I was going to try to play Bethpage in late November during a weekend trip to the city. Bummer....it closes for the winter on Nov. 15. Are there any other courses worth playing around NYC? I really don't care about price if its a nice course. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Pound Ridge is about 45-60 minutes out of the city, Northeast of the town in Pound Ridge, NY. It's a Pete Dye track and quite challenging (and very pricey).

A few friends and I head up there whenever we're together in NYC for a conference. We have a love-hate relationship with Pete, which keeps us coming back, even though he usually kicks our asses.

My dream is to hit Bethpage Black one of these years.

Will you have access to a car or will you be limited to public transportation?

I could rent a car. Not planning on it as of now.

This is a negative recommendation-
Don't bother with Mansion Ridge.

I played it a few weeks ago and it was disappointing experience.

For a relatively high price $130 with cart, the course was in fair condition.

Either Bethpage Red or Black put Mansion Ridge to shame as far as quality and condition. The service was okay, but I'm pretty sure the two marshals are there mostly to make sure if you hit one into the protected wetlands, you don't go in to try and find your ball.

They must have had a tough summer. When I played there earlier this year the greens were the best I've played on in a while. Only some areas of the rough were thin. A marshal found my ball when I hit it right on 7.

I've spent a lot of time playing out of NYC, in Florida, the Carolinas, the Midwest and I understand why people say golf in NYC stinks. The course selection here is decent, but I think they're referring to the travel time, the cost, the slow play, the lack of facilities like real grass ranges. I found it much easier to play in most other places than NYC.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
