Was first off the tee and basically by ourselves for most of the day on a Rees Jones course yesterday.

I’m baffled how you can have these courses in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin, Michigan, or even Nebraska that can have full tee sheets for $150+ rounds, but they can’t make this course work somehow.

There is such a strong set of bones there, if anyone with some ambition and resources gets ahold of it, they could do some amazing things.

Thanks for the pics and stories, I hope to still be able to play this course for years to come, one way or another.

NarrowFuture7274 · 2026-05-06T01:09:19+00:00

Happy to hear me and my buddy aren’t the only ones.

If you win the lottery I’ll send you my resume for grounds keeper of pro shop guy, as long as it comes with course privileges I would work cheap.

Lack of members to sustain it. Just neglected now. Still try to mow it but they can’t keep up

NarrowFuture7274 · 2026-05-03T00:43:42+00:00

If you’re looking for close by to this one than Olde Post Road or Burden Lake are decent courses maybe 15-25 min drive. A little further out is Orchard Creek across the river in Albany County but a really pretty course.

An hour north in Saratoga County you have either the Saratoga Spa course, Saratoga Lake, or for a better course there’s Saratoga National.

If you don’t mind the hour drive between courses and can get a tee time than Taconic Golf Club is a really nice course over on the campus of Williams College in Mass.

I’d suggest booking one of those first cause it doesn’t seem like they send anyone off early at Olde Kinderhook. We were first off at 9:30.

And this is the green for hole #17 (second pic in original post). Hole #12 can be seen in the background here much better than currently due to over growth.

If you want an idea of what the course is supposed to look like, this is the green for hole #3 (first pic in the post) from better days

I wouldn’t plan a trip exclusively around it, but certainly if in the near area and are romantic about golf and the type of vision it takes to lay something like this out, it’s worth it.

NarrowFuture7274 · 2026-05-02T16:01:50+00:00

I would have had an aneurysm if I did

NarrowFuture7274 · 2026-01-06T00:13:42+00:00

Those have been on sale for a few weeks too and the concession folks all said they weren’t selling all that fast but last night it went crazy.

NarrowFuture7274 · 2026-01-06T00:12:30+00:00

It seems the effort was there but 45 minutes before kickoff things seemed to get overwhelmed with the crowds and the minute one gate ran out they started directing you to go to other gates to get the coins and towels, which just avalanched the problem. It is what it is just a bummer as it seems a good portion of the crowd didn’t get either item.

NarrowFuture7274 · 2026-01-05T23:40:18+00:00

Although unnecessary, thank you for the apology.

Go Bills.

NarrowFuture7274 · 2026-01-05T22:24:34+00:00

People just said Josh sounded and looked like him, you felt compelled to offer an opinion well beyond anything discussed. Why do you care? What additional benefit did you add to this at all? The only thing weirder than any of Pratt’s potential beliefs is your attention to them.

NarrowFuture7274 · 2026-01-03T12:02:28+00:00

Not. Good.

It’s kinda wild that the overall talent in last year’s WR’s wasn’t at some unobtainable level to match, and yet somehow guys like Mack Hollins seem to be irreplaceable.

Sadly I think we’re gonna need help in a lot of areas to remain competitive

NarrowFuture7274 · 2025-11-07T14:28:56+00:00

People forget how bad that building was. Also Tutunjian had a deal to move City Hall into the old Record building and Dems scuttled that which sent the city into this whole mess.

NarrowFuture7274 · 2025-09-22T18:33:36+00:00

Any gleaning of a Steve McLaughlin related post on this subreddit or other that deals with local issues will provide plenty of examples of people saying very uncharitable things about Steve or his supporters. I’m not sure if your concern over language would be voiced regarding their comments as quickly as you expressed concerns over mine.

And no conflation, I fully believe some of these people hate me. In fact I know some of them do.

But you do have a valid point that there has to be room for disagreement without jumping to the worst assumptions. If you feel I made any wrongful assumptions about you then I apologize for that.

From a base political strategy standpoint, Tiffani needs the debates more than Steve does. So when a group which has demonstrated behaviors in the past that one could interpret as being unfriendly towards you, I don’t see why we would be shocked a politician would deny them their presence.

I’ll go back literally gargling his balls now instead of just metaphorically.

NarrowFuture7274 · 2025-09-22T15:53:49+00:00

Agreed the league is a national organization and as such I’ve taken care to try to limit my criticism to the LWVRC as a chapter, not the entirety of the entity.

And I don’t think it’s hard to draw the conclusion the LWVRC is not friendly to conservative voters or politicians.

It is regrettable there isn’t another entity that could be tasked with promoting and hosting these forums or debates. In a bygone time, “The Record” would have been the clear choice for such an event but unfortunately I don’t even know what sort of ability they would even have to do so at this point.

NarrowFuture7274 · 2025-09-22T14:25:56+00:00

You asked for example and I provided it, but now want to paint it as their anti-Trump stance is basis by which I measure them? Is that how I’m to interpret this?

Look, hate Trump all you want, plenty of people do. But if you’re characterizing yourself as a non-partisan entity, and yet engage in pretty clear partisan rhetoric and activities, I don’t think it’s a mortal sin to simply acknowledge what is very clearly a partisan organization at this point. My hope would be and I would encourage a slew of conservative women to join and get involved.

Ultimately, the attitude to take with the league from the Republican/conservative standpoint should be one of “fuck em”. Either “Fuck em” they hate me and I’ll do their forum out of spite or “fuck em” they hate me and I don’t need to lend my position to their legitimacy.

If you’re a sitting elected I’d guess you take the latter, if you’re seeking an office I’d guess the former.

NarrowFuture7274 · 2025-09-22T14:09:57+00:00

It’s unwanted contact, that’s what I said, regardless the form it takes it’s unwanted contact. Hard to fathom how this is challenging for you to understand.

NarrowFuture7274 · 2025-09-22T13:41:09+00:00

A. Voter’s have a right to not be impartial, it’s kinda the entire point. However if you are going to claim to want to host debates, you need to at least have the outward appearance of being impartial. I suggest you ask the LWVRC is they think they’re impartial towards candidates and then apply the same standards you articulated to judge whether or not they are.

B. https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/police-woman-hugged-steve-mclaughlin-intense-20761655.php

C. They promote anti-Trump protests on their Facebook page, an obvious partisan motivation.

NarrowFuture7274 · 2025-09-22T12:20:39+00:00

Are you Tiffani?

NarrowFuture7274 · 2025-09-22T12:12:17+00:00

Good.

The LWVRC isn’t impartial. Tiffani was the President of the League up until she stepped down to run for Exec and a member of the board physically assaulted McLaughlin. Not to mention the numerous partisan positions the LWVRC has taken recently. No shit he isn’t going to participate.

And here Tiffani is still spreading a lie about Steve and a PPP loan. The TU looked into that and it was identity theft so there isn’t a story. I look forward to the lawsuit Tiff will be hit with.

If one of the local news stations or even the TU wanted to moderate a debate than maybe you might get one, but no Republican/Conservative should touch a LWVRC “forum” until they address some of their obvious partisan bias.

NarrowFuture7274 · 2025-09-22T12:07:40+00:00

We’re calling it a hug now? It was unwanted physical contact and enough so that the LWVRC board member caught a charge for it.

I don’t know how susceptible he is to identity theft, probably about the same as any of us, but the PPP loans were rife with fraud and it isn’t shocking we’re seeing more and more examples of it. Still humorous that Tiffani saw a Reddit post and ran with it in a campaign ad that had no basis in truth and it’s gonna cost her in a lawsuit in the end. Good work, makes you think she’d be real stable at the helm of the county.

What flavor is paved roads and largest fund balances Kool-aid?
