Through a friend I got a chance to play the TPC Snoqualmie Ridge course today. It has been the setting of the Boeing Classic Champions’ Tour event for the past several years as well as an LPGA tournament. From the blue tees it’s one of the tougher courses in the area with a 137 slope rating. After a shaky triple bogey eight on the first hole I settled down to play bogey golf over the next eight holes for a respectable 48 on the front nine finishing with a birdie 2 on the 180-yard par three ninth. After that, let’s just say things didn’t go so well and I ended up shooting well over 100. Nonetheless, it was a lovely fall day and great fun playing a very challenging PGA-level course in a spectacular setting.
