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.

here in dc we don't have many troon courses (i've played a few in Atlantic City NJ), but i just finished off a trip that had me staying at two troon properties (inn at estrada in st george utah and troon north in scottsdale az) and played one troon course (talking stick)...

i always know i'm in for a professional experience when playing a troon track...

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

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!

      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
