I've been in the NY area for a long time, and never knew about this course. Wonder what other courses that I might like I've totally missed. There has got to be a better way to find local courses. I thought I knew them all. I suck. Lucked into finding this via Instagram. Score one for social media. Course is right up my alley based on first glance. Nothing fancy, reasonable rates. 9 hole options.

If I know about it, I wouldn't be posting about it here 😉

Plenty of courses around here. I may have heard the names, but I don’t know anything “about” most of them.

There's a course a few towns away from where I grew up called Whitinsville Golf Club. Around a decade ago I saw it on a list of best nine-hole courses in the country. I had no idea it even existed. 

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

Just discovered it. Will play it this weekend.

Another one I just learned about is Middle Bay.

Hopefully the weather cooperates. The Blue course at Timber can get nasty if the winds kick up. Gibraltar!

Thanks. I actually like hitting the ball low.

Also Bergen Point. 

Apparently I need to get my head out of my butt.

I play Bergen quite frequently. Right up the road from me. West Sayville is a fun course right up the road from Timber.

El Cariso, in Sylmar, CA. County owned. I've heard the name because OJ played there when he had nowhere else to play, I guess. Found it a couple of years ago. Turned out to be a nice course, will all the water they want, even during the drought.

Navy “Cruiser” GC - Cypress, CA. 9 hole course. Technically it wasn’t off my radar, but the last time I had played there was 20 years ago or more. I just started playing again in 2017 and only recently played there again. It was kind of rough in the “old days”, so I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it is now.

Legacy Golf Course on Lanier Islands

The greens fee includes range ball, soft drinks, and food.  Their "cathead" breakfast biscuit is enormous, and delicious.  The course itself is very nice and well maintained, and it feels like a bargain at twice the price.

      Why You Don't Get Better After Lessons (Video)

      By iacas · Posted

      My notes as I work through the video: Assumes Good Instruction This video assumes that the instructor is competent and that you're getting decent to good to great instruction. There are a lot of not-so-good instructors out there. This video doesn't apply to those situations. Be Prepared at the Start of the Lesson Get there 30-45 minutes early and go through a good warmup. Share information on what kinds of shots you're seeing, what clubs are giving you trouble, injury history or limitations, etc. Do not presume to share the fixes — that's why you're there for a lesson — just share what you're seeing and doing and feeling. Do Not Rapid Fire Balls Hit a shot. Absorb what you can learn about that shot from the video, coach feedback, GEARS, launch monitor… etc. Detach the immediate results from what you "just did." Go Slow No notes here - go slowly. If you're working on your backswing, continue at a slow pace and finish the swing. Don't just reset and then "try" to do that thing again at nearly your regular speed. Understand that It Will Take Months It's going to take months, often, to show up on the golf course. Players constantly under-estimate this time. And that's months if you are pretty good about working on it well. (Some things are faster - ball position, grip, etc.). Seriously, Go Slowly I once faked a guy out by making a swing so slowly (about 25% speed) that it looked like it was recorded and being played back in slow motion. He said "wow, that's an incredible change." But it was regular speed video… I was just going at 1/4 speed. (He couldn't see that the ball went about 15 yards only.) Use Feedback Lots and lots of feedback. Cameras especially. Ball feedback some. Take Notes It's your lesson, so take charge of it in terms of writing down what you need to write down. The coach will often do this too, but they don't know what thoughts are going on in your head. Write it down. Ask to record a video on your phone. Stay in Contact Reach out to your coach between lessons. Sometimes this may be an extra charge… but often a coach wants to hear from you a little bit between lessons.
