The Setup
This week we’re joined by Harrison Carter, a VP of strategic marketing from Boca Raton, Florida, who picked up golf three years ago when his first kid was born and hasn’t looked back since. He went from shooting 120 to an 11 handicap — and he’s been loading up on golf trips ever since.
The Format
Harrison’s buddy got married at Edgewood in South Lake Tahoe. What started as “should I bring my clubs?” turned into a full-blown golf trip with back-to-back rounds at one of the most scenic courses in the country — all while squeezing in wedding duties between tee times.
The Hot Takes
- Edgewood Tahoe — $500/round in summer, $600+ in season, and worth every penny for the views alone
- Elevation golf is real — Harrison’s 290-yard driver turned into 330+ at 7,000 feet. Took him a full round to adjust
- The wedding-golf balance — the groom showed up to the wedding fine, but the crew definitely did their part to “help” him celebrate
- Best-score-per-hole format — take your best score from each hole across multiple days and combine them. Works great with mixed handicaps
- Lake Tahoe in summer — perfect weather, casinos downtown, and the American Century celebrity tournament course at your fingertips
The Run-It-Back
Harrison would run it back in a heartbeat. His advice: fly into Reno, stay off-property to save cash, and play Edgewood at least twice to get your elevation numbers dialed in. And if your buddy’s getting married there — definitely bring the clubs.
