    Northbrook IL today, WOW !! ... (Sorry I lied)

    I had some unexpected free time today (you can only be written out of the will so many times before it starts getting old) so I decided to head up to Northbrook Sports Club in Hainesville IL http://www.northbrooksportsclub.org/

    I've said this before and I'll say it again, "Northbrook is one of the premier clubs in the USA". Great targets, great terrain, nice club house, hundreds of acres to use, and home of the 2015 U.S. Open Sporting Clays Championship (June 22-28) !!!

    They were setting up the Red Course for tomorrow's tournament, so I met up with an old friend and we shot the Green Course. Let me clarify this right now. I didn't shoot the red course, I didn't look at the targets on the red course, and in fact I'm not even sure what color the red course is.

    According the NSC the red course is their tournament course and the green course is set softer for us mere mortals. But here's the kicker, NSC's idea of "softer" is about 95% of what everybody else considers "tournament"

    They were great targets.

    When I spoke to Brett earlier in the week we talked about tournament distractions. Brett said planning next year's US Open was his distraction, I said mine was my camera, and I told him I was going to leave it at home.

    Sorry I lied, here are some pictures I already shot

    Heh...I went to high school with the son of the owner of Barnaby's. I used to hang out at that very restaruant when it was still in a field.

        If that chunk of meat in the lower right was described as "brisket", I would have gotten the hell out of there.
        True wealth is time. Time to enjoy life.

        Life's journey is not to arrive safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy schit...what a ride"!!

          I know that place. I grew up in Northbrook and went to Glenbrook North (where they filmed Ferris Bueller).

          There used to be a skeet range at the corner of Lake Cook and Pfingsten over a large drainage lake but that was years ago.
