Howdy to all. My name is Jim. I'm a semi-retired real estate developer living up in the San Juan Islands area of Puget Sound.

I'm a big fan of the game and traditions of golf. I follow the tour consistently on PGATOUR.com and am disappointed that there is no interactive forum there to solve problems, ask questions and discuss events. I hope that finding this site will fill that void.

Bury me with a golf glove in my pocket - just in case!

Welcome... I too use PGATour.com for watching highlights and reading news. I followed Bryant a little today in his win at the Tour Championship. Its nice to get a little video "on demand" on the weekends.

I live just down the road from you... and I sure wish the rain would let up for half a second so I could play nine holes. We drove down from the Bellingham area last night and just about got blown off the road with all the wind and rain. Not a very pleasant drive in that weather.

Hope you enjoy the Sand Trap.

Oddly, weather here isn't too much of a problem, unless it's just frigid. I found this place because a pilot I met told me they call it the "Blue Hole". I've been here two years and can only think of one stretch that kept us off the course for three straight days. Even when storm fronts are coming through, that rain shadow effect from the Olympic range gives us good shelter and playing opportunities. Since I live on the course, I don't have to drive to go see or rely on someone in the proshop. If I see it clearing, I call a friend and tee it up.

Sometime, you'll have to grab a ferry and stop in for a round.

Sounds like a plan. I'd love to get over to the "Blue Hole" and play some golf. I'd play golf just about any place... That snow golf they do in Iceland isn't too far fetched for me. Well, maybe a little.

"That snow golf they do in Iceland isn't too far fetched..."

I met a guy last year who said he went to Iceland on a golf tour in the summer. He said it was only dark for about an hour; they played a morning round at abour 5:00 AM then had early lunch and played again in the afternoon. Then took a break and had dinner before playing the evening round.

They played three rounds a day for three days. I don't think I could handle that much.

      Day 53. Played 9. Couldn’t find the bottom of the swing arc. It was bad.

      Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.
