I had a chance to play here a few times recently http://www.horseshoebayfarms.net/

On the first round we were held up for half an hour on the watching a wedding party take pictures on the 18th green. lol


Anyone else love playing other Troon courses? My wife and I would like to plan a trip for next year.

I have played two Troon courses out here in AZ...Talking Stick and Estrella Golf Club.

I like Troon courses, they seem challenging, and are nice for the green fee. I also like all the "small" stuff like complimentary range balls, water, snacks, and various do-dads. Shoot...we were on the course, it was 106*, and the cart girls brought us wet towels that smelled good. I was pleased.

In My Grom Bag:
Rapture Driver (10.5*)
Rapture 3 wood (14*)
G5 22* Hybrid
Eye 2+ (Blue-Dot) 4-PW iWedge 54/60 PAL-2i (Isopur); G2 ZSB Pro V1xHome Course: Rio Salado Golf Club (63.6/101)

There is a Troon Golf facility in Branson, MO called Branson Creek. I play there a few times a year and it is always in incredible condition. The fairways are always mowed and perfect, greens are very fast and firm but they hold great. There rough isn't too high, but enough of a challenge if you get in it. The course is pretty easy as it is more of a tourist course. It is pretty wide open and most holes play downhill. There are a few holes with trouble, but you have to really hit it bad to get into too much trouble on the majority of holes. There are five different tees to choose from and can become harder from the tips. It has one of the best practice facilities I have ever seen as well (range balls are included in green fees). Two putting greens, a chipping green, and sand traps.

Easily it is the best public course in Southwest Missouri and probably top 5 in the state.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

just a clafification: we ko pa is managed by obgolf not troon golf. ob has a eagle mountain, longbow, and whole list of properties. Troon Golf is the giant with courses under management all over the world. Talking Stick, Troon North both have two golf courses owned or managed by Troon Golf. There are many others. suggest web site Troongolf.com will get info for you.

regards from scottsdale

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
