Thanks again to Avant for hosting play on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The Friday games (rounds 4 and 5) are in the link below, as well as the first Saturday game, Round 6.
Yesterday and today, we are at 400 E. Randolph. It's a hospitality room in a beautiful condominium building that was EAST of Lake Shore Drive until the S-curve was straightened a couple decades ago. It's a more intimate setting, just the right size for our players.
Saturday was the kind of beautiful early spring day meant for golf. Beautiful buildings built in the early 1960s are very good at keeping people warm in winter and cool in summer. But they are not engineered to handle weather surprises, such as an eighty-degree day in early spring..
Fortunately, the building management responded quickly, adding powerful fans to cool the room. All the heat in Round 7 came from the games: I'll have those up later today.
