If anyone wants to say hi, I often go to the driving range at the Highlands Performance Golf Center after work.

It is in Carrollton. Besides that I am mostly in Dallas and Plano.

275 views and no comment. I guess it is because it is winter here and the holiday season?

hEY @Nave ! Sorry for not responding. I am in West Fort Worth. I am trying to heal from shoulder/knee injuries (AGAIN!) so I haven't been to the range or course for over a month. Have a feeling it will be later this month, weather permitting. Let's keep it going! Best, -Marv

Happy New Year!

The Tribute Golf Club is ending it's existing Player's Club membership now that Old American and The Tribute are run by the same management company.  They are now offering two different levels of membership (full and limited) to both clubs and a more expensive Player's Club membership.  Not sure what I am going to do for 2020.  Both courses are super convenient and practice facilities are pretty darn good.

I'm in your boat as well.  I wish Frisco Lakes had a package close to that but I'm on the lookout for something.

Since you wrote that post, old bones are doing much better. Started phys therapy on knee last week and that's doing great! Have gone to the range twice and am adjusting. So, all in all, very blessed to be looking forward to warmer weather and GOLF! Hope you and yours are well and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL DFW GOLFERS!  Best, -Marv

Recently I started taking lessons at the Highlands Performance GC. Yesterday was my first lesson of the year and it snowed. For that one occasion, the beauty of the snow covered range made the lesson even more enjoyable (although on a mat and under the radiator).

After I complete my lessons in February, I will be looking to either join a country club or use the Golf Now app to find last minute deals and after I familiarize myself with a few CC then choose one that I like (can afford) later in the year. 

Happy 2020!

Hello, is anyone still active in this thread? I just found it.

 

Hey! Not really. We use the main forum for any events or local group outings. This one is used to know who is in the same area.

Hello. I moved out of Texas. 

Does anyone want to become the owner of this Dallas–Fort Worth Golfers club please?

Thank you,

@Nave I am not sure what it means to be the owner, and not sure it gets enough views to keep, but I would be willing to do it.

Thank you @dzclarkcpa It is so I don't delete this in case some people decide to communicate here. Mostly the users write in the general forum anyway.

Either way, I appreciate it. Wishing you all lots of fun golfing in DFW.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
