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.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

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.

      2-man Ambrose V 1-man Playing Best of 2 Balls

      By trapper2000 ·

      ..maybe 1 shot HC change might be a good starting point..

      2-man Ambrose V 1-man Playing Best of 2 Balls

      By trapper2000 ·

      Yeah, I have a similar view. I was in the team of 2 and we got down 5 after 5. Get 1 pt if win the hole - whatever that game is called. We lost it 3 down with 2 to play so almost saved it. After the first hole when the single did a putt, then dropped a second ball, made a slight adjustment and sunk it, we thought it wasn't right. We couldn't do anything with handicaps etc so we just made them wait between putts - usually just one of us to putt. We were a 23 and 25 handicappers (probably playing to about 28) and the single was a 16 handicapper, but somehow had a HC of 20 (so that is 1 HC pt already). In terms of making it fair, and changing HC (HC1 + HC2 / 4), I think maybe adding 2 HCs to the double (or taking 2 HC off the single (after the adding and div by 4) might make it fair. Also maybe making a rule that the single couldn't change clubs for the second hit. Hard to say from that one game but possibly: - 2 shot HC adding - can't change clubs for second shot - need to have other team putt in between their 2 putts   Not sure. Do you think you'd still win or have these rules made it unfair the other way? Cheers for thoughts..
