anyone interested in starting a thread sharing your personal pictures of the courses you've played.  A hole you love, or hate, a bunker that you always find yourself in, a view from the tee box that always makes you smile... or curse?

Personal picture, no pictures from other websites.

Golf is a new obsession, been cycling for years. Seems like cyclists are very into photographing their rides and places they ride, golfers maybe not as much. I'm just starting to stop and take pictures on the course.

Here's a picture of a beautiful par thee overlooking the Hudson River at Sleepy Hollow Country Club which is the course closest to where I grew up. Welcome to the golf obsession. I started taking photos of courses that I play about 6 years ago. Here's a link to about 5,000 photos of 300 courses I've played since then http://community.webshots.com/user/tewie19

This is from the 8th hole tee box, The Jewel Golf course, Mackinaw Island, Mi with the Grand Hotel in the foreground. If memory serves me the the green in the picture is from the 5th hole par 3. Hit the front nine two season ago, loved it!

I enjoy documenting the courses I have played.  Here are a few good shots.

TPC 17th replica at Castle on the Bay, Arkdale, WI.  Great course

Replica of TPC 17th at Castle Bay, Arkdale, WI

17th at Timberstone GC in Iron Mtn, MI,  One of only a handful of 5 star courses in the country that may be better than many of the top 25 courses in the country.

17th at Timberstone, Iron Mtn, MI.  One of the top 20 courses in the country.  Look closely, - the green mirrors the shape of the lake in the background.

It's not hard to take a good photo on this course.  About 8am on a spring day.

JHWMUSIC,

The lost dunes course looks awsome, I looking for a course for my brother and I to hit this summer. He's west of Chicago, looking for a course half way between us

The pictures don't even do it justice! Class A establishment! Its gated but doesn't have a single home inside...just a few high class bungalows. You also have to play with a forecaddie, but they are well worth it. They know every inch of this place...at least our guy did. If you look closely in those pictures you can see our forecaddie standing in the middle of the fairway...they sprint out there to spot your ball for you when you tee off. Graeme McDowell was also there a week before we were. They only catch is that it is private...but they will let people on depending on how busy they are. Hope you can get the chance because it was one of my favorites of all the time! If you don't there are a ton of good courses in that area. Whitaker Woods is right there...really tough, nice track at a good price.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
