Par 2 doesn't make any sense; that means you need aces to have an under-par round. If there were a way to call Horning's #2 a "par 2.5" course, that would probably work.

Why does it bother people so much to see scores of -13? That just tells you it's an easy course.

My bad. I was not aware that it was a par 2. I don't have a problem with that since I used my putter on most of the holes. So, in that case, I shot a +5. Nothing to write home about I guess.

Oh, by the way, what is a good score on that par 2?

If you gonna look at it that way, +5 is freaking awesome...

Don't let them bring you down, SMO! Par 2? What the hell is that? Minimum par is 3. Nice job on the -13!

Except that it beats my PB on that course by 1. You can bet your ass that I'll be there this weekend.

Nice Job, Kent! Thirteen under par is a rad score!

Anthony Kim was well on his way to proving Augusta National is an easy course last Friday.

When? Are you going to the Leverich bag tag on Saturday?

No. It looks like we'll be out there for Matthew's birthday party on Sunday afternoon.

Keep me in the loop on that one.

Sam · #**250** April 15th, 2009, 06:01 PM

I am going to be out there all afternoon on Saturday. I have to beat Kent's score (and break my PB tie with Scott). Bear in mind, I have only played that course like three times and once was in the dark and once was only a half round or so.

snap7times · #**251** April 15th, 2009, 06:12 PM

Ahhh, so plans are to beat yourself on saturday afternoon... thanks for the warning, i'll be playing anywhere else...

Anytime I see a course with a -15 for a score... I wonder which hole has the Styrofoam castle and which one has the Clown's Mouth.

Sam · #**255** April 16th, 2009, 08:38 AM

Have you played it, Jeff? It's actually a lot of fun.

Yes, Scott. A little bit.

I'm sure it is. Even mini-golf is fun. I'm just not a big fan of birdie-or-die courses.

Sam · #**257** April 16th, 2009, 08:44 AM

Tee signs. Baskets. Frisbees. What's not to like? Not every course has to be Milo-esque. Mix the little one with the bigger one and it is a great day. You should try it some time... you know... BEFORE disparaging it. Benson it is not.

I don't consider it a birdie or die course, because it's likely you won't care if you birdie or not. This course is not about competition at all. It's a walk in the park with a beer and a frisbee. For many, this type of experience is a reminder of why they started playing.

The Highland course by itself is not a destination course for experienced players. But it is an awesome addtion to the Canyon course and the yet to be named ass-kicker course. I think it's a great warm-up for the other course(s) and I can't think of a better place to introduce new players to the sport.

You really should give it a try.

I can't wait.

Hear hear. Both of these.

(The problem with it as an intro to new players is its distance from town. You gotta hope your beginners won't mind while you play at least one round on the big course!)
