a stud younger brother that could be coming over to the us either this upcoming season or the year after.
I still don't think he gets drafted, but I'm beginning to think Dakota Mathias has more than a cup of coffee in the NBA.
At the conclusion of Raptors workouts, Toronto puts 2:30 on the clock, instructing players to shoot threes off the catch following full-court sprints and pull-up triples from the wings and the top of the key. After launching, players inch out as many full-court layups for the remainder of the time frame. Mathias drained 13–of–16 long balls en route to setting the all-time Raptors workout record with 53 points.

If he can prove he can hit shots against pros he can find a spot. Just needs someone to give him a chance. G League will give him a chance
If a guy like Ron Baker can get steady minutes in the league I don’t see why Dakota can’t
Guess it was me he's referring to, ha.
BTW, did you see the Mertz tweet?
