Greetings from Central Ohio! I'm about a month back into golfing after not playing for about 17 years. I only played occasionally then, scrambles with guys from work, and terribly I might add! Hope this time around is much better!

Welcome fellow Ohioan! Similar situation with me. About a month back into it after only playing a handful of rounds in the ten years prior. I hope your return to the game as well as your coming to the forum are both positive experiences. Cheers!

Welcome to TST

We have a decent number from the Buckeye state. As you can see I'm just a bit west of you.

One thing is for sure. You got a nice selection of courses around you. I know some of the guys played NorthStar last year.

Getting to know which courses fit you best is can help your restart go a bit smoother.

Thanks mcanadiens. I’ve only been playing a few small executive courses so far. I was invited a couple weeks ago to play north star but couldn’t make it. I’m hoping to play Blackhawk a few times this season as this is their final year! I am very fortunate to have several courses near me. Most of them are still quite intimidating. I hope as I get more consistent in ball striking, that feeling goes away.

@Greg 504. Absolutely nothing wrong with hitting those executive courses to start. 

When I started seven years ago, I kind of wish my buddy had just let me stay on those sort of courses for a while instead of feeding me to courses I wasn't really ready for. 

Scout around for that next level course. Hopefully a regulation course that isn't too long and isn't too tight. Sort of the next rung on the ladder.

Welcome to that party, Greg! Good to see so many Ohio guys here. I'm on the Kentucky side of the river, but basically Cincinnati. Took a surprise tour of Troy this weekend because 75 was closed in both directions and I was trying to make it back from Michigan. 

It would be nice to get everybody together for a round sometime.

I fixed that for you. ;-)

I was just thinking of setting up something in September for people in the area. Sounds like you would be interested.

CarlSpackler, that could be a pretty good time! I still get nervous about my pace of play in large groups though. I don’t know why, seems everyone has been where I am now except for the very few naturally talented people. I’ve  quickly realized the progress is is somewhat slow with this game.

It was nice. My wife commented that she could live there. We like the downtown and the big old houses.

We’ve all been there. It’s a good time. I’ve always enjoyed meeting fellow TST members no matter what their level of play is.

Ole Carl isn’t playing so hot lately himself. Left foot is still hurting making it difficult to get my weight on it.

    • I hear you, that price is ridiculous. I’ve been dealing with AS pain for a recently, and it really messes with your game. I tried everything—painkillers, stretches, you name it—but honestly, cannabis helped me more than I thought. It didn’t take all the pain away, but it eased the stiffness and helped me move more freely, which is huge for golf. I could actually swing without feeling like my back was gonna snap.  
    • Day 245 (4 Jan 24) - Colder blustery day (temps in the upper 30’s), so I opted to work with the 7i in the back yard, hitting 30-40 yds pitches.  Stayed within pre-shot process and working smoothly thru downswing and ball.  Nice easy day reinforcing short game work in the pitch and roll arena. 
    • Okay, so like 5-6 years ago a buddy of mine and I are playing golf in Nevada. Not a tournament, but we're betting 20 bucks a side. I don't think this actually affected the outcome but I'm curious how you all would have ruled this.  We are playing a hole in which on one side of the concrete cart path is the grass on the other side is rocky, desert. My buddy hits his tee shot which comes to rest on the other side of the cart path under a prickly ugly bush. He's right handed but he turns his 7-iron upside down and addresses the ball left handed, with the club upside-down. Then he says "I get relief because I'm standing on the cart path."  "Okay" I say.   Then he drops the ball (from the shoulder as this is pre-2019) on the "good" side of the cart path within 2 club lengths no closer to the hole.  I believe he should have had to hit from the crappy side of the cart path, by dropping the ball within 2 club lengths no closer to the hole.  My contention is the nearest point of complete relief is in the desert. His contention is as long as it's within 2 club lengths no closer to the hole he can drop anywhere he wants. Who's right?  Okay, now the kicker. He declares his ball in play. Now admittedly it is less than 2 club lengths from where it came to rest and isn't any closer to the hole. Then he addresses his ball (7 iron again) right handed this time and declares he gets relief again, because he's standing on the cart path. ... Which he is.  He drops again, and now he's on the fairway, not even in the rough.  So, with two drops and no stokes he's moved from under a bush in the desert, to the rough, to the fairway.  Here's a picture which may help.   So he hits his 7 iron on the green. No penalty. I guess he may be right, but it's always felt shady and we've poked fun at each other over this incident for years now.  What do you all think?
