Fore! Who's playing golf, yo-

[nutmegchoi]

Walked 18 hole in 3.5 hours with minor traffic.
Shot 51, 51 but happy to minimize triples and add couple pars.
Driver is hitting better after the cut and 3 wood is so much easier to hit.
190 over wet fairway is okay by me.
Love the fall golf.

In a post round interview, a sports reporter asked Nicklaus "How did you get that 11 on a par 4 hole?" "I missed a 3 footer for a 10. " Jack replied.

Looks like a fun course.

At least you don’t have a chicken wing, Fritz!

Oh that’s not me! I wish. Cameron Champ. Thought it was helpful to see his club position at impact. Medium dude, highest ball speed. Obviously a much more exaggerated version of what I’m trying to do but it’s good visualization for me.

I was watching when they showed that earlier, absolutely amazing how similar they all are with mechanics/angles, even Finau despite his short backswing.

[Fritz]

Totally. Doesn’t matter how you get there as long as you get there. I need to think about it like that more often. Start with where you want everything to be at impact and back into it.

[wyeaster]

maybe it's the camera angle but champ looks further behind the ball and launching up and the others look much more planted over the front leg. champ looks like he is throwing himself into it.

[Fritz]

Maybe something to do with the amount of lag. They say his transition is kind of like Sergio’s so maybe he gets more whip. I think you also use bigger muscles like medius glute when you keep your upper body behind the ball more so maybe more power there

[GeezerSteve]

Champ has lots of lag, keeps his mass behind the ball and moves it towards the target. Huge lag and heavy hit = tons of power. Personally, I'm better off not watching it in slomo. If I tried to swing like that, my game would go to shit. I hit it better when I watch a dead hand swinger like Steve Stricker. YMMV of course.

I walked 36 holes Thursday on my (recently adopted) home course, 6,000 yard par 71. Knee feeling pretty damn good less than 4 months out of TKR surgery. I shot 78 and 77, good scores although nothing special. (I'm currently playing to est. 10 index.) Both rounds were more satisfying that a typical high 70s round because I played steady eddy golf: I carded nothing higher than a 5 all day, had no double bogies, kept it in play, got it up and down, played smart controlled golf. A few of my drives rolled into hardpan waste (course is in arid country) but I got to or near the green each time. My go-to shot from hardpan is a punch draw, clubbing up one club and trying to pick it clean.

Beautiful fall golf at Centennial Golf Club in Carmel, NY.

^Way to get after it T!

[wooley12]

Nice looking track. Dynamic pricing rates $29 -$139. $29 is the "after twilight / before dawn" rate?

[tele.savalas]

Played 9 holes with my son at Soldier Hollow (Silver) yesterday.
Driving range Friday.

Thank you!
I played horrible (again) but had a great day out playing golf!!

Probably. lol

Paid $52 for 12:20pm tee time which we barely made 18 hole before it got too dark.

[GeezerSteve]

Nice looking track indeed.

I'm into cheap golf. $13 offseason today for 36 holes. Legit course, some long tough holes, especially when windy. I was first out and not much traffic. I walked 36 holes in 6 hours.

I did yard work most of the day so you are winning!

There’s no $13 golf around here.
You can actually buy 110 balls at a driving range for $13.

Already booked next Sunday at Mohansic Golf Course owned by Westchester County.
$39 walking residential rate.
Pretty much the lowest you can find.

Growing collection from this year.
Played 18 different courses but few of them didn’t have their logo balls.

Ha ha, well AFAIK, there's no $13 all day golf west of the Cascades in WA. There are advantages to living on the drier/cheaper side of the mountains. A nice scenic challenging 9-hole par 35 course a couple hours away has an off season rate of $10 starting November 1. Honor system. Nobody works the shop in the winter. I dunno whether they recut pins or keep them in the same position all winter.

When we lived in Seattle, I found relatively cheap greens fees on decent courses via GolfNow. West Seattle -- a very nice challenging course designed by Henry Chandler Egan, hosted the USGA Public Links decades ago -- had a bad weather card for $50. When it rained, they'd post a bad weather alert and charge $12 greens fees. Few people took advantage of it. I played lots of cheap rainy rounds in 3 hours. Dunno if they are still doing that.

Lots of courses in WA charge half for replays, which works for us because we often walk 36 holes in a day. We've played 45 holes in a day several times. I walked 54 holes in a day one time, the final 18 for free.
