Well, maybe not cheating, but makes you look like an asshat in front of friends.

"Yeah I normally shoot in the 70s"

Then proceed to shoot an 88 on a course you don't know.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it gives you a more accurate handicap.

That I completely understand.

I've never met a person who has any idea what they're handicap is, so I forget that there are people who do know lol.

Chester le street golf course, in Durham, England.

This is from the tee box on the 2nd hole.

Dog leg left, up hill towards Lumley Castle.

And this is the castle - now used as a wedding venue / hotel.

It is named for its original creator, Sir Ralph Lumley , who converted his family manor house into a castle in 1389 after returning from wars in Scotland . However, after being implicated in a plot to overthrow Henry IV he was imprisoned and ultimately executed, forfeiting his lands to the Earl of Somerset .

I'll be playing there tomorrow for the first time.

A lot of water, but most of the holes set up nicely for my slight driver fade.

I've been there. I hope to get back again for a round later this year. Jimmy Hanlin's a good guy. They just went private, I think, no?

This summer, I've added 4 courses to my normal rotation as I signed up for a summer league.

They are:

The Nicklaus Tournament Course at PGA West

The Greg Norman Course at PGA West

La Quinta Resort Mountain Course

La Quinta Resort Dunes Course

In addition to those four I also regularly play both courses at Terra Lago (I still consider this to be my "home" course), SilverRock, and The Classic Club.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I felt bad to break par after shooting two consecutive 71's on my former home course, Cedar Point Golf Club, a par 72 layout in Maryland. Okay not really, but I still felt like I couldn't mark them down as legitimate rounds since I was playing alone.  Yeah, things got weird in my head when playing with no competition or attestors. Then factor in how well I knew the course at the time too. I shot a 75 from the championship tees during the club championship I competed in that same year. I'm still more proud of that than the two breaking par rounds that preceded it (1980).

Golf kept me close to my father during the four years in the 1960's that I worked for him on weekends as his caddy. I didn't play then, but later did start playing once he insisted "it was time". It's been a joy ever since.

i play a course called majestic oaks here in minnesota. they have 3 courses: signature (nice, little long though, i think it was 7000 last time i played), crossroads (like a municipal course), and a 9 hole executive course with 2 par 4s.

i bought an $80 card so i can play 18 with a cart on the crossroads whenever for $18 including tax. the executive with the card is $6, and i think the signature is $32 with a cart. without the card it's $50 with a cart to play the crossroads.

i played other courses around me, but the value, variety, and proximity made this my de facto course.

now if they would stop hosting massive private tournaments all the time i would get more rounds in.

My home course is Mill Creek Country Club http://millcreek.cc , designed by Ted Robinson, (who also designed Sahalee among 160+ other courses) it's a great course, has great practice facilites, driving range, club house, etc.... And since it's private you don't run into hackers and slow players very often so that's nice too...

      Of course. I've used different words to start, but like 90-95% of the time it's been this one. And I'm unlikely to switch now.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
