Not too familiar with that area, but I don't really get north of Newark unless I'm traveling. How are the courses around there?

Not too bad. There plenty of munis to choose from where not far from where I live. I play Rockleigh and Overpeck mostly which are both typically well maintained and offer a nice challenge. Blue Hill in Rockland County, NY is a short drive and is excellent for a muni as well. If I want something nicer I’ll head to one of the Crystal Springs courses. No complaints regarding options.

Where are you usually playing?

Somerset County courses mostly. They have Neshanic Valley which is really nice for a muni.

Once in a while I'll drag @nevets88 out to a golf course and we usually pick a good course neither one of us plays regularly. Last time we played Highbridge Hills, but it was a toss up between that or Heron Glen.

I've only been to Crystal Springs once and played Crystal Springs. I did not like that course. It had some nice looking holes but I didn't like the layout. Should probably head back and try some of the others.

I’ve played that one as well. I liked it but I only really remember the one hole where you hit the ball off a cliff to the green. That and how tight the houses were to the course.

I tried to get on Neshanic once but there was a long frost delay and I was short on time so I ended up at the Stonybrook executive course instead. I definitely need to revisit.

Welcome to TST!  I grew up in Bergen County, but didn't really start playing golf until I moved away.  Definitely some good courses up there.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 20: 12/30/2024 I've been working on my swing in front of the mirror today. Spent a lot of time at slow speed, mid speed and a couple at full speed. I just came back in from the garage where I practiced my PPJ swing by hitting about 10 balls with the 6-iron into my net.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I'm just guessing here. But couldn't Titleist build a mini-driver with a very low center of gravity? Then it would work off the deck. The deep face wouldn't be as problematic.  I'm just spit-balling. I know nothing about this product.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, but a deeper face makes it not as useful off the fairway. This is why the driver is not easy to hit off the fairway.  For a select few PGA Tour players, it might be good. The concept of the mini driver has been around for a long time now. Very few ever keep it in their bag. This is a guess, but probably because it sucks off the ground. Nothing here looks like it is any different than the other mini drivers of the past.  I get it from Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris point of view. They hit the ball a long way. The odds they ever hit a 3-wood off the turf is like what, a handful a times a year? They probably would hit it 98% off the tee and 2% off the ground. They probably want something that think is longer off the tee versus their 3-wood because they don't hit the 3-wood off the ground much at all.  This is where I say, Titleist claiming "worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck." is more marketing than something that is actually beneficial to a golfer. This is primarily for off the tee.
