Sunriver resort outside Bend, OR (my FIL’s partner owns a house there)

According to this map it’s actually 106 ft, but I remember shorter

Two (2!) par 4s under 200 ft lol. I got 2 eagles one day

1 and 2 are fun — super steep hill. 2 was definitely par 3 when I played

Also, imagine the GOP or any conservative think tank addressing the issues mentioned. Almost impossible to conceive

National average for gas is just over $3

During most of Biden's term, it was just over $3

Record round at Golden Gate Park yesterday 🥳

I always hope for two 2s in the round and I had two birdies (parked!) by hole 4

18 was a shame because it was a great upshot from a terrible drive and then a miss from 30

It looks like the bad info is coming from an old URL from linguafranca dot com

www.linguafranca.com/9709/shellga...

That URL is referenced by several sites that list you as the author, published September 2007

"nobody outside of that cohort will mention this reality"

I'm reading this book right now and it's so very relevant

We get like 500-800 passion fruits every year and somehow haven't managed to sell a one (come by if you want some -- we still have a hundred or so left)

I'm gonna write off my donation to the MLK gardening class as being worth $300

50-50 griplock or decent disc gold drive today

Good approaches and scrambles, but putting made the difference

I missed a 25 foot birdie putt on 5; 30 footers on 14 and 18, off the top gate from 45 on 2 and 12 …

3 and 13 were good putts, but 70-30 putting on the wrong side

Up and down round; one off my course best

I played the back nine first, and conditions were *ideal* at #OysterBay

70, no wind. The worst you could say it was too sunny

Drives were on again, off again but approaches and making everything 25 and in helped

<failing the dont-post-about-maga-hypocrisy-because-fascism-is-inherently-hypocritical-challenge yet again>

Per MAGA rules, a president calling the Democratic Party and its members agents of Satan is peaceful, free expression, but criticizing capitalism in a tweet is domestic terrorism
