Take the Tour: http://www.bolingbrookgolfclub.com/l...=227&page=7636 The course and amenities are really nice! Cool web-show! Nice club house! Nice island green, very cool. My course is a par 71 and a slope of 129. According to the USGA, I have a 13.8 index, which I have shot lower than all but one of the last 7 rounds. So, what I don't get is the idea that I would be 14 strokes over on your course, once, if I played it what, 3 times from the tips? There is no f'n way, not to mention how the wind blows in the Midwest. After 5-7 rounds I might learn some of the stroke saving shortcuts and shoot an 85. Maybe. We are playing Cedarbrook CC designed by Donald Ross on Tuesday, a small 72.5 par/ slope 137 in a GAP stableford event. If I use all my wits, and my Titleist NXT's, I'll feel like King Kong if I can hang an 80 on that course! So, what's an avg. round for you there? I will believe you!
