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.

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.

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,

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.

    • Yes. The full swing is not that different, and speed is important with all of them. You don't see Tour players hitting their driver 310 and then hitting their 7I 160. Of course, but they're nothing like those for the full swing.
    • How about with the high numbered irons such as the 9 iron? Is the swing the same with that? If that's the case then I stand corrected.  OK, although there is physics involved in the putt too. 
    • I have a master's in Spanish linguistics and I like black holes.
    • I didn't say it was unfeasible. That's not what you said. And… be careful there. Not around the club's COM, man.
    • Our public course has red penalty areas marked with red stakes. The stakes are imprecisely placed, often overgrown or missing. Our golf club has no control over how the stakes are placed. We have therefore decided to create a local rule to define the penalty areas by physical features and ignore the red stakes.  Also, most of the currently marked penalty areas are because of an overgrown creek behind dense ground vegetation. The penalty areas are marked (roughly) at the edges of the dense vegetation (see picture example). Players cannot see the creek. The dense vegetation looks the same on holes where there is no creek and no penalty area. For consistency and to reduce confusion, we have decided to define all edges of dense ground vegetation as penalty area.   This adopts a popular USGA recommendation from 2019. Committee Procedures 2C(2) cautions: "A Committee may define the edge of a penalty area by clearly describing it in writing but should do so only if there will be little or no doubt where the edge is. For example, where there are large areas of lava or desert that are to be treated as penalty areas, and the border between these areas and the intended general area is well defined, the Committee could define the edge of the penalty area as being the edge of the lava bed or desert."  We are going ahead, but IMO "little or no doubt" is not possible. For example, the "edge of desert", no matter how "well defined" is often not a distinct line. Sand and grass may intermingle. An edge defined this way will never be as clear as stakes or a line. We will see what happens!  Other comments: I believe the change will improve pace of play. And have minimal effect on handicaps. (Seems like I saw a study of this, but unable to find it again.)    Does anyone have a similar experience with defining penalty areas by physical features? How did that go?
