For these weekly challenges, how are you deciding what courses to play?  Are you guys playing courses that have always been your home courses, or course based on the challenges?  For example, this week are you guys playing a course that may be a bit more wide open rather than tight and tree lined?  

Also, how many of you plan to play brand new courses throughout this challenge?

Well I'm back after my 24 hours of being a social media influencer.  The pay is much lower than anticipated.  💰💸🤷‍♂️

Unfortunately work and family obligations pretty much dictate when and where I can play.  I have Thursday afternoons off over the summer to play at least 18 at my home course with the hope that I can play elsewhere some weekends.

This week I'm planning playing 63 holes and all will be at the same course.  I'd love to find a place with gigantic fairways but life often gets in the way of golf.

Most of my rounds will be on my home course. I will however be taking a golf trip to Tennessee in July to play 2 new courses. My course is all but 2 doglegs and tree lined, I’m not changing anything.

I don't hear golf trip and Tennessee mentioned in the same sentence often. Where are you planning on playing? I honestly need to get out more in the state and play, but I usually stay around my home area near Chattanooga.

Tazewell, it’s north eastern TN. Woodlake Lodge and Golf to be more specific. And we’ll be playing 36 on the way down, not sure where yet.

Nice! Make sure you wear some orange and white when you come down, so if you play bad you can feel at home down here.

I am going to be playing mostly my home course but if I get the chance I will play some different ones. In fact the course I played on the weekend is one I have never set foot on before 😁😎

Is a Kentucky fan allowed to wear orange and white? That seems sacrilegious.

Proper orange, or Tennessee “orange”?

Who was the first to lay up to hit more fairways this week?

 

@Nunfa0 don’t you dare pull anything less than driver. You are a warrior!

Probably me.

Hole #2 at Rackham is a dogleg right and if I pull driver, I'd be hitting it into the next fairway.

So this wasn't over a highway, but it was 250yds with no roll.

I'm loving this driver! More details to come in my write up.

As a diehard KY fan I wouldn’t wear any shade of orange (TN) or red (Louisville). I believe my good friend Foz could agree on that.

"Obviously my iron play is incredible, and when I get going I can get hot, but this course just fits my eye. The shaping of the holes, and just a couple of the doglegs, I'm able to shape shots."

Sorry @JohnSmalls there is one par 4 I have to lay up. The dogleg is too tight and the trees are too tall to hit driver 😔😁😎

Man is it hard to catch up on here when you're on vacation with an infant...

Got two rounds in but only 27 holes tracked. The first course had 3 nines but didn't tell us what we were playing so I just took a guess. That worked for the first nine but I was not tracking the right back nine so I just shut it off.

The second course was super short and bunkered up. I did not do well for this week's challenge. I'm starting to think it's gonna be very important to play courses you are familiar with to do well here.

That being said my putting handicap was a +3.0 for the first 9 and a -3.5 for the 18 I played yesterday. Thanks again @Wedgie for helping the wife pick out the new putter! 

I'm seeing lots of questions and I apologize for not being able to get to them. I will be back on my game come next week I promise.

Yeah when I tagged the irons I got to the pitching wedge and carried on without changing to specialised wedges. So that's how it ended up being a 10 iron.
