Not a bad course, but #1 is the worst opening hole around.

Not this year, but I'm a fan of that course.

And yeah #1 at three ridges sucks.

Both of my elbows are jacked up. Anybody ever deal with that? Inside right and outside on my left.

If two weeks rest and advil don't work go see an orthopedist and see about injections. That will knock out the pain after 2 days and then start some exercises to strengthen your flexor/extensor muscle tendon groups.

So me and my buddies are heading to Knoxville for the Georgia game. We usually play rarity pointe but I want to look at playing somewhere else. Anyone have any recommendations?

River Islands or Avalon.

I played it back in June. I like the course. It's not crazy difficult but hard enough. They don't sell beer at the course...if that's important. Bring your own swing oil!

Rarity Pointe is now called WindRiver in case you're trying to call and can't find them. It's almost right across the street from my parent's house.

I prefer River Islands. I think that course is fantastic. If you're staying in the Lenoir City area, see if you can get on the Toqua Course at Tellico Village. It's one of the better courses in ET. I'm a little biased as I grew up on it.

We normally stay in Powell but it doesn't matter if the course is close. I will be sure to check out river islands.

From Powell I'd say River Islands then Ruggles Ferry.

I have started the Best Ball Challenge thread for The Open Championship in the Endzone if anyone is interested.

Last chance to enter before tee times start tonight.

Every time I see the British Open I remember why the US Open has the second goofiest setup.

It's normally not this bad & you expect a little goofiness on links courses. Some of those pins are atrocious & if the wind does pick up any more it'll be impossible to keep the ball still on the greens.

@Keegan_Bradley On range after my round Miguel a Jimenez walked past me with aviator sunglasses, cigar and bottle of wine. Maybe he is the coolest man alive

LOL Have to love Jimenez. His stretching performance two years ago at the British was classic.

Keegan Bradley is the UNcoolest man alive.

Did you see Westwood's 400 yd drive? What's that, a smooth 6 iron for you?

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

got through 13 holes at river islands before having to leave for work. no thanks to the group in front of us on pace for a 5-5 1/2 hour round. such a joke.

Don't even know what article you are talking about but bet my post was before it because the post was soon after Bradley's tweet
