La Tourette and Silver Lakes in Staten Island? Bit of a commute, but doable.

Added: I know you mentioned public transportation, but check out zipcar.com. It might be an option.

Van Cortland is at the end of the #1 train in the Bronx. It's a 5 minute walk into the park to the course.

Mosholu is a shorter 9 hole course with a good (for a muni) putting and chipping green. Take the #4 train to the end of the line in the Bronx.

Dyker Beach (Brooklyn)
R Train to 86th St. Then take the B64 Bus.

I forget which Staten Island courses are closer to the ferry, but they are pretty nice, IMHO.

You could also take the LIRR to Bethpage and take a local cab or walk.

Pretty much every muni around here takes longer to play than almost anywhere else.
Rounds that take 5-6 hours is unfortunately, quite normal.

Always good to see fellow NYers on the forum!

I play Vanny and Mosholu the most and those are probably the easiest to get to by public transportation. Only problem is - you live on the LES. I would check out the courses in Queens like Clearview or Brooklyn like Dyker beach.

A short trip on the LIRR and a short cab ride from the station would take you to my home course, it's public and plenty challenging:

Book ahead though, it's very popular.

I used to work right by Harbor Links and the rates were on the steeper side.

While browsing their web just now, I found that there is a Nike demo day where KJ Choi will be in appearance. Think I might stop by for that.

Its a par 3 course in queens. All you really need is a wedge and a putter but its open at night with lighting!

Which courses? The thing about Jersey is some courses charge more for non-residents. I know it depends on the county.

The par 3 course in Flushing - it's convenient, but you're hitting off mats and it's not in the greatest shape, but still, it's golf nearby. There's a par 3 with lighting called Heartland or something way out in Long Island. Have never been there, not sure if it's still in business. I think there's also one in Jones Beach. I like Harbour Links, but one major annoyance for me is you have to take a cart. Green fee is very expensive as well.

There's a par 3 course in Rockaway Beach area. The longest hole is about 150 yards. The one in Flushing Meadow, you do hit off mats and they get mad at you if you don't. The longest hole at Flushing Meadow is 80 yards.

I like the par 3 in Flushing Meadows.

In spite of the mats, you could always duff your tee shot a couple of yards into the grass, and take your second shot from the grass just a few yards closer to the green.

They're open really late, and the greens are very undulated.

And if you're feeling thirsty, the beer cart sells tall boy cans of beer and typically will pass you at least three times in a round.

And for the New York experience, I've smelled urine on that par 3 - some people obviously don't respect the place. Nowhere close to finding a dead body though (VC?).

I wound up going to that -- did you make it there?

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
    • WUTiger
      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
