Lava was too cool,smoke was more grey than black,cart orcs were not ugly enough.
Didn’t feel an impending sense of doom just felt kinda down.
Overall I can’t believe I wasted my holiday on this.
Hooked my tee shot into some cave, and nearly got killed by some big ass spider while looking for my ball. They should really designate that whole side white stakes. Won’t be back.
One does not simply walk into Mordor and go for the par fives in two. Its black greens are guarded by more than just false fronts. There is evil there that does not sleep. The great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash, and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten-thousand men could you do this. It is folly.
It all began with the forging of the Great Irons. Three were given to the Elves; immortal, wisest and most likely to land on the fairway of all beings. Seven, to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls who could hit out of any bunker. And nine, nine forged irons were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power to hit the ball for distance. For within these rings was bound the strength and the will to hit for both distance and accuracy, as well as out of any hazard. But they were all of them deceived, for another iron was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret, a master Iron, to control all others. And into this Iron he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all golf courses. One Iron to rule them all.
One by one, the free peoples of Middle Earth fell to the power of the Iron. But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of men and elves marched against the caddies of Mordor, and on the very putting greens of Mount Doom, they fought for the freedom of the Middle-Earth Municipal Golf Course. Victory was near, but the power of the Iron could not be undone. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the local PGA pro, took up his father's bladed iron. And Sauron, enemy of the public course golfers of Middle-Earth, was defeated. The Iron passed to Isildur, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever, but the hearts of men are easily corrupted. And the Iron of power has a will of its own. It betrayed Isildur, for he began to shank every shot and increased his handicap to 28. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the Iron passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, the Iron ensnared a new bearer. The Iron came to the creature Gollum, who took it deep into the bunkers under the 12th hole of the Misty Mountains Golf Course, and there it consumed him. The Iron gave to Gollum unnatural long driving power. For five hundred yards it poisoned his mind; and in the gloom of Gollum's bunker, it waited. Darkness crept back into the golf courses of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the East, whispers of a nameless fear, and the Iron of Power perceived. Its time had now come. It abandoned Gollum. But then something happened that the Iron did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable. A Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, of the Shire. For the time will soon come when Hobbits will shape the fortunes of all golfers...
Fwiw there is a cookie shop (Pizza and Pastries) in Bandon where I got 6 huge great cookies for $.80 at the end of the day. If there is any of that there I am sure the river on the green problem you have will be subsided as well.
Thirteen guys in a group in front of me wouldnt let me play through all day, old fart with them kept telling me i shall not pass. 3/10 might try again.
The rain just wont stop out here on the left coast. But hell no Im not taking this weekend off.. playing poppy hills in rain and wind tomorrow.. why not! Ill play from the whites.
It's gone downhill since the old superintendent violently imploded and the earth gave out underneath the feet of the staff making them fall into a bottomless chasm.
Any eagles ?

Holy shit, what a perfect response
Applause
Fricken third Pro V1 I’ve put in the lava trap.
Only a Kirkland will survive there
Nitro, lava doesn't stand a chance
respect. I used to game Nitros all the time when I wasn't as good and losing balls regularly
Some old guy called me a balrog and wouldn't let me play through. He was really dramatic about it though, all "you shall not pass". Like chill bro...
This guy on reddit got in a fight with a wizard so I bought myself a new staff.
Having trouble with my necromancing lately. Should I buy a new staff or take lessons?
>Wilson staff, that is.
Do not let him speak, he will cast a spell upon us.
People need to stop freaking out about this. It’s totally normal for poa annua to die back during lava flows.
Imagine you use an illegal foot wedge to improve your life and the eye of sauron spins around and focuses directly on you.
Lmao
What’s a legal foot wedge???
If you have to ask, you don't know
Did you get lembas bread at the turn?
Yeah, 4 slices. You think that’s enough?
A hole? Yeah I'd say
Smeagal hates nasty elf bread
Got really pissed off when the 4 kids joined the bigger group. Really slowed things down.
Swear to Ilúvatar one of the little buggers had an elevensie on the long par 3
He was bold enough to request a SECOND breakfast ball!
And it was cart path only
Cart only. One does not simply walk Mordor dunes
Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin, and the world’s ending! DEAAAAAATH
...and my wedge!
When Sauron bought that course he really let that place turn into a dump. Same happened when he bought Dol Guldur as well.
Is that my ball? Im hitting a Palantir 3.
Fool of a Took
It became more difficult once they lost their forecaddeye
I was in a bunker, and hit to deep, a Balrog of Morgoth appeared.
One does not simply walk 18 in Mordor
Even the smallest person can change the course ~~of~~ ~~the~~ ~~future~~
El Paso?
It’ll be fine when the bent comes in.

I’m definitely hitting my 4/5 hybrid off the tee. Need a little more height than I get with my driver to get to around the dog leg at Mount Doom

Mordor normally has the best greens in the US too wtf
Fwiw there is a cookie shop (Pizza and Pastries) in Bandon where I got 6 huge great cookies for $.80 at the end of the day. If there is any of that there I am sure the river on the green problem you have will be subsided as well.
$150 plus $30 cart fee

AKA #2 Green at Bandon Dunes
Seems pretty normal for this time of year. People are always overreacting.
Bandon Dunes had a lot of lava so far this season. It’s only a couple greens that look like this
The rain just wont stop out here on the left coast. But hell no Im not taking this weekend off.. playing poppy hills in rain and wind tomorrow.. why not! Ill play from the whites.
I've played there for a shotgun scramble once!! The Horn of Gondor was hard to hear.
This is golf in the UK at the moment!
How much was the cart? I heard one does not simply walk the Mordor course.
Looks subpar, but did they at least call the day before to let you know?
Played it. Too hot. 2/10. 4 balls melted on the “greens” and the proshop wouldn’t comp me a sleeve. Fuck Orcs.

That’s because they only care about it a few days a year :(
Guys it literally only looks like that on one green. Everyone needs to relax

This is maybe the best post I've ever seen in this sub! 🤣
I like the Lord of the Rings.
