Glad you all enjoyed.   Todsy’weather was fantastic for golf so the few of us that opted to stay the night were rewarded.

 

Beautiful day - best 18 of the year for me! What was the name of that course we played near Akron?

Brookledge Golf Club was very nice.   The greens were quick and undulating.  The holes seemed to be unique and manicured very good.    I enjoyed the course.

BTW, the score of “90” was a very good effort by @brockman21 and @Dwalk2088. At a casual glance 90 doesn’t look impressive, but the format was not going to produce a “normal” two person team score like “65”. Their winning margin was 6 shots clear of the pack of challengers at 96 to 100.

Right… because par was 93. They shot -3.

  • 3 x 10 = 30
  • 5 x 3 = 15
  • 12 x 4 = 48
  • 30 + 15 + 48 = 93

25 holes of golf.

One last question, did anyone putt for birdie (gross) on #18? That hole played long with the green perched on top of the hill (or little mountain?).

I wouldn't have been able to make this even if I didn't do my usual disappearing act but will there be another outing this summer?

Depends on whether someone wants to organize something. Seems unlikely, at least one I can attend, as I'll get into Behrend stuff in mid-August, and early August feels very close.

I'd be up for something in late August and could help coordinate. Weekend of Aug 25-27 would be ideal. August 11-13 maybe an option as well.

I'm in the finger lakes area of western NY. Maybe we move this event a bit more to the east? Let's see if there's some interest and then start a new thread if so.

I've blogged about my wanderings since 2003. I love roaming throughout the USA looking for remote public golf courses to play.

Christian may also look to just get a small group together for instruction at the end of July or early August.

Either way, a new topic would be good. We can change the title as plans firm up (or don't).

Please tag me if/when you start a topic for the trip. I’m not certain I can make it but I would try.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
