yes i would play the greens wont be in tip top shape but you can still have fun playing

Probably not too severe of an aeration.

Check out the Tobacco Road Golf Club near the Pinehurst area. We went years ago and had an absolute blast. It is a freakish layout that yeilded a ton of fun.

Wow, what a course. I just played it from the Ross tees (6500 yds) and it was fun. Now I know what they mean by Donald Ross domed greens. Some of the greens were off, but most were playable, probably 1 or 2 less than the normal stimp. I guess without the aeration, the greens are pretty fast. Fifty dollars for a replay, but decided to relax instead.

I fail to understand why aeration is so bad. Just check your line. The aerated greens that I've seen were never completely ripped up.. Just holes in them - they don't affect my putt any more than a wayward blade of grass does.

Ahh man I hate aeration. I think it really screws with the line and in the end is a waste of greens fee. Can't stand it.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 51 (yesterday was 50, not 59 -- that was a typo).  I didn't have a ton of time today.  I hit a dozen balls with a 6-iron in my practice room.   Amazingly, after this I did the ShotScope analysis of yesterday's round;  my approach play was at the 5 hcp level.  That's pretty darn good, but unfortunately for my score, some of that came from hitting a few good recovery shots.  But I also hit some really good approach shots that weren't from trouble!

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By JetFan1983 · Posted

      Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.
