The latest landmark in the Streak proved to be the best course to date and probably forever. Gerry Hickel made an offer in about 2008 that if we would get to 100, we should celebrate it at Oakmont. Years later and much to the credit of Hick, he made it happen. Quat, Nuttall and Mr. Jill teamed up with Hick for an amazing day.
Arriving early and treated to 1st class operations all around, the foursome had a late afternoon tee time. The course was as advertised and the weather held up for the most part. 3 thunder delays were no issue as we got to spend some additional time on one of the world’s great courses. After the round, we had a meal and walked around the grounds and just took in the history that comes with such a special place.
The pictures came out great and the efforts of earlier parts of the streak were rewarded. The 100th round was in the books, but that was a subplot for the most part as Oakmont was, and always is the story. Hick was an incredible host and our appreciation may never be fully expressed for a great, great day.
