Finally made it out to Bandon for the first time last week...absolutely amazing. It was pretty foggy for our first round the afternoon we arrived, but after that, the weather was entirely perfect. And if one foggy round was the only "bad" part about the weather...not sure I'll ever get so lucky with weather if I ever go back.
It definitely took some planning to make it out there, but it was totally worth it, and can highly recommend it to anyone who may be thinking about it!

We had the annual 4bbb (four ball better ball) at our club on Saturday. 36 holes in the heat.. it was tough slog and our course...along with pretty much everyone else is taking a bit hit with the weather. You wouldn't think we have fairway watering but it's not having any impact. Im not sure what it will be like when it does decide to rain but feel it could end up a mud bath.

@Brodie that looks phenomenal

@AdamJ @guiltyparty It truly was. And the crazy part is the pictures really don't do it justice.
Magical place.

@Brodie what an amazing time! And perfect weather. Was it worth having caddies? I hear it’s a must

@Brock Oh ya, you definitely need caddies for the five big courses. There are a decent amount of shots where you have no idea where to hit to. And when you can see, it really helps when they can give you a more specific aim point to help set up your next shot. And most of the greens aren't too terrible to read, but it was definitely helpful to have their guidance on putts, as well.
We had two guys that had played all the Bandon courses before and they were highly considering skipping the caddies this time around, but ended up using them. Granted they played the courses five years ago, but after using them again this time, both said they felt that the caddies were still necessary and would have been lost without them.

Need some advice. I’d like to put a couple “heritage” adjacent golf outfits together but would kind of like the pants to have a little stretch. Any companies you guys recommend? Trying to steer pretty clear of the athleisure wear trend

Foot Joy or Peter Millar for the more traditional stuff I'd say. I wear mostly Under Armour trousers which are nice and stretchy - granted, probably classed as an atheleisure brand

@SKT not sure if this is heritage adjacent, but have been wearing these in the inclement weather and they are great

@SKT I'm a fan of Redvanly pants. I like the Calvin model...the material is a little thicker with some texture (so it doesn't have as much of that athleisure look), but also super comfortable for golf. A ton of colors to chose from, as well:
