I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to the forum. I have used this site and the forum many times over the last few years to read equipment reviews etc. and I am grateful for the knowledgable people here as you all have helped me immensely.

I am currently carrying a H.C. index of 3.2 and I play golf 2-3 times per week , I practice nearly everyday.  In fact I was motivated to join for a couple reasons.

1: whenever I was in the market for a club or clubs,  I rarely made a purchase without visiting the reviews section here.  This site has both saved me time and $$$ guaranteed!

2: Someone broke into my car, stole my entire golf bag recently forcing me to  purchase an entirely new ( or new to me ) set. After hitting a few irons on my own I narrowed my choices down to 4 brands , then came here to read up on them. I finally settled on Mizuno MP- 53's 3-pw and Boy am I happy and grateful to the staff here and the wonderful people in the forums!

Thank you all and I look forward to participating in discussions with you.

Best;

S

Good to have you here... Where abouts in SoCal are you. I'm out in the Palm Springs area (Palm Desert) and there are quite a few of us in SoCal (Orange County, LA area, San Diego).

Check out the "Groups" feature of the site and consider joining the SoCal Golfers group. A lot of us got together last month in Fountain Valley for a little outing/tournament and are planning another one in a few months.

PS: sucks that you got your clubs stolen; I know how that feels as I had it happen to me about 1 1/2 years ago... on the plus side, you got new sticks, so that's always nice. I hope your insurance took care of you like mine took care of me!

Welcome to TST!  Great to have another solid golfer from SoCal interested in being apart of the forums.  We have some solid users and golfers located in Socal... Hope to see you on here more, and perhaps you'd be interested in getting out and playing in one of our upcoming outings?  As Tristan mentioned, check out the Groups section.

Thanks Tristan and BC;

i live in Studio City and work in Santa Monica. I just joined the socal group and woud definitely be interested in the golf outings. As an addicted golfer I have managed to find a way to play golf at many courses in california, Nevada, AZ, Ore and Wash. In other words I am not afraid to throw the sticks in the car and get out!

Thanks again, and I look forward to possibly meeting up with you guys soon.

      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.
