One more PDXer here. What school are you attending? I think Portland is a great place for golf, the whole spectrum from really cheap to really nice, and if you don't mind playing in the rain you can play year round. My buddies back in LA don't even play anymore because it is such a pain to get in a round (and expen$ive); I can just drive down the road and play 9 holes for $10 and not even bother getting a tee time.

I go to UP. I love golf here. Winter rates are cheap, and I don't mind the rain :D

I used to live a couple blocks from UP, right off Lombard. Best deal for golf there is playing the infield at Portland Meadows. I think it is about $8 to play an executive style course and no tee times, just show up and play. The course condition is not the best, but it is good for a quick practice round.

Absolutely, it's almost cheaper than hitting range balls. I also like Great Blue at Heron Lakes...pretty cheap on Monday/Tuesday.

    • Ahh the old classic "nobody agrees with me so I don't want to talk about it anymore"
    • @anaveragehacker, you’ve been ignorant this whole time and now you’re being disrespectful. Not a great combo. You asked what the rules were and we told you. You complained about them and we told you why they were the way they are. The “who is the committee?” Question has been answered a few times. Dave and I are Rules Officials and the other people replying know the rules far better than you, so the fact that we are all disagreeing with you should say something. this thread is going nowhere and your original question has been answered several times.
    • What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible. You guys are so serious it kind of proves my point. Other sports make adjustments for  field conditions etc during lower level play. This isn’t life and death here, it’s sport. No need to keep arguing. I have my opinion and you have yours.
    • Yeah, I agree that some of the charts are hard to make sense of. That short game chart is showing how often a short game shot ends up within a certain distance. The orange bar is all shots, the green bar is for shots within 25 yards, and the blue bar is for shots between 25 and 50 yards. I just play around with all of it and will figure it out. I would suggest just diving in and see what jumps out and work on that.
    • PGA Tour players weight shift to their lead foot way sooner and to a higher % than amateur. I would say it is something like close to 90% lead foot at impact for PGA Tour player. For Amateurs it could be under 50%. You need to get the weight transfer over more and sooner. You can't rely on the feeling of finishing on the lead foot as validation you did so.
