Jackal

The course I'm wanting to join just showed a pic of the carts they ordered. Pretty sure they are Yamaha from the emblem on front, but can anyone tell me the model or id name? I'm wanting to check on cart enclosures. Thanks

When my Son hits a weak shot, I always say "Next time, hit it with your purse, Stella!"

Yeah, June & July is a few rounds a week. Jan & Feb is maybe 2 a week. We've been lucky in NW Ark, the past few winters it hasn't been too bad. I'm self employed and take off at 3 pm and go to the course. This course is only 6 miles away. My son and I have been working at 1st Tee in another about 15 miles away. They are giving us free golf as thanks ( payment). We'll let that build up, and then use it during June & July. Another possibility is they might leave these bentgrass. The past owners have had bentgrass for 25+ years.

Yes, it's a course only. There is housing all around it.

Yes, I was hoping for it to happen at another time. The ones working on the greens suggested doing it like this during ( prime) growing season. They even say it's possible to be done in 6 weeks.

Update: I spoke with the woman yesterday about the details of a membership. She told us that they anticipate being shutdown for 8 weeks during June & July 2021. According to her, you are paying Jan 1st, 2021 to Jan 1st, 2022. But, your still playing until March 1st, 2022. They add the 8 weeks, to the end of your contract. Then, you would start a new contract on March 1st, 2022. Thanks for all the good info. Just wanted to let everyone know what this course is planning.

Taylormade M3 driver 9.5° head only. Good shape probably a 9 out of 10, or better. Has a small ball scuff on toe side, top of face.( might buff or wax out). $100 or best offer. Need more pics, or have questions just ask. *SOLD******thanks

Not trying to hijack the thread, but there are times with thick grass around the green ( too thick for me to hit a wedge out of) I'll hard putt with a 5 wood. If the grass is so think that it will grab a wedge, I choke down on a 5 wood. Like gripping a putter. Then putt firm, and it will jump out. Be sure to practice this shot first.

Thanks for that info. They are predicting the change over will only stop play for 8 weeks. They plan to do it during what they claim is 'Prime growing season'. I can handle switching to another course during that time.

Thanks for that info. I'm in western Arkansas. Some of the other courses have the bermuda, and this one is planning to change. It was built in 1996??? with the bentgrass, and now the new owners want to change. Maybe they'll stick with bent, and we won't have to worry.

Ok. Thanks guys, that make me feel better.

With this being announed already, I'm hoping they won't surprise us with some kind of 'premium' during that time.

I looking at joining a course that is opening back up this year in December. They have already announced that they will be changing the greens from bentgrass, to a hybrid champion bermuda . This will occur next June. What do courses usually do with the members making payments during this down time? I know it varies, and will ask them, but I'm just wondering what to expect, and what the most common way this is dealt with. Thanks

Most of the time, he leaves his vehicle and someone takes him home.

I do better with an 8 iron or PW. Only use the (finesse) wedges when trying to go over an obstacle, out of sand, over bushes, etc. My Son can play all the fancy wedge shots, no matter what the lie is. For me, it has to be sitting on grass, and I know when to not try it.

I'll have a beer after 9 holes sometimes. I've know a few that played better when they could barely stand up. One of them said " The golfer I get, the better I drunk"

Update. I started playing again last weekend. Just concentrating on the swing basics. My score is still pretty low. The cooler weather & hunting\ football season has emptied the course. I'm enjoying it again. My time in the golf forums has slowed, because I don't want to ( overdose) on golf. Thanks for all the good words and replies.

All sold. Thanks for your purchases.

Another thing I've been told about serial numbers. They use real numbers on fake clubs. They have a real Scotty that they copied. Now let's say the serial# is ABC123, they use ABC124, ABC125, and so on. They may actually use up to a thousand numbers. Then, when someone calls Cameron putters and asks, it's a real number. Also, they don't get 50 calls in 1 week asking if the same number ( ABC123) is real.

I'll see if I can find the links. I bought a fake-Scotty putter 2 years ago. It was a gamble, and I got it for $35 bucks. I figured I couldn't go wrong for that. Well it did turn out to be fake. The first thing I was told is "A magnet won't stick to a real Scotty". Yeah, mine's magnetic. My Son has the real deal, and mine feels 95% as good as his. My putting improved 500% with this fake. We laugh and call it my (Scooty Cameroon ). I'll see if I can find the links. They gave several details and pics.

Make offer, and I might help With shipping.

I have 2 new driver shafts. Callaway is sold!!! They are too strong for me. #2 is a 70 gram black smoke 6.5 out of my M5 driver. MCC +4 grip .It has been hit about 40?? times. Price is $75 plus shipping. ( might pay part of shipping) if you need more pics, let me know.

I didn't play golf this weekend. Stayed home, and played guitar. Today, I walked 9 with my Son. No real swing thoughts. Hit some really good shots, an didn't worry about the score. My driver is going farther, and the wedges suffered some from the 8 " of rain last week, and nighttime temps in the 30s. It's fall, I'll have to just hit when I can and want to. Thanks to everyone for all the comments and good words. Looks like I'll be part-time this winter.

Thanks for taking the time to write that. I appreciate all the replies. Just afraid it won't come back.
