  1. Has anyone bagged the 17 and 19 degree together? Just wondering if there was any noticable yardage gap between the two.
  2. Callaway Jaws Raw with black finish (54 w 10.5 bounce and 58 w 12X bounce). Callaway Apex Pro '21 A wedge to fill the gap between between pitching wedge and the 54.
  3. I've got a 3-wood, 2Hybrid, and a 5Hybrid. I'm a convert to playing a hybrid over the long iron equivalent because they are just so easy to hit and they come down so softly.
  4. My Top 10 courses list: Heavily influenced by weather and the company I was keeping 1. Royal Portrush 2. Royal County Down 3. Murfield 4. Old Memorial 5. Canterbury Golf Club 6. Coldstream Country Club 7. Camargo Country Club 8. St. Andrews 9. Gold Mountain 10. Bethpage (Black)
  5. I play Callaway 2016 Apex irons and a mixture of Ping and Vokey wedges. I'll switch when a fitter tells me that they aren't right for me any longer.
  6. I haven't joined a private club because of the expense, but I'm definitely getting closer. My reasons for joining would be: 1. Avoiding the once a year golfers who decide they would like to tee off at 8 a.m. Of course there is a different group every weekend. 2. Avoiding the 7 minute tee time gaps and the groups that aren't listed on the tee sheet. 3. Having the course care more about conditions than shoving as many groups out on the course as possible.
  7. While I love listening to music I don't want it on the course. I play on a public course and the occasional group will have it blaring so it can be heard as they play the hole behind. I would hope people wouldn't find yelling on the course acceptable, so why would playing music at a loud volume be acceptable.
  8. I think the golf industry has finally hit the limits of pricing. Personally, I reached my limit a few years back (Ping G400) as to what I'm willing to pay for a driver. I don't mind paying to get fit, but I'm more than willing to wait for a price/condition/specifications combination on Ebay before taking the plunge.
  9. Chris, Those are both really nice courses. I got to play them both many years ago. Thanks, Pat
  10. I'll have to look at that one. I've played Wild Horse Golf Club in Gothenburg, NE and it was outstanding.
  11. Is anyone still trying to play the Top 100 public courses? If so, has anyone found any bargains this year? Thanks, Pat
  12. Does anyone know if May River and Daufuskie Island's Haig Point are public access courses? I'm planning on being in the area and was interested in checking one or two of them off of my list.
  13. Brett, Thanks for providing the link to the site. Regards, Pat
  14. Jerry, Is it feasible to get from Edingurgh and play Carnoustie, Royal Aberdeen, Cruden Bay, Trump International, Castle Stuart, and Royal Dornoch without renting a car? I notice that the Scottish rail/bus system goes to locations that are very near the course. I'm just not sure whether taking clubs/luggage on the bus/trains is a huge pain in the bum. Your thoughts? Thanks, Pat
  15. I went quite a few years ago and had no problems playing as a single. My wife actually rode around in the cart with me. She got to enjoy all the views and drink a lot of beer. Some of the courses did charge an extra rider fee.
  16. I saw where Circling Raven is keeping their spring rates for the entire year. I was thinking of flying in to take advantage a stay and play package. Does anyone know if Circling Raven/Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort is affiliated with Couer d'Alene Resort? Thanks.
  17. I got up to Michigan for a long weekend and got to play Arcadia Bluffs, Forest Dunes, Kingsley Club, and The Loop. Got rained out at Bay Harbor. The golf is definitely worth the trip. Hopefully, I can back up there to play some more of those great courses.
  18. I've got a group of guys planning on playing some courses on the RTJ Golf Trail in June. We are looking at playing the courses at Grand National and Capitol Hill. Looking to hear whether anyone thinks it would be better to skip one of the 5 courses at these 2 places in order to play Cambrian Ridge. Thanks, Pat
  19. If you are fair skinned and prone to burning, don't shy away from the white-out. I lived in Ohio for 25 years and have always had a dark farmer's tan from playing golf. Now, I live in Florida and been battling skin cancer for the last couple of years (I'm in my mid 50's) and I utilize Neutragena 70 and apply it thick. I've grown very fond of the white-out, sleeves, wide brim hats, and golf pants. It isn't comfortable to wear in the Florida heat, but it's better than the alternatives.
  20. I've been trying to play the top 100 public courses and the 50 states for quite a while. I've played in AL/AZ/CA/CO/CT/FL/GA/HI/IL/IN/KY/MA/MI/MS/NC/NE/NM/NV/NY/OH/OR/RI/SC/TN/VA/WA/WI/WV. I was hoping to knock out AR/LA/MO this year, but COVID is going to make it difficult.
  21. Granted you won't find as many nice courses in proximity of each other as there are in Myrtle Beach, there are quite a few nice courses in the Mississippi/Alabama/Georgia corridor that can be played fairly inexpensively. The RTJ golf trail offers a lot of nice courses to play in Alabama. Birmingham has several nice courses. Mississippi has Dancing Rabbit/Old Waverly. Georgia has Cuscawilla (not cheap), UGA's course, etc, but it will get more expensive down by Savannah.
  22. Very nice review. I hope to make it up there this summer.
