actually, Flushing.

I've been playing, like seriously playing, a year now. I play a bogey game. I've been hooked to the game and try to play or practice whenever I can. I usually play the Long Island courses.

If anyone ever wants to play or is looking for a serious practice partner, let me know. I would like to meet someone that is as serious about improving their games as I am.

One of my friends lived in NYC a couple years ago. He loves golf but hated golfing in NY because of difficulty of finding golf courses with available tee times and the horribly slow play. He said it once took over 6 hours to play 18 at one of the city courses (I think he said it was something like 'Cortland' or whatever.)

all the NYC muni courses are overpacked, not well kept due to massive foot traffic and ppl not taking care of the courses, expensive and LONG LONG rounds. I usually only go to those for twilight rounds just to practice. The courses in long island are VERY nice however.

Why pay $41 for a 18 holes on a poorly kept muni when I can drive an hour out and play for the same price and a much better kept course?

I'm pretty much in the same boat, I am from Flushing and started a little over a year ago. Just had my first range session at Douglaston for the season. I took a 5 month break so I need to get back into the groove of things. I usually play Douglaston or Bethpage and once in awhile some of the other muni's. Let me know if you want to hit up the range or play a round.

Oh yeah and welcome.

yeah...i'm at the practice range in Douglaston a few times a week. Let's head out there together sometime...or if u ever see me there, say what's up. I'm probably the only guy there with a red titleist bag.

I lived in NJ for a while. I even renewed my Bergen County card this year. I'm game for a round pretty much any time. We should make a golf outing for all the members on here that live in the area sometime over the summer...

I haven't played in Bergen yet but I have a friend that plays out there. I might be game for a round if Matt goes and if I can borrow my friends card.

I'll be moving up to Brooklyn in August from DC and am scared I won't be able to play as much golf. Has anyone played Dyker Beach?

Playing in Long Island and NJ seems like it might be a good idea, and I also have a lot of friends in Westchester but it could take a while to get up there from Brooklyn.

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By klineka · Posted

      Awesome.

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.

      Keep us up to date with your findings, please.  I'm not looking for a putter, but I'm sure you're not alone in your venture to get the putts rolling better.
