  Not sure what hole it is on Congressional, but i wish i could see your face when you see that tree staring you in the face when you tee off for the first time lol.  It's a WTF moment for sure, but dont worry, you can drive over it :-)

  Congrats!!!!

   

  That'll be #4.

  That tree is permanent proof that course designers smoke something a lot stronger than pot!

  Thanks, guys. I appreciate all your support and warm welcome.

  I now need a chainsaw for Congressional. So I need one set of clubs, a bulldozer and a chainsaw. The caddy is sure going to earn his keep.

  Maybe I should escape while my sanity is still intact lol.

  No Jason you cannot escape, this is Hotel WGT. You can check in any time you like,but  you can never leave. We do have spirits here, you just need to provide them yourself. WGT has no real way to check ID's. We have wine, women and song and women, and Yancy and Squirrels and other things that can never be explained. We have MKG who is always looking for the magic word, we have a guy who likes to crush bubbas, I could go on and on, but it would crash the site. Let me know your favorite golf eggs and I'll send ya a 1/4 of a dozen. Enjoy, and like the best are telling you, have fun.

  What a surprise! I woke up this morning to discover I'm a Legend. A Legend in my own lifetime.

  I thought it might happen soon, my average was close and about a week ago I came third and fifteenth in a couple of tournaments. I was hoping I could stay a Tour Master for as long as possible. I've heard how tough it can be when you move up. I won't be entering any tournaments for a while.

  Jason - It's like reading the same post I put on, when I woke up a Legend on New Years Day ! To be honest mate, I hope you deal with it better than I did, as I was feeling very 'fragile' for a few Months and hardly did anything other than practice rounds. Like some have said, some of those tees are a long way back, which obviously leads to longer iron approach shots and sometimes, longer putts. Some Guys and Ladies deal really well with it, but I didn't !

  The best of luck to you mate, maybe we can have a game soon.

  Wine, women and song. I might just stay. Not sure about the squirrels, they pinch my nuts, the ones I put out for the birds.

  Thanks for the tip, egonweber.

  Thanks for the advice, Glossopade.

  I will definitely have to do a lot of practice. I know it's going to be a challenge. I appreciate your offer of a game. It would be great to have a game with you, I could obviously learn a lot. Look forward to playing a round with you.
