Although my trip did involve some personal "failures" on a golfing level, I can say with certainty I wasn't alone and golf misery definitely loves golf company. My golfing group all had a truly great time and it was a memorable trip. Pictured below is one of my good friends having the misfortune of finding, but not escaping, the dreaded coffin bunker on the 6th hole at Whistling Straits. It's fun watching the Ryder Cup team driving this green and making no worse than birdie and contrasting that with our luck, from much shorter tees, having maybe one in our foursome scratching out a par and others doing far worse. I love the fact that we, as golfers, can bond over our collective mistakes as much as we can our individual successes, and still root for each other, but laugh at each other and ourselves as well, when warranted.
I'm happy to finally get updated reviews of all these courses at the Kohler resorts and to relive some of the memories of my friends and me, whether positive or otherwise. There is one more famous Wisconsin course from our trip to review soon, so stay tuned.
