Pics from the course

Not a pic but a little vid. Graduating Kaylen from the putter to wedges, irons, and a driver this year. This one made my whole week.

the more I practice, the luckier I seem to get..

That's a great job she did under the pressure of the sand trap with the water behind the green. I loved her reaction, that's awesome man!

Great job
Most of us would have dumped it in the bunker

I bought her a fun little Top Flite set that she can grow into progressively as she's learning and growing. D, 3w, 5h, 5i - 8i, PW, SW, and putter. I've taken all of the clubs out but the hybrid, PW, SW, and putter as they're just too big or she's not ready for them yet. I purposely bought a set big enough so when she choked all the way down, the butt would touch her belly button and stay touching through the swing. Almost like body rotation "training wheels". When she grows bigger and works her way back up the grip, hopefully she'll have a decent rotation grooved in. 

So throughout the round I would sett up little "win" shots for her i.e. would drop the ball 10 yds from the green and let her feel what it's like to chip and land on the green and then finish with her putter. Also set up some hybrid shots from 30 yds out, let her hit her hybrid off the tee box from a tee to feel like she's driving the ball, etc. She was having some consistent contact with her PW so I thought to add this little element of intimidation. She aced it!

Hopefully this year we'll be getting her into a Jr. league with some real instruction and can post more of Kaylen's progress here ala @GolfSpy MPR and his little guy Kirke

She’s off to a good start! Great job Dad!

Great fall day for golf outside of Leicester, MA at an old farm called Kettle Brook designed by Brian Silva.

Mother nature was putting on a show...end of the leaf peeping season but some of these pics don't do it justice...

 

I knew that my new bag and clubs would be a good match but didn't realize that it would also match my push cart!

 

One of my least favorite shots....
Severely downhill I was a good 30-40 feet above the green here.... 77 yards... wind in my face.
I couldn't hit a normal wedge so I end up having to hit a short punch shot - I rarely practice these and they're all feel.
I was able to pull this one off - hit an 8 iron and rolled the ball onto the green. Ended up at the red dot on the back left where I two-putted for par.

 

One of the longest and most demanding par 3's in all of New England. 230 to the center, pretty much all carry, uphill and if there's any wind you better be ready.  I hit a knock down 3 wood (on a par 3!) and ended up pin high but way right.... 
This is looking from the tee box - pretty intimidating because they put a big bunker right in front of the green too.

 

My tee shot looking back at the box...

 

I was playing alone and I typically turn on some Pandora on my phone... I must have had it on the 60s/70s/80s station....

stunning pics- Fall always looks fantastic in sunshine.

 

Whats the yellow monolith in a couple of the pics?

Those are some fantastic pics @GolfSpy Stroker!! Course conditions look excellent. i just love courses like that at this time of year.

Last night my wife wanted to run out and play 9 after she played Bridge all day. Other than being a bit chilly it was a spectacular fall evening, albeit a bit chilly. She had a great 'bump and roll' on this Par 5 within 4 feet of the cup but missed the cup for a par. The fitting and the most recent lesson are paying off for her.

Thanks...that's my attempt to use MS Paint to indicate where the tee box and flagstick are....

Just me and the course, after work.

Should have taken more but this is the 18th at one of my favorite tracks here The Duke at Rancho Eldorado. This is about 2 weeks after the winter seeding so the course is in great shape.

Northwest Ohio - if you don't like the weather just wait. This past weekend the wind blew 35-40 mph with a good dose of rain. Today? Mid 60's and no wind. What a spectacular day on the course (weather but not my game). Looks like we'll have another day of this before it cools off and starts raining again.

I work at a golf course in NE Ohio. Tanglewood Golf Course to be exact. And the scenery has been amazing this time of year.

Schoolhouse Nine last week with Allie. The pictures tend to flatten out the undulations on the greens, but they are pretty wild.

It's the ultimate backyard golf course, a nine-hole par 3 built on about 20 acres.  It's crazy fun.
