I used to use Arcos but the fee kills it for me. Tried ShotScope and just didn’t work for me. Currently using The Grint and I like it…if I can remember to use it! I have access to Shot Pattern and would use it if it also kept score.

When I did watch it totally messed me up trying new “fixes”. Someone in this thread commented “why take swing fixes from someone who’s never seen your swing”. So true. Only guy I’ll watch is Breed (but he talks too much ) and only for tips, not fixes, on what I’m working on with my instructor.

I heard our PGA Tour Superstore (Raleigh) was smaller than the one in Charlotte but it’s about 3x the size of the largest Golf Galaxy near me in Cary, NC. I doubt GG will shutdown and hope they don’t since it’s about 2 miles from my house.

Now Destin is a madhouse. Used to vacation there in the ‘90’s but it got too crowded.

Played Windswept Dunes when it first opened. I think the tips were 7700 yards. Very nice track

I can hit 80+% of fairways off the tee but for me GIR doesn’t correlate since I’m late 60’s and don’t hit anything as far as I used to. However, scrambling % is pretty good.

Sorry but you haven’t played in humidity until you’ve played in the South (I’m from Illinois and living in NC). Footjoy has a glove called Tropicool that I’m using specifically for humid conditions. So far it’s worked well…much better than a rain glove. $15 on Amazon

Well, if you order now you might get them by next summer. Still waiting for my T200’s, which are now last years model

Ordered T200 irons May 13…still waiting.

Longleaf is vastly improved since US Kids took it over. Unfortunately, they did away with their old bar during the renovation (it was a classic). Played there earlier this year and it was in great shape. if you haven’t played Tobacco Road curious what you think about it. Target golf at its best. We are playing Talamore, Mid-South, Pine Needles and Mid Pines in August.

We played Tot Hill Farms last week ($39 on Group Golfer) and for most of us it was our first time. I think all 8 of us enjoyed it. Not nearly as crazy as Stranz’s Tobacco Road. We all live in Raleigh and it was a bit far but we would definitely play it again. Have fun!

I’m not a gym rat but I saw the Golf Digest has online weight/fitness training. Anyone try this? Anyone you recommend? Also considering Yoga for Golf. Looking for someone who can keep my 67 year old frame going. Thanks.

Deschuttes just came to Raleigh, NC. Draft only but bottles soon. Now if we could only get Ironhorse (Irish Death) or Funky Buhda (Last Snow) my life would be complete.
