That was a lot of fun and a big help to my golf game to boot. I definitely got everything I expected (and more) out of my first professional golf lesson. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to the round today, but I'll definitely be keeping on eye out for future TST outings.

I couldn't be more happy about all of this. It was a real treat meeting everyone and getting my butt kicked by a windy Whispering Woods.

P.S. Buddy Christ is back baby!

I laughed, I cried, It was better than Cats.

It was great meeting everyone. Really, a lot of fun. Now, I have to find a white belt.

Ok, got back at 9:30 last night and crashed hard for 9 hours but well worth it.

First, big thanks to @iacas for setting the weekend up.  I had an absolute blast and as mentioned earlier, well worth every penny.  

My apologies to @DrizZzY and especially @Hardspoon who was forced to ride with me for my eternal bitching at least on the front 9.  No excuses but failing to get a good nights sleep really impacted me more than it should have but I hope by the back 9, I was more fun to hang out and play with.

Great day (weekend) of golf.  Thanks to @iacas for setting this up.  If only I could make 4' putts, I'd have another $60 to spend on golf instruction!

Even short-handed, Group #4 (@RFKFREAK, @DrizZzY) cleaned UP - quota game winner and (8) skins...

Pwning souls up at Whispering Woods!

It was a pleasure to meet everyone. Today was a blast and I was glad we only go hit with a few short lived rain showers. 

Dude, def a pleasure.  Next time you gotta show us how you hit that 2 iron so well! :banana:

Plus, one, dude.  Next time, though, don't get in the way when I'm practicing my flop shot. :whistle:

I'm still mystified that someone doesn't like cake or donuts?! :bugout:

In Buffalo they have Paula's Donuts. Lines form. These things are the BOMB. Maybe I can bring a couple dozen to the next meet-up.

I wouldn't say it was "eternal"...I mean, you stopped bitching long enough to hit each shot.  :)

(Just kidding...it was fun...we've all been in that mood when playing badly!)

Lol..

Y'all were lot of fun to spend the weekend with. Honestly the best parts was catching up with old friends and now getting to put a face on the the handles of new friends. Shout out to @iacas, CHQ learning center and Whispering Woods Golf Course for the great rate for the outing. Course was in great shape. 

Hope we can do it again. Bagels and donuts on me next time around. I am certain both qualify as breakfast of champions! 😜

My wife pointed out to me yesterday that it's been more than 2 weeks now since returning from the event in PA/NY. 
So, therefore, it looks like I didn't catch any COVID'y stuff while out and about away from home.

Just barely. Not because of the COVID, but I'm pretty sure the other people in my foursome wanted to wrap me upside the head with my driver about eleventeen times about the 7th or 8th time a dead pulled a driver into the trees and had to take 3 (or 5) from the tee.

    • Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,
    • I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
