I had the opportunity to play Erin Hills twice in high school for the Lake Country Charity Invitational. If you don't know, it's a great tournament for a great cause that routinely raises thousands of dollars for the MAAC fund. There really couldn't be a better course to host a tournament for such an important cause. Unfortunately the first time I played the tournament, it was about 35 degrees out with 15-25 mph winds and a driving rain and the round got called after about 10 holes. That year I started on the 4th hole and I was in the process of playing the 14th when it got called. I won't lie, the weather made things miserable but the course made it probably as enjoyable as a round of golf can be in those conditions. The year after that, however, we got pretty much the best conditions possible for April in Wisconsin which allowed the course to be experienced in its full glory. I tend to play my best on links style courses and managed a 76 in my first full round on the challenging layout despite 4 three-putts. I'm looking forward to trying to qualify for the Wisconsin State Am there this summer
