This sight always reminds me that work is over and it's time to blow off steam and relax with friends or simply enjoy some quiet time navigating the course on my own.

I usually have some good tunes pumping as I make this turn into what I think of as "The Gates of Freedom".....my home course. It's not uncommon to see a deer crossing just beyond the gate....they are stacked up in the woods surrounding the course...lots of hardwood drains and pine thickets.

This is the 4th course that I've been a member off and I plan on staying here a while. 27 vastly different holes make for an interesting and fresh routing on each golf outing. The course is usually in superb shape...especially the difficult greens (only it's wintered up now...can't be helped...grasses going dormant). You have a very diverse group of members in every sense of the word that makes is fun to just show up and get paired with someone. The staff goes out of their way to assist you and are extremely friendly.

If you find yourself in the Augusta, Georgia area...then try to play Gordon Lakes GC.

Hey, Dub,

My mother lives in Aiken, SC, just down the road. She's lived there about 10 years and I've not yet gotten to play golf in the area (although we did drive by Augusta National a few years ago). I was supposed to play a private club called The Palmetto Club a couple years back but got rained out. What courses in the area do you recommend (public and not too expensive)? I'm usually down there sometime around the beginning of October (hurricane season, apparently).

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 51 (yesterday was 50, not 59 -- that was a typo).  I didn't have a ton of time today.  I hit a dozen balls with a 6-iron in my practice room.   Amazingly, after this I did the ShotScope analysis of yesterday's round;  my approach play was at the 5 hcp level.  That's pretty darn good, but unfortunately for my score, some of that came from hitting a few good recovery shots.  But I also hit some really good approach shots that weren't from trouble!

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By JetFan1983 · Posted

      Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.
