Weekend Chat: Freeform Golf

Club TFE,

Happy Friday. We hope you have a long weekend ahead of you and a cookout on the agenda. As far as fireworks go, just remember that most dogs hate them, and dogs are better than people. Anyway, the comment section is down yonder.

Club TFE Bulletin Board

We’re making a modest change to this section of your weekly chat post. Instead of just posting Club TFE updates, we’re also going to post any relevant notes from the membership. If you ever have anything you’d like included here, please shoot Will an email at members@thefriedegg.com.

• Club TFE member Adam Tomasiello is looking for a fellow Madison, Wisconsinite who would like to carpool to play Lawsonia Links on Sunday, July 9. If you’re interested, leave a note in the comment section below.
• Club TFE member gifts have started to ship and should be arriving shortly if you have not already received yours. Be on the lookout!
• We’re running a photography sale in the Fried Egg pro shop this weekend. Save 15% on all prints and posters with code KABOOM at checkout.

Your weekly question

This week’s Club TFE course profile was on Sheep Ranch, the fifth 18-hole course at Bandon Dunes. While we like the current iteration a lot, it’s hard not to yearn for the lost 13-green Doak design.

Did you ever have the chance to play the old Sheep Ranch? Or have you played another course that is unconventionally structured and more freeform? We’re curious to hear your thoughts and experiences.

Have a great weekend and thanks for supporting The Fried Egg!

(Liberty National is not the next Club TFE course profile. But happy 4th to our fellow Americans!)
