It was a long course. I think the shortest par 3 we played was 190ish. A couple monster par 4s. I shot an 84 and was thrilled with that score. 

 
those watermelon incidents can be extremely hazardous  :ohnoes

much like my corn on the cob holder fiasco a couple summers ago...

 
I guess this is one way to shoot par....

I have played rounds that look eerily similar...well, not the 29 part, but 1 or 2 over on the front and 7-8 over on the back (or vice versa)

 
Played Johnny Goodman over the weekend. Forgot how undulated those greens were. Every pin seemed like it was on the side of a hill. 33 putts on the day with 2 chips ins.

Got a good laugh out of that. Even though it's an older course I enjoy playing there. Actually makes you hit different golf shots compared to some courses around here that are wide open and you can miss 3 fairways either way

I used to work for the city at Westwood Heights golf course, so we call Gene all the time.

I liked playing Applewood/Johnny Goodman.  It wasn't a bad track for a muni.

The city courses have come a long way. Benson is usually in pretty good shape. I prefer Benson/Knolls/Goodman any day over Pac Springs/Stone Creek/Tiburon. 

Buddy and I went and played Indian Creek a few weeks back. To me that's the best value course in the city.

I like playing nice well maintained old courses.  

When I lived in Des Moines, Wakonda Country Club was fun because it was just so different than newer courses.  

If I remember right, it's the oldest course west of the Mississippi.  Huge old trees, tight fairways, up and down hills and small greens.
