you can’t fully define a divot.

You cannot. Divots go through a progression and at some undefinable point they are not divots anymore. Nearly every spot in any fairway that isn’t perfect is likely a spot that’s been hit off of before, even if a week ago.

And the idea that a lie in the fairway is supposed to be perfect isn’t really accurate either. Your odds are certainly better, but it isn’t guaranteed just like a bad lie in the rough isn’t guaranteed. That’s golf. Hit it, find it, hit it again. The one who can do that the best and deal with what comes up wins.

This place used to be pretty good in Centerpoint, and may be closer for you. I used to be a member. I am not sure it’s still open or what the quality is currently as it’s been several years, but the website is still up.

I stuck some wooden shoe trees in mine for a week or so and have loved them since

It’s not in its best shape ever ( it can be remarkable for a heavily played city course ), but it’s good enough shape for sure. Some poa on greens.

It’s a pretty open driver course but there are many holes w OB. You have to hit good approaches.

Water pinches in way farther than you think in front of #1and #15 green, so getting on in 2 on those par 5s is a really risky play. My plan is lay up short on 1 and on 15 aim at the fwy bunker with 2nd shot and forget the green ( unless you are really long).

Do not be long on approach to 2. If you go over green you’re likely wet. It’s a really good short hole.

For me, putts break a bit less than what I see. But that’s variable depending on where else someone plays I would guess.

I have 2 pairs. They don’t look narrow but somehow they are a bit narrow. I generally don’t consider wide sizes but these are a bit tight across the toe box. Everything else about them is A+. Grip, cushion.stability all excellent.

It’s actually a pretty good course as far as variety. Short holes that require accuracy , long wide open holes #4 is borderline as it’s a bit too long for most, but if you just play safe off tee and pitch up y’all win more than you’ll lose.

#15 is dumb though. Forced carry with poor lay up options. Very disproportionate advantage for being long, and this is coming from someone who can traditionally carry the hazard no problem ( though age is having a say in that now).

Kids are definitely faster, but I don't think they're so much faster than what we've seen in the past.

I dunno. There was a time in late 70s and early 80s where there were some really fast times. Bobby Beck from Salmen ran mile times around 4:07. Keith Iovine ran 1600 m in 4:12 which may still be the record. Several
others were running 4:20s in 1600 / 9:20s in 3200.

It’s always intrigued me that for decades kids seemed slower especially in distances. It has been quite recently the times have caught and are now surpassing that peak 40+ years ago. Seems like it wouldn’t have taken this long.

Deep South just reopened registration for a few more teams. Memorial Day weekend at Tamahka trails.
The four ball match play is a unique format

Agree w this. I personally use the tech grip. I like that they have cadet sizes where a lot of less expensive gloves don’t. They are as good and anything else out there and at $8 per they are a steal.

lol.

Forget the special bounce. I need a sand wedge with a pillow insert to stop that dreaded click/zoom shot that sends the ball past the next tee box….


I have not seen the Bunkr wedge but I have the E grind they came out with last year or so and it is also great, from bunker, rough, or fairway.
