For those of you who take the LIRR to play Bethpage, on a lark, I tried walking from the station to the clubhouse today. It's not a bad walk - about 20-25 minutes - and it was pretty toasty out there today. I'd lighten my bag 2 or 3 pounds next time, but it's something I'll be trying more often.

For a perspective on the price, if you walk, and you already have an unlimited Metrocard, the cost to get to Bethpage is the same as it is to take the van to the range at Randall's Island.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Around what time did you get there? Which day of the week?

I tried it on a weekday, but it doesn't matter when you get there, the walk takes the same amount of time.

I really don't need to save money that badly, but it's another option that's available.

Most people are probably thinking, uh-huh, I'll take the cab, thank you.

How'd you do? What did you shoot? What was the condition of the course? I'm looking to play bethpage in a few weeks- to test my self against tough conditions. I've been getting a lot of birdies on my usual course... Cant wait to triple bogey bethpage!

Yeah, a lot of pressure. Rise above it. Harness in the good energy, block out the bad. Harness energy, block bad.
Feel the flow, Happy. It's circular. It's Like a carousel. You get on the horse. It goes up, down and around. Circular. Circle. With the music,the flow. All good things.I...

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By WillieT ·

      From what I’ve read, it was in the manufacturing process and how the covers were nicking pretty easy.  He has had to resource his factory as the one used earlier is now a TM owned facility.  Initial reports seem to indicate the redesign is going to be a winner…

      Day 129: 5/4/24 Stack training but could not certify my warmup speed. Dealing with a pulled neck muscle. Chips and pitches at a local course for about 15 minutes.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By mchepp ·

      Typically less than 50. I find this can be affected by the "CART" signs on a given course. I don't like taking my rangefinder out of the cart and carrying it around to the green. I am very fearful I will leave it somewhere.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By JetFan1983 ·

      First ever holed out greenside bunker shot! It's crazy it took this long to finally get one during a round, but the cold streak is officially over. Hole 6 on the Palmer Course at PGAN. I hit my driver like 225 into a really stiff wind, then worm burned a hybrid into the bunker. I was about I dunno, 40-45 feet away. Birdie! Let's go! The red Xs the approximate location of each shot.  Really fun!!
