The scorecard

Four things matter.

Forget slope and stimpmeter talk. Every course we play gets graded on what actually makes a round.

01

Course

Layout, conditions, and how bad it beat us up.

02

Views & Vibe

Would you post it? Be honest.

03

19th Hole

The patio, the bartender, the wings.

04

Beers

Always a 10. Don't ask questions.
