Rock Barn Golf & Spa. Period.

They have two 18-hole courses there. One is a Robert T. Jones Jr design and the other is a Tom Jackson. Played them both and both are incredible. The Tom Jackson is the easier of the two and is quite hilly. The Jones course is pretty long and pretty damn tough. Well worth it if you can play them.

3-wood: 906F 13*
Irons: Forged Blades

I've heard of a place called Roan Valley I think? Supposed to be pretty nice, not sure how far from Hickory though. My parents have a place near Boone which is about an hour away, but all the courses I know around there are private.

In my bag:

Driver: SQ 9.5, Graphite Stiff Shaft
3 Wood: Diablo 13 degree, Stiff Shaft
2 Hybrid: SQ 18 degree, Steel Stiff ShaftIrons: MP-30, 3-PWSW: 56* Vokey Copper spin-milledFW 52* VokeyFlat Stick Zing 2Ball: Pro V1x

Springdale Golf Club. South of Waynesville about half an hour west of Asheville. Decent course with hilly terrain on the front nine. Known for it's relation to "Cold Mountain" of novel and movie fame. Has one of the toughest par 4's I've ever played. Not the best maintained course, but certain views are breathtaking.

      39, +4. A bit better hip slide stuff. More lateral, less turn with the hips.

      I added to total today by hopping it in on the first hole for an eagle. A short par 4, I hit 4 wood to 110. With a little breeze in my face I hit a 50 degree gap wedge to 2 feet and watched it hop into the hole for an eagle 2!

      Sounds good. Text me if you have any questions. You have a good setup, too, and so long as you can get good camera angles… you should be good. https://skillest.com/@iacas

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 14 (September 18).  Morning practice, despite questionable weather (it's raining).   Worked on chipping at first, including run-ups with UW and PW;  I've noticed lately some of my near-GIRs are missing forward, with nothing but grass ahead of me, but 20-30 yards to the pin.  After a few misadventures putting those lately, I wanted to at least get a feeling for what a 30-yard chip shot that doesn't have the variance of my quarter lob wedge would feel like.  I still think "putt when you can putt" is right, but... I am less sure I have a 30 yard putt in me.  Range time also, of course, same routine as the past week or so (drill, 3-4 slow shots, etc).   Did not get to the putting green as it was starting to come down a bit more. Darn, it really is raining.  And I thought today would be a perfect day to play, seeing as how it's 9-18 and all.
