Wisconsin golf trip day 4

7/7/2017

0 Comments

 
Day 4 was the big day where we get to play the Straits course which has hosted several PGA events and is hosting the Ryder Cup in 2020.  Due to rain outs from yesterday we couldn't get on until noon which meant we'd only play one round. 
Since it was a noon tee time we decided a hot tub session would help with the soreness.  Ted also thought a 9am beer would help so I figured I'd give it a try too.  After leaving the hot tub I caught another very quick nap and then it was off to the course.  I started out playing decent but that quickly changed and it was another struggle.  The caddie would tell me one thing and I'd do the exact opposite which became a running joke.  I did manage to put one ball in Lake Michigan after it hit off the rip rap.  The course is awesome of course with close to 1000 sand traps and numerous elevation changes but the greens were easier than at Blackwolf Run.  With a few holes left I waved another white flag and moved up from the green tees to the white tees which helped some but it was still long.  After the five hour walk around the course we headed to the car and the hotel before going to supper.
After going through several choices we decided on Bourban Street Pub for some cajun.  Beth brought some cheese curds for appetizers which were fresh that morning.  Maybe the best food I had all weekend.  I had a couple of Leinenkugels Anniversary beer which was pretty good but not in the top I'd had up there.  I had the cajun sampler but substituted jambalaya for the cajun mac and cheese.  I also got gumbo as a side not thinking that it was part of the sampler but it ended up real good.  The jambalaya was solid but the blacken fish was just ok, no real blacken flavor but overall really good place.
The streets by the ice cream parlor were blocked off for fireworks so we headed back to the hotel dreading the end of the trip the next day.
