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.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Wow, a new season is upon us.  At this stage I have about 36 days of referee work scheduled, and I know I'll pick up a few more later in the season.  I have a couple of highlights, including two USGA qualifiers.  First is the US Senior Open at the Homestead, VA, second is for the US Senior Women's Open and Senior Amateur.  In just about two weeks I'll be co-chair for a college women's championship near Baltimore, a bit of a step up in responsibility.  The other highlight will be the Kenridge Invitational in Charlottesville, VA.  That one has had the same four officials for a few years, and I was specifically invited to take the spot of a retiring referee.  Apparently I'm doing something right. We had a difficult situation this past week at a junior event.  Two players approached me while walking off the 17th green.  They said they had noticed another player marking, lifting, and aligning his ball while it was on the fringe of the green, NOT on the green.  That's a 1-stroke penalty (Rule 9.4 for anyone who cares), and I told them to talk to the Player in order to make sure the score was recorded correctly.  Apparently that went fine, the Player realized he'd made a mistake, and accepted the Penalty gracefully.  His father, on the other hand, became irate, cursing at the two Players, cursing at the guy in charge of the competition, even cursing at the fathers of the two boys.  Not much anyone could to except to let him rant, but its sad to see.
