Canton for me. I go to Pekin often. I use to hit balls at Lick Creek.

How is Lick Creek ?

I was looking for suggestions on courses to play in Peoria and Bloomington areas. I seen Lick Creek come up as one of the higher rated course in the area.

Lick Creek is in pretty nice shape. Pretty hard, fast greens, narrow fairways. They just redid the tee boxes, fairways, and green 2-3 years ago and went to bent grass. Prices are pretty good too. I think somewhere like $30-40 (greens fee and single 18 hole cart) for non pekin residents. I would recommend the course.

Grew up across the River from Quincy, town called Canton. Bought my last set of clubs from Nan's Golf World back in 94 or 95.
Went to Pekin for work a couple years back, first time in a long time I was in a bar and it wasn't a cardinals bar. Took me a few minutes to figure out why the Cards game wasn't on and why they had no intention of changing the channel!
I currently live in METRO STL, or rather, the Il side of st louis.

Hi Jamie, I actually live just outside canton. It is a small world!

No, I'm smarter than that. I root for a team that actually has won the world series in my lifetime! The Cardinals.

Heck. Where's the fun in rooting for a team that actually wins a World Series?

gotta root for the Cubs. They last won in 1908!

I hope you guys are all cub fans!

White Sox all the way

I grew up in that insignificant parcel of Illinois known as "Not Chicago." I am very familiar with the Peoria area.

Haha, I just tell everyone I'm from Chicago, it's easier. Then if they care to know more, I say the suburbs of Chicago where everything is about an hour away.

IDK, my bff Jill?

Anyone here play the Palmer course in Bloomington, The Den at Fox Creek.
Just curious what others think of the course ?

I played it recently, I started off with 3 pars on the first 4 holes and then I got caught in the "Fox Trap" [holes 5,6,7]

Howdy from Chicago. I was just downstate at Heritage Bluffs recently.

LOL, I suppose if your from Chicago, Joliet area feels like downstate.

But really, look at the map Joliet is not in Central IL.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By iacas · Posted

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
