Ramagamma posted:WE GOT ALL THE GOLF HERE I am so pumped. I didn't think I'd ever get a chance to go back. I'm definitely playing Castle Stuart at least twice because I goddamn loved that course. I think we're also playing Royal Dornoch at some point. I don't know where else were playing yet.

thebushcommander posted:Anyone else notice that every year there is a discussion among golf media folk about whether or not The Players should be a major? Gotta find something to talk about in between majors, I guess. E: Honestly I think it's fine not being one. 4 Majors every year with the Ryder Cup happening every 2 is pretty good for big events.

I've been meaning to go to The Memorial for years now. Muirfield is gorgeous. Also I finally did it you guys. I took the plunge. I joined a country club

DoctaFun posted:Congrats, give us the deets! Toledo Country Club. Really nice place that they keep in great shape. Not much up and down, and 2 holes are up against a major roadway, but the last 3 holes run alongside the Maumee River and look spectacular. Should be perfect for taking out prospects and clients to have a good time, but not get beat up too hard by the course. Easily walkable if you want. I've played it quite a few times as a guest and finally decided to jump. Only about 10 minutes from my house and barely 15 from work.

Right on  Keyser S0ze posted:I'm playing down in Carmel, CA at Spyglass which I've never played before and the new revised Poppy Hills in two weeks. Gonna get my rear end handed to me but at least the coastal weather should be fantastic in between 8's and 4 putt's. Lucky to not be paying full list of $400 list for Spyglass since it's a tournament. Oh man take pictures of Spyglass so I can live vicariously though you. That's a drat dream course of mine.

thebushcommander posted:Soooo close to buying new irons.. I thought I had it narrowed down, but now I am back all over the place. If it's me, a low flight with a fade would bug me with my irons, but that's me. I want irons getting a ball up high and dropping more straight down. I think you could get adjusted to distance on new clubs more easily than to potentially a new flight path.

DoctaFun posted:big practice green with lots of pin locations and maybe some bunkers). This is huge if it's available. Dump a whole crate/shagger full of balls into the bunker and hit every single one out, no matter how close they are to others. It's amazing what this does to your sand game in short order. It's also amazing how quickly it gets you completely covered in bunker sand

Long as we're posting swing videos, I cannot recommend Payne Stewart enough if you want to work on your iron play. His tempo was phenomenal and a lot of these lessons get some great lag in your swing to make sure you're taking a divot ahead of the ball. He concentrated on taking the entire club back at once, not just pulling the clubhead first. Here's another good look

Wanna hit balls? Sure! Chip around the short game range all you want too! Wanna carry, push, or cart for a few holes? Go nuts! Wanna skip ahead a couple holes to get around a few groups? Be our guest! Golf loving owns. Memberships own. Everything owns. Goodbye productivity.

Looking at it, I'd say you played a drat good front 9, that's for sure. Speaking of goofy par 4s, I've been meaning to get back out to some Pete Dye courses around my area. Dude was known for 3 things: Short par 4s Teeeeeeeeeeeeny tiny greens Old wood railroad ties in bunkers They're very much meant for shotmakers and can be a lot of fun. Also I'll be damned if I haven't just loved hitting 4W off the deck at every tee box these days. It has to be some mental thing where I'm not thinking about how the tee has to be just the right height, and not to try to kill the ball, etc. I'm just dropping it, taking one practice swing, and hitting the drat thing with my giveashit meter pegged as low as possible and it's amazing how well it works.

mattfl posted:Florida golfing people, any of you played the course at the Waldorf Astoria? Gonna take my dad there Sunday to play for Fathers day. If you mean the one in Orlando, yes. It's a very well-maintained course and some pretty good greens. Pace was really slow one day but I think that was because we were there the day of some big outing. Lot of water to play some fun risk/reward situations as well. You'll both enjoy it. And CONGRATS MR. BT

shyduck posted:What's a good drill for follow-through? I feel as if I have a mental block with it, like after I hit the ball I want to stop movement and have my club out in front of me. A weighted club (or swinging two clubs) can help you get the feel for following fully through and getting your hands high

Yeah, I'm gonna totally post a gigantic trip report with a bunch of pictures either once I'm back or day-by-day if I can like I did a couple years ago. Apologies in advance because i'm probably gonna hijack the thread

UnionCarbide posted:I'm finally getting my game back to where it was before I hurt my shoulder. The most recent change I've made is fixing my takeaway. I'm not really sure what the hell happened to it but it sure as hell wasn't a one piece. Apparently, I have lately been hinging my wrists first thing instead of turning my shoulders and hips, but that's mostly fixed now. The one drawback is I need to adjust my aim point, I managed to miss to the left a lot. Whoa, what's that Pace of Play stat at the bottom? Never seen that before. I had one of my best 9 hole rounds ever today. Didn't even get a chance to warm up, just walked onto the 1st tee to get ahead of a couple foursomes and went to work.

UnionCarbide posted:Oh, I have a SkyCaddie, so it uses the time between entering scores as your pace of play for each hole. Every now and then it gets thrown off if you don't enter a score as you're walking off the green or whatever, but it's still accurate for the entire round. hahaha nice. That pace of play thing is kinda clever too, I dig it. I'm gonna try to get at least 2 rounds in between now and Sunday. Scotland's coming up in just over a week oh my god you guys

cstang posted:I only use it for yardage if I'm no where near a marker. I have never used the shot tracking feature, I just enter my score while I'm on my way to the next tee. Yeah, this. I use it to get distances and log everything after I'm done. Quite honestly you really can't use it to log every shot as you go because it's a separate screen from the distance listings. E: OK I guess you kinda could but it would be really clunky.

There's an amateur at -8 at Greenbrier, and his name is Maverick. Awesome. Also Greenbrier owns and if you ever have a chance to go, I really recommend you do.

Josh Lyman posted:The Scottish Open starts Thursday. The Open is next week! We honest to god were really tempted to get Open (the British one, not the Scottish one) tickets until we looked at costs. We're also playing Castle Stewart at least once, where they've already hosted a couple Scottish Opens if memory serves. Hell of a course and I'm hype as hell to go back.
