A Freddy Couples course:

It looks gorgeous!

I'm taking the wife and kids down in July to visit family and this course is right next door to where I grew up. Of course back then, I had no interest in golf whatsoever. My brother, who finally got me to give the game a go by giving me his old clubs 2 years ago will be there too and we are going to play this beauty and maybe another in the Hollister/Gilroy area.

Any comments on San Juan Oaks, or recommendations for other nice courses in the area? I saw one called "Eagle Ridge" in Gilroy that looks very nice.

Wow. Seriously - no one has played this course???

C'mon California Sandtrappers, spill the beans.

Or Ridgemark CC in my hometown of Hollister. Anyone ever play that?

Its in great shape but is incredibly tough. It's a pretty tough walk if thats how you play. Don't let your ego convince you to play the wrong tees, its plenty hard from the whites. Above all, make sure you are hitting your driver straight, but it is definetly worth playing at least once, maybe 2 ot 3 times depending on the length of your stay. I haven't played Ridgemark, but I have heard great things about it.

Useless, Thanks for the info!!!

Sounds like a tough course, but i'm pretty sure I want to give it a crack (the price is right as well). My best scores so far have been on the courses that, in my area, are supposedly the toughest.

Google earth is so awesome... I've been able to get a close up look at the course from a distance:

looks like this course will really let you feel like you are getting away from everything, which is one of my favorite qualities in a course. That split fairway looks pretty challenging!

I also found out that it is the site of the first stage qualifying tournament for Q School!

excited.

      Discipline

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      Great post and I agree with almost all of it. The discipline piece is real — most golfers want the result without the reps. One thing I'd add: there's a version of discipline that happens away from the range too. The 20 handicapper who texts the next day with a full-speed video — that's not just a practice discipline problem. That's an identity problem. He still sees himself as a 20 handicap who's trying something new. He hasn't made the internal shift to being the golfer who practices with intention. I work on the mental side of the game and what I've found is that the golfers who actually stick with the slow, boring, disciplined practice are the ones who've done some internal work on who they believe they are as a golfer. The ones who quit after two range sessions never changed the story they tell themselves. They're still running the old software. Discipline isn't just "will you do the reps." It's "do you believe you're the type of golfer who does the reps." That belief piece is what separates the ones who text you the next day with a full-speed swing from the ones who actually put in the work.
