  • Interactions with kids/fans — signed baseball, memorable fan moments.
• Performance:
  • Multiple solid approaches, some blocked shots/tree hits, one “sick par” after aggressive play.
  • Overall positive takeaways; course recommended (good public course feel).

Day 2 — Coeur d’Alene Resort Course (Floating green)

• Warm-up: massage, range, hitting toward the lake.
• Course highlights:

  • Tight, true fairways; elevated tees and challenging pin locations.

• Final thoughts: Circling Raven highly recommended — peaceful, beautiful, worth repeat play.

Key Takeaways / Practical Info
