Hey DFB...where are you at in Jersey? I lived in Central Jersey while in college. There are many nice courses in that area. In fact, I worked at the TPC at Jasna Polana for 2 seasons and played Springdale (on Princeton's Campus) many times.

Welcome from me and the black bears of Sussex County!

Ive moved around alot. I lived in South jersey for a few years and picked up the game down there. I live in North Jersey, now. I must say I prefer south jersey courses to North Jersey ones, but I still don't know much about where to play up here. I was a member at cream ridge and I drove all the way down there over the weekend to play there with some friends. Nice course for the money.

  • 3 weeks later...
played my first round yesterday. have a sligh right hand injury (middle finger/knuckle) but it didnt affect my swing fortunately.

Shot an 86 (par 71) which was better than i hoped. I went to the range for an hour last week, before that I hadn't touched my clubs since September. I had a number of shanks and skulls, and really couldn't hit much.

But on the course i got back into the groove, thinking about the shot and not the swing.

Still my sandwedge was a bit rusty and was off on a few of my irons (ending in the bunker 3 times). Lost some accuracy on my fwy woods, plus to boot the greens were also much slower than usual.

So with 4 doubles on those holes with the unusual mishits I only went 7 over on the other 14 holes. That part I'm quite happy with. I should be able to get back comfortably below 85 where I usually play to my 9 hdcp.

I'm playing a team event on Fri 5/16... 27 holes... three 9 hole better ball matches plus a playoff to the flight winners.

I'm definitely excited for this years golf and all the matches

Hello,

I am also new to this forum. I live in Livingston and have played Francis Byrne for the first time. Liked the course. Hope to get to know everyone better.

Hello,

Welcome,

I played Byrne a lot in the past, they shove groups off each 8 minutes, which backup on the 2nd hole... front 9 takes 3 hrds on the wkd, back nine about 2.5. You still find that's the case? I prefer the Morris Cty course, Flanders is quite nice and they keep you to 4.5 hrs.

Welcome,

I have only played there once. It moved pretty well. However the day I played, it had rained earlier so it wasn't peak time. It did take about 5 hours in total though. How do you guys put the club info as the signature?

Thanks for your reply. For whatever reason I don't have the edit signature function available. Oh well. Anyone else have this problem?

Thank you, everybody in this message board has been so helpful.

Hopefully I will be good enough one day to contribute my own tips and advice.

    • Just like the 2022, 2021, 2020, 2023, and 2024 topics, we're doing it again in 2025! Once again, I'd like to birdie every hole at Whispering Woods in 2025 (and maybe every numbered hole on other courses). I'd like you to join me on this quest. I'll have a better chance this year if I don't completely screw up my left thumb in August, too… 😉 This year's spreadsheet is below: 2025 TST Birdie Challenge - Google Sheets Please click through, add your name, home course, and location, and when you make a score on the holes as you play them, update your line in the spreadsheet with your ringer score, basically. The idea is to score a birdie or better on each hole on the course this year. If you're above a certain handicap and would like to make it a par challenge, go for it! Just add that note to the Notes column. Please leave the formatting as is. And note that you only write down one score - if you birdie a hole three times, you aren't writing down -3. It's just your best individual score for each hole. We can all cheer each other on and see where this takes us! If you truly play a TON of different courses, then follow these two guidelines: If you just play a lot of golf, but still get 20 or 25 (or more) rounds in on one course, consider making that your home course and just doing the birdie challenge there. If you truly play only 20-40 rounds per year, and never more than a handful at the same course, consider trying to birdie holes numbered 1 to 18 across all of your courses. Or even doing it twice. Yeah, some hole #17s will be easier birdies than others, but that's why you might do it twice.
    • He was lied to on several fronts. But, was also dumb enough to believe them all.
    • 'Nothing changes; there is only money': Cut from LIV, former winner shares frustration Eugenio Chacarra, 24, intends to chase a PGA Tour card once his suspension ends in September. I wonder how many LIV players are feeling the same... Based on some of the news stories, I am guessing John Rahm may be one of those who regrets forgoing competition in lieu of $$$.  But others like Phil, probably likes the $$$ since he has accomplished much in the PGA and is in waning years.
