Hi Sabram

Thank you very much for your very nice compilation of Las Vegas Clubs. Unfortunately I haven't had time yet to look at them in detail but I will do that asap and integrate them in my travel map.

As said above, I intend to post the whole route here later so that other's might use it for their own research.

Regards

I just played the Badlands Golf Course in Las Vegas last week. It was in great shape and a very challenging course. Owned by Troon Golf, Johnny Miller was one of the designers. I would choose that over the TPC only that it was less crowed and less expensive. But both would be a treat.
Je joue au golf, et j'aime ca.

Hi All

Meanwhile I've been working some more on our route and made a selection of golf courses which I would like to play on our journey. I've decided to skip Vegas golf-wise and stick to the coast area and one course in Palm Springs. We've still not decided which way we're going to drive (clockwise or counter-clockwise) but it might well be that we're coming from Palm Springs along the coast towards San Francisco after visiting the national parks inland.

The courses I've selected are:
  • Mesquite Country Club, Palm Springs
  • Industry Hills Golf Club (Eisenhower Course), Industry Hills
  • Glen Annie Golf Club, Santa Barbara
  • Morro Bay Golf Course, Morro Bay
  • Pacific Grove Golf Links, Pacific Grove
  • The Course at Wente Vinyards, Livermore
  • Harding Park, San Francisco

I have put all the courses you've suggested in a Google Earth File which you can download here: http://www.retozimmermann.com/zed_pi...olfCourses.kmz (Of course you need Google Earth installed to view the file-content)

All courses we're planning to play are selected while all others are in a backup folder. The place-marks have addresses, links to the course websites and sometimes rates.

I hope that some of you might find this collection useful. Thanks to all of you who have provided this content!

Best regards

Hi All

Very cool. A quick thought. I haven't played he courses in Santa Barbara in a long time but I think you might enjoy Sand Piper more than Glenn Annie. While Glenn Annie has a great view of the coast and town it is A LOT of up and down. Sand Piper is flatter and is the "Pebble Beach" of Santa Barbara.

Please let us know your schedule when you figure it out. I'm about 10 minutes from Wente but have never played there. If you are looking for some company that day I'd be happy to try and get some time off join you.

Hi

Thank you for the additional pointers. I'll happily contact you when I know more. Why don't you drop me your details in a PM. I'd like to play with a local Regards Reto

      Article, Lessons From the Worst Golf Instructor in America

      By iacas ·

      There are plenty of those guys. A guy nearby often has students see him every week or two. The students "get better" during the lesson because the guy says a bunch of things, and they've been hitting a 7I for the past 45 minutes, so they've kinda gotten in a groove. I often tell my students to go away and not come back for six weeks, because that's how long it'll be until they start to see some real progress. (I teach plenty of people every two to three weeks, but they all know they're not going to get something all that new, and that we're kind of in "bumper bowling" mode at that point where I'm just trying to keep them on the lane we've chosen to go down.) The USGTF is a money-making operation. If you're willing to pay them, they'll keep making you a "higher level" instructor. I've known people who can't break 90 who go through it and are "level 3" or something… because they gave them $8k and took two weeks of "training." The PGA… doesn't really teach you a ton about teaching, either. And what they do teach you… let's just say it's not always the best. There are plenty of really, really great instructors… who aren't PGA members. And many bad ones who are. It'd be impossible to actually teach all that you need to know about golf to be a great golf instructor, so that's not as much of a knock on the PGA as you might think it is. Nobody's going to spend six years in the PGA paying $30k/year to ONLY learn about golf instruction. That's what I estimate it would cost to distill and impart and practice the actual "here's how to be a good golf instructor" stuff. Oh boy. I know Brendan a bit. Used to text him. These articles are cringe, and I'd say that to him, too. They feel like clickbait. Yeah… BTW, I may have mentioned this before, but he's a college placement guy. He helps kids find college programs to play golf. He also argued strongly against Natalie going where she is quite happy to be right now. 😉

      Article, Lessons From the Worst Golf Instructor in America

      By billchao ·

      As I read the article, I thought, "This article is garbage. It's poorly written and says nothing. It's as bad as he's claiming the instructor he's criticizing to be." Then I realized it's the same guy that wrote this gem: Lo and behold, it's basically the same thing I said about the last one. This guy just doesn't like golf instruction and he doesn't know shit about swing theory. And possibly physics, even though his bio says he's a scientist. He's completely misunderstanding what the purpose of a tilted arc is. It takes advantage of the anatomy of the human body and it's ability to generate power through rotation. Part of how it "creates" power too is by lengthening the swing arc, which allows more time to transfer energy and speed from your body to the club and ultimately, to the ball. There's a reason long drive guys don't have short swings. There is a reason the one inch punch is so hard to execute and more people get KO'd by a hook than a jab. The entire article, just like the last one I read, reads like the rantings of a guy that just doesn't like golf instruction who's probably never had a good lesson in his life.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By klineka ·

      I've got the watch, since I'm left handed in everything except golf I wear watches on my right hand. From Shot Scope the suggestion was to wear it on my right hand but tell the unit that I'm a left handed golfer so it could try and pick up the tags better. I was already used to tagging when I had Game Golf and manually selecting on my Samsung watch with a prior app, so I just tap the sensor to the watch band before each shot and haven't had a single issue of it double counting or anything so far through 45 holes.
