got us talking about it

i think i had seen that last year that there were 2 different courses - one quite short, and both at altitude.... and then forgotten.

i will say it was a little tricky getting the one course's yardage. while it seemed easier to get the longer course's yardage.

a few 61's were the 2nd best scores.

Love this anticipatory post that was exactly one year to the day before dude shot 57 on this exact track.

yep...rivercity nailed it

Yep. Especially after another 59 in round 2 by 19-year old Aldrich Potgieter.

American Frankie Capan III opens w a 58 today at the KF event

says 7,000 yards.....

Texas Rangers club....... is that the police or the baseball team? .........

scores aren't really low, although they are pretty low. might be a 62 and 64 or two when the day is done. (i assume no one goes really low in the afternoon)

Texas Rangers Club is affiliated with the baseball team and opened in 2019 after going thru a multi-million dollar renovation. Beforehand it was Chester A. Ditto municipal golf club. It was, as we say in Texas, a goat ranch. ��

With that said, my buddies and I played it countless times.

First off, it was cheap. During the week it was ~$20 with cart. ~$30ish on the weekends.

Secondly, they didn't have a beer/liquor license, so it was BYOB.

Thirdly, they didn't have marshals. So if you got behind a slow group, which happened often because the level of play for most golfers that played there was horrendous, we would just cut across to an open hole and play until we caught another slow group and go back and play the holes we skipped earlier. Rinse and repeat as necessary.

Fourthly, you could play as much as you wanted with just the initial green/cart fee. Playing 27-36 holes was the norm.

I was a 7 handicap back then. If I didn't shoot close to par, it was a bad day. However, I never used any scores for my handicap from there as it was a very short course and they basically just watered the tee boxes and greens. So whether we were in the fairway or the rough, we rolled the ball to the nearest patch of grass.

Super fun times there for what it was.
