Day 2 in Chi-town started off rather early for us west-siders. My cousins and I hit up The SprinkBrook Golf Course in Naperville. Tee time was 7:18am CST (5:18am for me) for the back 9. Had some delicious homemade burnt bacon and sausage and off to the course we went. Course was a beaut. The [...]

And we all got dumped on, the mountains and the low lands. Roads were horrendous for days because cities [...]
