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.

      This Putting Product Actually Seems Like it May Have Some Value.

      By snapfade ·

      I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.

      Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By billchao ·

      It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.

      Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
