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!

      Which Aim Point Is Correct for One Cup Outside?

      By DaveP043 ·

      Yeah, everything matters, but a half-inch is less likely to matter than 2 or 3 inches.  As the length of the putt increases, the ability to aim precisely diminishes.

      Which Aim Point Is Correct for One Cup Outside?

      By klineka ·

      Interesting.  To me "a cup" is a unit of measurement just like "a ball" is in this scenario. To me a ball out means "the aiming spot is the width of one ball from the edge of the hole", so Y, and half a ball out would be Z. Just like half a cup is C and a cup is B

      By GolfLug ·

      A cup out is B and a ball out is Z. A cup is a unit of measurement like an inch and a ball out means edge of the ball to edge of hole, as in entire ball out of the cup. Not sure how and when I arrived at that, but that's where I'm firmly at.

      By iacas ·

      Because there's a difference between a ball and a hole. A ball is easy to imagine "replace this ball with the one you're hitting," while a hole provides an "edge" and isn't really something you'd "replace" with the ball you're putting. I'm fully on board with "B" being the choice above, but I also think that many would choose "Z" if you say "a ball out." I get their logic: the entire ball is "out" of the hole, and people can picture aiming their ball at that ghost ball. But, yes, it differs from the way we talk about a hole, and that would make "left lip" and "half a ball out" the same. Yes, it feels inconsistent, but a cup and a ball are not consistent either, and I just know I've seen some contentious polls on "a ball out" more than I've seen them get contentious over "a cup out." FWIW I rarely use balls as the aiming point because of this. I feel pretty comfortable that most people will say B, but I've seen enough "ball out" polls to see that a lot of people pick Z. Yeah, I was bugged by you saying something that was almost a half inch difference at Sand Valley. 🙂 I forget the details but I think I asked if you played it a ball out (1.68") and you said something like "yeah, half a cup (2.125")." Then I said "which is it?" and you said "they're the same thing" as if the half inch didn't matter… 😄 Heh.

      Sounds like perhaps too much ulnar.
