I thought you had the map. I've never counted myself among the lucky few who have even laid eyes up the map. The map? I thought you had the map.

I'm going to Vegas next week. Do you still have the map? Your effusive praise of my word-smithing reminds me. I’m going to Vegas next week. Do you still have the map?

Not being nearly the wordsmith you are, what I meant to write was "a total of 750 yards". Not actually 750 yards between each hole. Sorry Jim.

It's enough to have Scott Walker woozy with grief at the thought of all the watering and grass-cutting of essentially needless space. To say it's 750 yards between each green and tee is to say the land equivalent of two fair-sized par 4's exist between each hole. Now, Currie is clearly no Whistling Straits, so your estimate would mean there's probably a 170-yard par 3, followed by 750 yards of walking space to, say for example, a 410-yard par 4. That course would be the greatest walking workout of all time! There's no way I'm carrying the bag on that trip! However, your sunglasses were recovered against tremendous odds. Way to go.
