Friday July 21, 2023 - Colorado Open

 Just when you thought things couldn't get much better on this trip, we went to the restaurant at the golf course on Wednesday afternoon and our new friend Barry was there as usual.   He was chatting with one of the pro golfers (named Jackson Foth) who's in the tournament and he introduced us.   Jackson is from Kansas and is super nice, but he was a little bummed that he just got into town and didn't have enough time to play a practice round.

Barry asked him, "What about your caddie, is he at least familiar with the course?"

Jackson replied, "Unfortunately, I don't have a caddie."

Barry then said, "You should get Trevor here to be your caddie - he's played the course every day for the last six weeks - he knows it inside and out..."

Jackson asked, "Trevor, what do you shoot when you play this course?"

Trevor replied, "I shot a 79, then an 80 on Tuesday."

Jackson said, "Well let's do this!"

 Played a practice round on Friday and the boy did much better than the last couple of weeks.   No question he plays much better on good courses.   Today he had three shit holes that did him in (+10 on those holes) but went +4 on the other 15.   Crazy.   Finished with an 86.   So much better than the last couple of weeks on those shitty courses. Lauren and Doug came out to watch the front nine.

Monday July 26, 2021: Castle Rock, CO

 The boy and I had an absolute blast with Cliff and his buddy Normy.   Normy looks very much like Jim Furyk.   I LOVED this course - lots of elevation changes in a gorgeous setting.   The kid shot an 81 and notched his 10th birdie of the year when he drove the green on the short par four 9th hole and two putted from the first cut.   His reward was a ride in Uncle Cliff's Ferrari back to his place where we hung out for a couple of hours before our flight home.

 The kid won his 3rd school tournament at Shalimar by 6 strokes.   He was +5 on nine holes and was pretty consistent.
