Date 04/26/2024 Course Name Whiskey Creek Gross Score 90 Course Handicap 13 Gross Strokes over/under par 18 Net Score to Par 5 Net Score 77 Net Birdies or better 0 Longest Drive 0 Slope: 124 Rating: 69.1 Number of actual birdies / eagles: 1 First time playing this course; first time swinging a club in a few weeks after messing up my back; and first time I'm participating in a VCT season! I hope I posted all of the info correctly. Highly recommend this public golf course to anyone in the DC / MD / VA area. Beautiful course with interesting holes. My friends decided to play from the whites to minimize the risk of me destroying my back again. I had a chance at a personal-best score with an 81 heading into 18...and then make a foolish decision instead of a safe play; skulled a chip; and took two shots to get out of the bunker for a 9. Horrific ending to an otherwise great day on the course with perfect weather.

Hoping to participate for the first time. Hurt my back yesterday, hoping to bounce back by the weekend...what happens if you miss a week?

OK got it. Thanks for your all's help!

Help me settle something with some friends. Three golfers are playing skins. Here are their handicaps: Golfer A: 12 Golfer B: 15 Golfer C: 18 On the 4th-hardest hole on the course, Golfer A shoots bogey; Golfer B shoots bogey; Golfer C shoots bogey. In this scenario, shouldn't the hole push? Because while Golfer A is giving Golfer C a stroke on this hole, Golfer B shouldn't because they should only be giving C three strokes for the round. So shouldn't B and C tie for the hole, even though C beat A? Or is this wrong? I feel like if it didn't work this way, it'd be punitive to B for no reason. But you all tell me — I'm newer to golf and gambling on golf. Thanks!

Could one of the mods review my profile and let me know if I'm good to go as far as maximizing my odds of being chosen as a tester, or if there's anything else I should do or add? Thanks!

happy to meet up and get you out to a couple private courses a little west of you, like Belmont (my home course), Chantilly National, etc.

hey everyone! i've been playing golf very sporadically since i was 18, but just recently decided to take it more seriously to try to get better — got fitted for clubs, took a couple lessons, hit the range as often as i can, etc. but i'm still awful and shoot 100. i love that golf is a sport i'll (theoretically) be able to play for many years to come. i'm competitive and have played sports for most of my life. but my body's has been breaking down a bit these past few years and i don't know how much longer i'll be able to do things like play basketball. golf would scratch that itch if i could ever get good at it. and golf is just a sport that feels cool to be good at. i originally discovered the forum while googling some local private club costs. i live in the northern VA / DC area. no home course yet, but might be on the verge of joining a private club nearby. i've typically played Herndon Centennial and Raspberry Falls. can't think of anything bad about the golf here, except maybe that it's incredibly popular so tee times can be a challenge to book. i work in UX / digital content strategy. picked my handle based on my name + the Taj Mahal. pretty self-explanatory!
