It has been quite a while since I last logged onto this forum. Just wanted to check in and see what is going on. I have since moved from Dallas to the Phoenix area and was curious if there are any get togethers with the Phoenix group.

Welcome back. The weather should likely suit you more in Phoenix. It can get cold in Dallas sometimes!

Hello all,

 

I am new to the Stafford, VA area and was curious who else in here is in that area. Would love to meet up and play some golf. I am currently in Phoenix, but will be out there starting March 11.

I'm a bit north of Stafford, and I know we have a few more members in the northern Virginia area.  But Stafford?  That's not exactly a big destination, what takes you there?

Commutable to Arlington/Crystal City area, home with some acreage under $700,000, and good schools for the kids. I only have to commute once per week, so hopping on the VRE makes life easy.

Looks like we're going to probably be in the Fredericksburg area. Have you played the Gauntlet? Looks like a good track,  and membership is cheap!

I've never played the Gauntlet.  I've played Augustine, which is pretty close to the Gauntlet, and is a very solid course.

I played Meadows Farm last weekend.  Played the Waterfall/Longest combo.  Very fun golf course.  

 

Might try Lee's Hill this weekend.

Lee’s Hill is fine, much tighter course than MF

The Gauntlet, eh of a course. Too many short and weird holes, plus conditions we're terrible last time I was there, although it has been a while.

Augustine has a good layout, but last time I was there, the conditions were not so great either.  I'd join Fawn Lake Country Club or drive to Richmond, far better courses around there. Mattaponi Springs is a nice course.

Took your advice after playing the courses in the area and joined Fawn Lake. Great golf course!

 


Fawn Lake is a good one, nice.

    • Day 22 (12 Feb 25) - Short session with 7i into the net in the backyard.  Was not the best session - struggled in getting the face squared up.  Took a few steps back and did a reset.  Better contact second time around. 
    • Nope, and a bit too expensive for what I usually spend on clothing. Not sure if these pants are the kind where they are like business casual but also can be worn while doing athletic stuff (like working out).  I do own a pair of pants from VRST, and like them a lot. They got a business casual look, but very stretchy. I forgot my gym shorts to volleyball on Monday. I had these pants on and had no issues. You can literally go from work to the gym. . 
    • 100%.  Currently, it takes me several shots of various progressions to make my brain even trust that it will work.  It is so opposite from the feelings I have had for years.  And forget about adding any speed at the moment. That is just a recipe to fall back on the old habit
    • I haven't either. But there doesn't seem to be any reason why at least the pants would create any issues.
