I have posted a few things but never introduced myself, sorry. I am a retired 100% Disabled Veteran from the Vietnam War. I live in the mountains of Arizona. I have worked in several fields with a degree in electronics. Also have done some hard labor in my life and owned my own corporation. I try and keep an open mind as I think others should too. Golf has ben an important part of my life and I'll play it until I physically cannot get to a course. LOL I have been a member of a major USA golf forum since 2005 but it is getting too contentious, with no respect for other members. That's time for me to leave. My philosophy is live and let live and like what you like and don't take crap from anyone. Sometimes that means minding your own business. I want to have fun when on a golf forum. Isn't that why we all join? Also to discuss my hobby/obsession. Hopefully I can learn some things and maybe contribute for the greater good. Cheers, Parman

Thanks all for the nice replies. I realize all golf forums get contentious at times. I think respect for other members is most important. Now it looks like our snow is melting and temp rising so I will be able to play in a day or two. :-)

Welcome to TST, although sometimes people may get contentious here, rarely with members who have been around for a while does it stay that way.  I have had my share of disagreements with people on here and yet still think well of them, they are topics and opinions.  The staff does an excellent job of not letting things get out of line.  Plenty of information on everything you can think about on this site, and if you can't find it, you can start a thread on it.

 

Enjoy your stay here.

    • 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.
