Hi everyone, 

Looking for some people to play with in the Sandhills of NC.  I live in Sanford (about 45 mins south of Raleigh).  I frequently play Sanford Golf Course, Quail Ridge in Sanford, and several different courses around Pinehurst.  I can play during the week with enough notice and sometimes on the weekends with the wife's permission. 🙂 I have a buddy that will probably tag along sometimes when he's off work.

Looking forward to playing with some new people through this community!

@Hardspoon and I were just down there last week and you could have joined us over the holiday weekend.

You have a lot of great options.

Awesome!  Keep me in mind if you guys are ever back down here.  I saw somewhere on here you shot a 69 at Tobacco Road.  Was that your first time playing that course?

No. Played it a few times before.

@Hardspoon is writing something up about the trip.

My wife and I own a condo at Talamore, we get down there a few times every year.  Our next visit will be around Thanksgiving., I'll try to remember to give you a heads-up when the time gets closer.

For what program?

If it's the PGM program… as a 10.6, are you 100% confident you can pass the PAT?

If it's not the PGM program, why Methodist?

I’m going to Methodist for the PGM program. As a 10.6 currently I will probably not pass the PAT my freshman year unless I play lights out, but I am confident that I can improve my game enough to be able to pass it by the time I graduate.

I think part of it is that I’ve outgrown my TA1s (driver down to 9 iron). I feel that getting new clubs that are fit for me will definitely help. Another factor is that I have several PGA professionals who I can go to for lessons. I also have unlimited access to the course and practice facilities on campus, so there’s no excuse to NOT practice. 

My first step: once I get settled and everything, I will look at a lesson and club fitting.

I know… my daughter attends Methodist.

Good luck.

I'd recommend taking the PAT once or twice this summer.

She passed hers the summer before her senior year of high school. I've never understood those who enter the PGM program and get to be a junior or senior and still haven't passed it (and have little chance of doing so).

Not saying you, these are sometimes people who rarely break 90.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
