... It's a straight par four with a nightmare green ...
Tight fairway ... I can see a 6 on the card with my inconsistency off the tee.

This has to be the toughest Par 3 I have played - Algonquin Resort in St. Andrews, NB. 140 yards with trouble all around that small landing area - most notably that little body of water called the St. Croix River - a tributary of the Bay of Fundy. Oh ... and the ocean wind ( it ain't no breeze!!) is always in your face.

Your tee sir ... what club?

... I'm impressed! ...
The fallout from driving for Beck Taxi in the late 1970's. We primarily serviced the east end of the city and the western parts or Scarberia. It looked like the mainly residential areas of Scarberia and eastern North York. It didn't remind me of Etobicoke and similar parts west.
... It's the scar... My doors were locked ...
Sadly ... since I drove a cab I was not able to lock the doors. Just a little bad for business ...

On average, how many ounces are you trimming per harvest?
Last few harvest have been 25 to 30oz.

I love birchmount. I can scoot down to kingston and take it west way faster than than the DVP and Eastern.

Looks challenging.
Here's a pic from one of our desert courses, Maranna AZ. 11th at Quarry Pines, shooting across a quarry to a green that sits on a point of land with 50 foot drop offs on 3 sides into the prevailing wind. You either hit the green or make double or worse.

It's not terrible. $207 with the 20% off coupon. Kinda annoying I paid $399 cad for mine. >:(

Wow, that's a deal. I was expecting $500+ for all that stainless!!

I just watched a YouTube video on it....the only one I could find, but it does look cool.

I usually give my helper an ounce or more every time, so this would pay for itself quick....at least in theory.

I trimmed five plants in a few hours with it. Normally that would take me all day.

You are hauling double what I am hauling out of my 2 x 4. And if I had to trim 25 oz. and above I might look to one of those.

But I am now intrigued with those "fun to spinney spin spin" trimmers ... @Rsawr - any recommendations?

Oh yeah ... Kingston Rd is great for getting downtown from the east end. Eastern Ave. between Broadview to Leslie is an aging part of the city. Most of those places in that area could use a good paint job.

I got a 19" bowl trimmer on amazon. It's the vivosun version. It was on sale for 90 bucks, but I think they are usually 119ish. I got that one because it had three different blade options for different levels of dryness. It takes maybe 20 seconds for each spin. And a 12ish ounce plant took me three spins. I only take off fan leaves.

I would put a double on the card playing that hole - I did playing that hole along the river.
