MaxEntropy 6,429 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Like many of you, I also preview the course to determine some form of strategery, but Arccos seems to be pretty bad at knowing which tee box is appropriate for the selected tees. If I select the white tees in Arccos, it still thinks we would be teeing off from the back tee box like the image @RollingGreens posted above. In reality, it seems there is a good chance the whites will be on the next box forward, potentially shaving up to around 20 yards off the shot.

Since inquiring minds want to know..... you can play blues, whites, bronze or the ladies tees or any combination . Note scorecard below shows combo holes and yardages. If you're playing combo tees and using GHIN be sure to select that option vs. CIC regular tees. 1 Quote Left Hand orientation G410 SFT driver Cobra King F-9 5 wood 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter NX9-HD - 4 Wheel - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Snell MTB-X 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to post Share on other sites

tony@CIC 15,886 Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 Guys, for those attending: We no longer use different flag colors to denote pin location and instead use an app. The app - both for iphone and others is called ezlocator ePinsheet (free), I've included a couple of screen shots below: the first is from the apple store, the second is of the green/pin location you'll see, Note, the way to read this is: the green depth is 30 paces long (upper right number), the red lower left number is 3 paces from center, the the lower right number is 12 paces in from the front and 8 paces from the right. Hope all of that makes sense, if not I can give a quick overview when we meet. Also as an FYI, most of our newer carts have a usb port in case you have a battery issue 2 Quote Left Hand orientation G410 SFT driver Cobra King F-9 5 wood 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter NX9-HD - 4 Wheel - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Snell MTB-X 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to post Share on other sites
tony@CIC 15,886 Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 Here's a pic of the green on #9, a 160 yd par 3. Careful not to overshoot the green which will result in one of 2 things : a chip onto a sharp downhill green or worse yet the rock ledge will eat your ball. I sank a 6' downhill putt (white ball in the middle of the pic) for a bird today. Too bad the golf gods weren't as kind to me on the previous 8 holes. 3 Quote Left Hand orientation G410 SFT driver Cobra King F-9 5 wood 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter NX9-HD - 4 Wheel - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Snell MTB-X 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to post Share on other sites

tony@CIC 15,886 Posted September 8 Author Share Posted September 8 Updated forecast for the 12th. Couldn't ask for better temps. Our course is cart path only today, but 3 days of upcoming sunshine + wind should return it to normal conditions on Saturday. Hope the winds clock around to the northwest it'll make the course that much more challenging. 4 Quote Left Hand orientation G410 SFT driver Cobra King F-9 5 wood 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter NX9-HD - 4 Wheel - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Snell MTB-X 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to post Share on other sites

tony@CIC 15,886 Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 The weather gods were kind for our outing. Weather leading up to our event was cold, windy and lots of rain, but it was the best golf weather ever for our event. Note: the rain came back Sunday morning and it's cart path only! I won't mention scores, especially mine, since my driver went missing on #7 and didn't reappear til #18. For those that did play well, especially from the blue tees, the US Open regionals will be back here next May! Guys, thx for making the trip out here. And a special thx to my wife who was taking pix from our condo. 3 Quote Left Hand orientation G410 SFT driver Cobra King F-9 5 wood 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter NX9-HD - 4 Wheel - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Snell MTB-X 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to post Share on other sites
