Golf Season in Chicago...

Is over, I think.  Raw and rainy today, and can't imagine teeing it up on this side of the pond in this weather.  Honestly, the last time I played was 9 holes at Willow Hill on 10/22 - shot two over par on that underrated gem on top of the landfill - I highly recommend playing there if you don't have time for a full 18.

So, I'm starting this blog because I love golf, I've played a lot, and I want to share my experiences of golf with other golfers who might be as like-minded as I am.

I currently play to a 3.8 index, so my observations may be skewed towards a more technical aspect of the game - I have little patience for 18+ handicappers who only ride in golf cars and think it is fine to take 5 hours to play a round, so if you are one of those folks, you may want to stop reading (and invest in some lessons and pace of play help).  Sorry - golf is more fun when played briskly and politely.

I'm probably going to recount some experiences that I had with the courses that I played in 2010 in Chicago - hopefully my observations will entertain and help you decide which courses might be fun to play.
