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.

Thanks

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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
