I'm a youth pastor and working on my Master's Degree, all while trying to break 80

I moved up here from the Annapolis area of Maryland a couple of years ago, and I'm still trying to find that gem of a course that I could play every week here in Bucks County. If anyone has any ideas...please let me know!

What's in the Bag?

Good luck in your pursuit of breaking 80 !

I come out that way to visit a few times a yr. I started a thread that got derailed last yr as I was looking for something new to play. I haven't played that many, just a few in Delaware county. My personal favorite was one in Marple Township. Paxon Hollow. I'll keep an eye on the thread as I expect to be out this summer. http://thesandtrap.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13554

I live in Center City but its nice to see some locals! I drive to NJ every weekend but I grew up there and most of my regular group lives there as well.

If you find a great (and cheap ) course out that way make sure and share in the thread!

I just started playing again late last summer. I've been hitting the driving range on 611 across from the Willow Grove Naval Air base.

I sometimes go to the par 3 course at Woods Golf Center in Norristown (yes, 45 min drive) with my son. http://www.woodysgolfcenter.com/ I have not been out yet this year but I've been to the Center Square Golf Club: http://www.centersquaregolfclub.com/

I was an avid golfer from 1983 to 1993 and played Willow Brook in Moorestown almost every week during that period.

    • 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. 
    • 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. 
    • 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.
