A few moments stand out:
Hitting it to a foot on 2 and hitting the pin on 15 at Prairie Dunes while playing with a pair of the most accommodating and friendly locals I've ever met.
A drunken night-putting contest at Wolf Run that lasted until 2am, with a Golden Tee nightcap.
The Minnesota Midwest Mashie. Seven courses in six days with incredible weather, great teammates and opponents, and a repeat East victory (no thanks to me!).
An unexpected round at Holston Hills after mentioning to a good friend of mine that I'd be in town for a night. He sent me a message a few days before the visit telling me when to show up for our tee time. It was the first I'd heard of him even trying to get us one, and the course and company were both excellent.
The first 26 holes of my local club championship, after which I stood second in my flight before yanking one OB on the ninth tee and nearly killing a poor girl walking her dog. It went downhill from there, but those first 26 were fun.
Playing with an old friend at Colorado Golf Club and listening to the thunder in the distance after every hole trying to gauge whether we were still safe or not. We finished just as the horn blew and went into the clubhouse and watched the downpour roll across the course while we had lunch.
And finally...
An unexpected fourball match at Cherry Hills with three PGA professionals. They boasted Walker Cup, Masters, US Open, and PGA Championship appearances between them, while I boasted a few Midwest Mashie appearances. We played off scratch from the tips and I broke 90 and contributed a couple of holes to a hot partner, who carried us the rest of the way. It was an incredibly fun day on a truly great classic layout.
