Quint Valley entrance
Quint Valley Entrance – Porta Potty tells it all.

On a beautiful sunny autumn day, we were the only golfers on the course. Let me clarify this, we were the only people at the course. The “clubhouse” board stated, if there is no attendant (there was none), just put your $9 in the envelope and deposit it in the slot on the counter. We finally encountered someone at the third hole. He was the General Manager, Head Pro, Head Groundskeeper – you get the picture. The only other living thing we saw was a turtle slowly making his way across the fairway at #8.

The #1 white tee box and fairway are shared with the driving range. Kind of strange, but if no one is on the course or range, I guess it’s not a big deal. The fairways were a combination of grass, weeds and ruts. We played lift, clean and place because of the patchwork fairways. The greens? – not quite a combination of grass, weeds and ruts but they were not exactly smooth.

Tornado Alley? Not what you want to see on the open plains of eastern Colorado

Hole #6 is the best on the course. A short par 4 with two large trees fronting the green. I came sooooo close to driving my first par 4 – had the distance but not the “twards”. Hole #8 is one of the strangest I have ever seen. From the tee box we were not sure which way it was to the green (seriously). The scorecard showed it as a par 3 and the marker at the tee box described it as a par 4. We finally hopped in the cart for a trek to find the green. After the round we asked the General Manager, Head Pro, Head Groundskeeper about it and he said he had thought of briefing us about the hole (thanks a lot). He explained that it had started as a par 3, but now plays as a par 4, and it could possibly play to a 600 yard par 5 in the future. Stay tuned!

Double Bogey:  As Ed so profoundly noted about Quint Valley Golf Course – it is what it is. What it is, is a small town course built by locals and played by local residents. For the rest of us, take that $9, put it in your gas tank and head to Denver.

Wind, more wind, snow, cold, and more wind as we worked our way through Wyoming. If you’ve ever driven I-80 through Wyoming you know what I mean. Even though we didn’t play today, you can read my review of Little America Golf Course (from a prior round) at alwaytimefor9.com.  Day 2 of the #aurorauniversity golf bag travels. @jus10wyeth @auroraualumni
After 2 COVID-19 shots and a year away from travel, we are making our initial 2021 trip from our new home in Bend, OR to our old home in Ft. Collins, CO. We’ll be traveling the country looking to play with #aurorauniversity alumni. First stop is close to home at Juniper Golf Course in Redmond, OR. @auspartansports @auroraualumni @jus10wyeth.
A beautiful day in #centraloregon at @worthybrewing in Bend. Finally out and about after my 70+ two shot dose. Worthy was the first place we ate and drank during our initial stop in Bend. We liked it so much we decided to stay.
Meadow Lakes GC - Prineville, OR. First tournament of the year. Should have quit after the 2nd hole.
Awesome day in Central Oregon. The Greens at Redmond.
As we wait for the snow to melt, we travel back to 1998 and Sandpiper Golf Club in Santa Barbara, CA.
One more post from 2000 @pebblebeachresorts.
It’s difficult watching @attproam this time of year. It makes me want to go out and play, but all I see is this outside my door. Time for an Arizona trip.
Standing at the 8th tee box back in 2000. The boys 50/40 Trip. Two of us were 50 that year; two 40.  @pebblebeachresorts
