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.

      Use a tripod. Pretty essential golf equipment these days anyway. https://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing

      Did you use the code here? 🙂  That's good, though. You should always have one charged. 😄

      I will think about it but I would have to have my sister record it and as I recently put a hole into the outside shed window with a golf shot she might not be overkeen,,,lol

      Nah. 🙂 I was S all the way, but it requires unanimity, so… we were getting close to 20:00 at that point. 😄

      Huh?  No. Why would you just accept it? That doesn't make sense to me. You can start a MySwing thread for free and then either you or somebody else out here may have some ways to help you. You may even be able to diagnose your own problem.  If you are embarrassed by your swing that's all the more reason to record it. Nobody here is going to judge you for your golf swing. ... maybe your fashion sense or your music taste but certainly not your golf swing. 👍🤣👍
