To Golf or not to Golf.

Her grip is all jacked up!

(you guys noticed her grip right?)

 

Played a local course here on Tuesday. This green was like 100’ long, and had a ridge in the middle of it. Freaking awesome!

 

Couple of courses I played last week. Difficult, but amazing.

Sweetens Cove - South Pittsburg, Tennessee (about 30 minutes from Chattanooga)


Old Toccoa Farm - Blue Ridge, Georgia (90 minutes north of Atlanta)

 

never played either of those, although I’m only like 30 minutes from sweeten’s cove.

I’m coming to play 27 at Dandridge on Sunday.

And 18 on Lambert on Saturday.

 

Nice scenic courses. They don't look to forgiving, bet the slope rating is in the 140's +

 

I love the game. Started golfing at the age of 40. I volunteered for the 2020 Ryder Cup. I will be on the 18th hole tee box.

 

I'll be walking the Houston Open on 10/12. Cant wait!

Love the game, try and play about once every couple weeks. Typically stay around 78-82, but been playing better recently. Best round was a 74 at the Golden Nugget Course in Lake Charles with my pops.

 

Leaving at 2:45 today for a 3:30 tee time

 

17 more days, me and some buddies of mine are going on a 5 day/5 round golf retreat in Truckee/Reno area!

Lincoln Hills (Hills course)
Lake Ridge
Toiyabe
Squaw Creek
Nakoma (the Dragon)

 

Man, I’ve been playing like DOG MEAT lately.
The only club I feel great with is my putter...but that isn’t what I want to use tee 2 green.

It’s almost like I have to actually get some practice in. My typical par is blast off the tee, short side myself on the approach and chip for a 1 putt. Hard recipe for birdies doing that.

 

How many seeing courses closing up left and right with COVID19 scares? Only have like a handful left open and even my club is shut down.

 

I just played today but many courses are shutting down. It’s going to be a looooong summer.

 

Who the hell has time ?

May I ask what simulator your using..nevermind I notice the skytrak. I was looking into one myself. Super jealous

 

Unfortunately i don’t have enough height due to garage door opener and rails

 

My club is still open with a lot of new rules, no range, no locker room access, no lounge, pins stay in, raised holes so not everyone is sticking there hand in the cup... but feeling like any day it’s gonna close. Seems like a golf course is the perfect place for social distancing. Really gonna suck if they close it

 

Still got out today...

 

We had 3 more great condition courses close today.

 

I like the SkyTrak a lot. It’s accurate. I use it mainly as a driving range in my basement. I’ve bought software that allows you to play courses but I can’t get into it. I just hone my swing on the driving range and use the other features for my short game.
If you get to a point where you’re in the market, look at the new Flightscope. It uses Doppler radar like the 30,000 dollar models but has a price the same as the Skytrak.

I worked at a golf course for two years while in high school. I gave one guy a hole in one while raking a sand trap one morning. He never knew it was me and was tickled to death.

I didn't actually start playing until I was in my early 30's. I spend so much time sitting on my ass at a computer or on an airplane that I'll go out and walk a hilly nine holes a few times a week for the exercise.

 

Tour 18 in flower mound, TX. This hole is a replica of #3 of Oakmont

 

Had a membership at Hazeltine in Minneapolis. Used to play 20-30 rounds a summer before kids. Then kids came and play dropped to less than 10 rounds a summer. Then membership initiation fee and full dues were going to kick-in. And we were moving to Boston. Now we are back in MN and I wish I would have kept my membership. My father is retired and works at a course in northern MN. I play with him for free a couple of times a month.

 

Evening round at Aldarra last night

 

Torrey pines last week (south course)

 

Last week, got the closest I've ever been to getting an ace. The rest of the round was not that great of course.

 

Damn close! Hope you made that putt
