Has anyone noticed its a little slow around the Sandtrap forum the last few days? Any reason? It seems like ever since that night when it was down, the forum has not seen as much action...

Who would have thought that guys like Flop Shot Artist and others that are no longer would bring so much activity?

It's because for a lot of people, golf season is coming near an end. And those who aren't into it are losing interest already.

I know my golf season is almost finished, but I'm not losing interest, as you may notice, I'm not posting on here that much either anymore. But is better than last winter where I entirely disappeared.

Again alot of people are finished so really have nothing to talk about anymore

Actually I have been here 7 weeks, but who is counting. According to board stats, I am not at the top. That belongs to Harry and Dent right now.

Well, technically, you are averaging a higher daily post average than me . . .

Posts-per-day stats are cumulative, as in... for as long as you've been a member here.

Mine's 7.33. Big whoop. Goes down dramatically in the winter, though, I can tell you that.

To me I really don't think posts per day matters, I mean you could make 25 posts on one day, and then make 0 for the next few days, and It really doesn't tell you anything.

I think looking at the time they have been a member on the forum and their posts really distinguishes someone from the rest

I would think it would be the other way. Since you cant play golf in the winter more time in front of PC, am I wrong? Or do people just distance themselves from golf?

I think it's because people don't get on to talk about how they did in their round that day, and obviously won't have any great shots to brag about! You might get on for specific reasons, like to say your wife let you buy a new set for Christmas, or whatever. I think people still get on though, just to keep up with the people we have been bantering with for the last however many months. There's an R/C forum I am on that doesn't completely die out over winter but it slows down by probably half when the guys aren't out running their cars.

I've only been here for not quite 2 months but feel like I'll want to know how people are doing in the cold months around the corner (for some of us). Even though we don't always agree on things (more often than not I am in the minority!) we've all got this one thing that ties us all together and that's what will keep most active members popping in once in a while at least when the clubs get put away. And there's still the Grill Room where we can talk about all things not golf that should stay fairly busy.

Haha I didn't mean it like that, but because you have such a significant ammount of valued posts in the time being, you are considered a somebody.

Wait. People on this forum

I'm not convinced you do. You should consider providing some evidence of that...

I think it's because people don't get on to talk about how they did in their round that day, and obviously won't have any great shots to brag about!

And the PGA Tour isn't playing.

      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.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      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.

      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.
