Hello from East TN

[DES NUTTZ]

Hello to everyone. I have played golf for about 10 years but I have never taken it seriously and just played a few times a year. I am just now getting serious about it and hope to be shooting in the high 70's low 80's in a few years.

Welcome Des!

Sounds like you have a good goal to work towards. What's in your golf bag?

nice I go to ETSU, what courses do u play?

[DES NUTTZ]

I haven't played any up here around ETSU but I will be this summer. Any recommendations?

[c4m]

Probably the best course for the money in JC is Buffalo Valley, you can walk for $11. Elizabethton is nice too, but its more expensive. Pine Oaks is 11$ too, its not as nice as Buffalo, but it's a relatively easy course so its good for beginners, that's where I usually play.

I saw that Elizabethton was $24 or so for riding but it does not say how much to walk, do you happen to know the walking price, if there is one?

I've played it once, and it was 20 to walk 18, maybe because it was on a friday and weekend rates are higher, I'm not sure about the weekday rates

1995 ETSU alum here and Greeneville resident. I've played all those courses mentioned and that's pretty spot on. Of the 3, Elizabethton is the nicest, but most expensive. I swear it was close to $40 to ride 18 a few years ago. I must have went on a weekend.

Buffaloe is pretty good and the Pine...View or whatever it is, is very convenient to ETSU. Less than a mile from Davis apartments on the corner of the campus. I do miss going to the driving range off South Roane street. Briar Lane or something like that? Great yardage markers, tons of demo clubs, covered turf bays or grass. Awesome!

Yeah, I go there twice a week to hit at their range (Green Briar I think is the name) but did not know they had Demo Clubs so I will have to ask about that next time I visit. It's cool to see other ETSU people on here

Yeah man. I have to honestly say I'm biased toward Mizuno, so just to speak about that brand...they had a rack of ALL the models, the last time I was there. There was all the lengths +/- a few inches and lies +/- a few degrees. I demoed and bought a Ping G5 driver there. I think they asked for me to leave my driver's liscence. Since my wallet was in the car, I think I left my keys instead. Haha.

Also I got fitted there once on the Callaway optifit for a driver. They applied my fitting charge to the cost of the (used no less) G5!
