That was such a great time on the range.  Eveyone swapping clubs to hit snd admiring the ones they dared not try to hit for fear of eternal embarrassment.  
 

Note for next outing….make sure at least 2 rounds start a bit later to allow for even more time to have impromptu Demo Day on the range.

I did try to hit one of those lefty clubs that @JohnSmalls had and it did not go so well 

@Golfspy_CG2 Thanks for letting us try the AutoFlex.

No problem.  So many were hitting it so well!

Rapsodo combine video is live - if you watch on your phone, it should fill the screen vertically.  @EasyPutter - "I feel clean" is still the funniest thing I heard the whole trip.  

 

 

Awesome video @GolfSpy SAM!

I thought I was going to be pretty close to last after the debacle that was my 7 iron and driver.

There are some great swings on there!  Looks like a fun test with some nice prizes!

As to the golf, I left Virginia a humble man, with a new appreciation for those that play their rounds on Bermuda grass.

Second that. That, umm, stuff is tough to play on, especially near and around the greens...

We'll get 'em next time!!

That was a devious hole, I think 3 of us lost a ball in the approach shot. Loved it!

That course generally beats me up every time, yet it is still my favorite course in the area.

Arrive feeling like I have my game under control, walk away thinking I should give up the game!  Yet, I continue to go back!

It was my favorite course on the trip and that's saying sometime since the Kingsmill courses were all great. I think it all comes down to the aesthetics and challenge, I've just never played anything like it. It ate my lunch and I want to go back for more.

I loved that hole. It was so unique!

[GolfSpy_APH]

I wish I had pulled the trigger on that headcover, but really wanted the same one but for my fairway not driver.

And I got very lucky on that one, remember it all too clearly - blocked my tee shot a little right and was afraid it went down into that no man's land bottomless pit of a hazard .. but found it just into the fescue. Managed to get a 9i into the back of the ball for a safety shot out to the left, then hit a nice 7i layup that caught a lucky bounce to the left and just short of the green.

Yeah great course and yeah would do it again - with the company and support of fellow Spies!!

Hard to believe this was a month ago already.  Looking forward to the next one (and sorry for not being there for the last place prize award  )

You should be able to get first place at the next event by using the last place award.

well.... my "second" shot needed to carry about 240 and I just didn't quite have it. 

I'm glad I found a donor ball in the tall grass to try for that shot... wasn't expecting much good trying to carry it all the way to the green! 

I think I made it about 215. haha

Such a cool hole.

[GolfSpy BOS]

Oh and since this thread is still going it's probably overdue that I share some photos and get everyone thinking about the next outing again.

Starting with the range at RNK: @GolfSpy_APH's smooth swing and some calves from @GolfSpy_BEN

Some photos of our fearless leaders APH and @GolfSpy SAM

 

Not the easiest approach shot for your first hole of the weekend... but Matt stuck it close.

Some bunker action.

Matt's eagle hole:

The stunning vista approaching the clubhouse as the day neared it end. I loved the layout of this course.

Oh and a few from KM as well:

First, don't try your friends shaft.  It could end up being a costly decision...

*TEMU adapter not included with purchase

The highlight approach shot on the river course.  #16 from the fairway.  Tough to beat that view!

looking back on the 18th from the 19th.. a beautiful sunset on the river:

Ben found a window here...

And one from the Woods course, which had some spectacular hole designs of its own.

I have more, but a few loaded upside down and I don't have time to fix those right now, so I'll have another post later!

[Josh Parker]

Thanks for the photos @GolfSpy BOS!  

I am def making the next one.

[sirchunksalot]

Great photos @GolfSpy BOS! I appreciate you posting them up and I've downloaded a bunch of them to keep in my personal collection. It's nice to be able to look back on them and reminisce on the good times had there.

Always use training wheels on your bike before an outing. 

[Golfspy_CG2]

Great photos Bryan.  Hard to believe we were wrapping up a month ago today. 

[GolfSpy BOS]

one of the ones that loaded upside down yesterday....

 

I'd like to caption this one: "Trust, but verify." Perhaps an unofficial Forum Testing motto.
