    A 13 playing Highland Park and Farmlinks in the same day is going to be real frustrated when he shoots 63 in the morning and 103 in the afternoon.

    Ross Bridge and Oxmoor are the hardest but if you play the right tee boxes you’ll be ok.

    first hole is drivable with a hybrid and it's straight downhill. that's the course you play after you've had a few rough rounds at the RTJs

    I stumbled upon the Perry's Steakhouse website and it looked amazing. Then I realized it's a chain.

    I wouldn’t call Helen a steakhouse, but it’s definitely the main event there. And it’s best one Ive had in Bham.

    Ross Bridge from the tips is one of the longest courses in the world. Don’t be scared to play down a tee box.

    I once accidentally hit into a group on the green with a 3 iron. They were pissed like I meant to do it.

    I grabbed a reservation here just in case I can convince the other guys to drop that kind of money. I'm trying to find a picture of the 85 dollar dry aged strip the sell.

    What's a more casual spot with good food to watch games on a Saturday night?

    paramount’s solid for this. Not always the most comfortable spot to sit for a long time though.

    We are slightly lacking in quality sports bars but a good approximation is a brewery with a good food truck for the evening—or just back forty brewery, which has tremendous food always

    Their sours are incredible. That tiki/beach collection they've had going is really good. The light visions series is extremely good. Trim Tab is far and away the best brewery in Birmingham and one of the best in the southeast . It's not even up for debate. Literally if you think otherwise you're an idiot.

    I was much more diplomatic in my response, but this perfectly reflects my sentiment. They even have a high hit rate on their random releases. They do a New Zealand Pilsner! And it's fire!

    Their "Lay Low" session IPA is fantastic, too. I drank no fewer than a thousand of them over the course of the summer.
