Well, judging by the number of votes this week, this category may not have been for everyone. Obviously Humboldt County is not a golfer. 

But! The linksmen who did take the time to click an arrow or two indicated that those who like to tee up in HumCo should head to the friendly city’s Redwood Empire Golf and Country Club. As one commenter noted, the private Fortuna course is “well taken care of” and sports “great greens.” Those sound like good things. If LoCO ever decides to swing a wood, we’ll know where to “Fore!”

PREVIOUSLY: All Past Humboldt Approved Winners

# # # # #

Thank you to all who took the time to vote in last week’s coffee shop poll. This week Humboldt Approved heads out to the links.

Tell us, LoCO readers, which is Humboldt’s best golf course?Like, we’re actually curious about this. Your Lost Coast Outpost will flat out admit that it don’t know jack about golf. Draw? Fade? These are opposites somehow, but of what we are unclear how or why. Since, we have no knowledge of this funny little game we’re gonna watch with great interest who y’all vote for this week in the event we decide to take up wood and iron. Who’s greens are the, uh … crap … greenest? (See, we got nothing here.)

Whatever. This is a one winner week. Here’s your weekly rundown of how voting works:

To vote, look through the comments of this Humboldt Approved poll. If someone has already nominated the answer you would give for that week’s category, click the upvote arrow. If you don’t see your desired Humboldt Approved answer nominate it in a comment for others to upvote.(Please be careful to not duplicate answers; redundant answers will be deleted and potential associated upvotes will be lost.) Feel free to make your case by replying to/cheering on the answer you love most, but again the number by the arrows on the initial nomination is what counts.

You can vote for as many nominees as you deem worthy but, of course, the more you do that the more watered down your initial vote becomes. That’s math.

We reserve the right to delete superfluous comments that make the voting/comment section hard to sift through. Please try not to get offended when your comment battle reply is deleted. We’re trying to do something here. While most weeks we look for two winners — one winner from the metropolises of Eureka and Arcata, and one from Humboldt’s smaller communities — this time we’re gonna limit it to one. Voting closes next Friday at noon and soon after a winner will be declared.

Let’s just get the “not disc golf” thing out of the way. We’ll get to you people. Now, please teach LoCO something about golf by pointing us to the best place to play it.
