I mostly play at Sammons. But I also like Stonetree in Killeen and Cottonwood Creek in Waco. I played at Greenbrier last summer and its not too bad. That was the first time I ever broke 100.

I've never played at Wildflower. It looks nice, but I don't know anyone with a membership.

Greenbriar is where I learned the game. Played there many, many times.

Cottonwood is the best value I've found in the region. $20 twighlights on weekends and perfect greens, doesn't get too much better.

Cottonwood is a fantastic course. I played at Stonetree in Killeen today and the greens are HORRIBLE. They are just now transitioning from winter to summer and are bare sand with patches of grass. In a few weeks it should be nice again though.

Hey guys:

I'd love it if this thread becomes a good discussion of Central Texas course conditions.

On that theme, has anyone played Jimmy Clay or Roy Kizer in the last 6 weeks. I really like Kizer, but the conditions about 4 months ago were so bad (dead greens) that I haven't gone near it since.

Just checking to see if they have improved.

Thanks!

I haven't played them recently, but I'm fairly confident that they're in good shape. Clay and Kizer are always in good shape. I would call and ask the proshop, they won't lie to you.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
