I'm not sure I qualify, but if you're including ALL of PA, I guess I'm in. I'm in the chimney part of PA, of course.

Wikipedia counts Virginia to ny. Everywhere I looked seems to have a different idea of what mid Atlantic is.

When I log in to my aaa.com account, it routes automatically me to midatlantic.aaa.com.  Those are my credentials for joining.

I'd have been certain that VA is included in "mid-atlantic" but e-how sites the Census bureau as defining only as New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.  (http://www.ehow.com/info_8124434_states-midatlantic-states.html)

So it looks like PA is the only state that everyone agrees in Mid-Atlantic?  So Erik, in the chimney part of PA, about 400 miles from the Atlantic, is more legit than most of us.

Actually, if you google-image search "mid-atlantic" you'll find maps showing NY to MD, PA to VA, and MD to GA.  One even just shows Iceland, but I think that's something else.

Welcome to the forum!

I've been down to Charlottesville a couple of times for softball tournaments at UVA.  Its a beautiful place and we always had a blast.  Except for the drive.  It was MUCH further from DC than I expected.

Wellcome @CallawayJ !

Your post made me think of something that might interest you and some others here.

I am a member of a USGA governed club that is not associated with any particular course--I guess you could call it an online golf club.  There is a larger DC area club, but some of us created an offshoot a couple years ago because the larger club had hundreds of members and maybe only a dozen people that would show up.  Its really just a group of guys that get together once a month at courses around the area, mostly northern Virginia.  I think the dues are $25 a year, which just goes towards trophies for the "majors" and you have to get a subscription to ushandicap.com which costs about the same.

If anyone here is interested in joining the club, send me a PM and I'll introduce you to the guys who are running the show.

Staunton, VA here. Looking for new people to play with. My friends are broke

next time I head out to Moorefield to play with my pal, I'll let you know  and you can slip over...takes me 90 min to get there from here, but worth the drive....

      How Much do You Exercise?

      I’ve recently started KBs too and really enjoy it. I have one day of armour building complex and one day of a mobility routine. Adding in a speed training day too.    which routines do you do @Elmer

      Again, I’m not an expert so take it with a grain of salt My question is whether laying back even further becomes too conservative and that strategy is suboptimal as a result? Essentially what’s the cost of guaranteed longer second shot vs the x% risk for hitting the bunker? I think the optimal way to answer the question is looking at strokes gained, in consideration of the hazards and penalties, and picking the strategy that maximizes SG off the tee. I’ve seen some apps that do this but I’m not sure how accurate they are.   And again, asking all this so I can learn what I should be doing in these situations rather than questioning your approach Bill. I would give an example of the course I’m joining this year where I plan to aim at the bunker, but I don’t want to take over your swing thread any further!

      What @DeadMan said. From the satellite it looks like there's tall grass to the right, long of the fairway post-dog-leg. But left it just looks like regular rough all the way to the neighboring tee boxes. If that's true I'm aiming left edge of the green and bombs away every time, hoping for a 30-70 yard up and down opportunity.

      What's the case against blasting a driver at the green? I'm guessing it puts the penalty area/fescue too much into play, but if that's just standard rough around the green, there would be a good case for it. If it's not driver, then I agree with your approach. The one thing I would add is to shade your aim towards the bunkers vs. center of the fairway. Hitting out of a bunker is (marginally) better than a penalty drop.
