Got to play Trump National yesterday up in Palos Verdes CA. Had a great day with 2 of my buddies and our instructor. We played the blue tees which ended up being too short at 6300 yds. The views were unbelievable. The only thing I can compare it to is Poipu Bay in Kauai. There are a few really good holes but I thought the track was just ok. At 300.00 per on the weekend it is not for everyone. Fortunately for us it was comped. I am no golf snob by any means but thought it was over the top with a very mediocre golf course set in a spectacular background. I shot 81 with 3 doubles. Lots of trouble if you don't drive it straight. We are supposed to play Torrey south in 2-3 weeks so I am looking forward to that.

What I play:

I havent had the chance to play Trump National, it looks really nice. Hopefully some day, but wow! thats is a short track!

Have fun at Torrey. I played there yesterday. They cut the rough so its not deadly anymore, but the course is still in great shape.

I've played there once too. I'll agree that it is a bit over the top, two man-made waterfalls on a course with ocean views? Our group thought that was a bit weird. Other than that, I enjoyed it a lot. Except when I drove my ball into the rough, sheesh, that stuff is t h i c k. There was also one really goofy green, and massive undulation and the pin was in about the most impossbile place. We played form the back tees. It is quite a bit more of a beast from there, a few 500+ par 4s, I did birdie one though! And that last hole from the back its like a 250 yard carry to the fairway. Actually I just remembered I took pictures, and I got one of that nutty green...

The full album

Crazy 12th green. This is a view from a different tee. The front of the green is on the right. Our pin was in the nasty swail just over the bunker.



Long walk to the 18th tee



What your faced with once you walk back there...



Oh, I forget the bazillion bunkers guarding the green. That's me in the fairway though!

That course looks amazing. What's the yardage from the tips Ben? 6300 sounds awfully short, they must have some really tough holes there?

Oh, only 1000 yards extra.. haha. 7311.

Yeah, some tough ones out there. 180 the shortest par 3. two 500+ par 4s. 615 yard par 5. And like I said, the rough is ROUGH! Not, the place to be.

      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!!

      Day 23: Rained all day, so no ball hitting. Worked indoors on top of the backswing feel, and also putted around the living room working on bead.

      Played Four Oaks in Dracut today going back to the 2 man scramble match play format. My brother and I shot a team 81 winning 3 and 2. Had so many good shots today using a more centered turn. Seems to have really iginited my golf game. We'll see if I can keep it going.
