Originally from South Jersey myself :)

Welcome to the board and like the pic from Young Frankenstein. I looked for that the other day but all I could find was Blazing Saddles, which also works.

Millville, in Cumberland County. I still get up there to play golf once in a while. In fact, since I took up golf last summer I have played more in NJ than I have in Virginia. I'll be in the AC area this or next weekend to hopefully play McCullough's Emerald or Seaview Resort (where the LPGA plays the ShopRite Classic).

Nice! So far I've only played 5 times and the first time I didnt keep score

I've only played on publc and county courses in northern NJ except for the first two which were in MA and they were pretty nice.

Try to squeeze in Twisted Dunes while you there - IMHO much better than anything else down there (since Pine Hill went all private

)

I did a charity thing at Twisted Dunes last year (Captain's choice I think, or best ball. Can't remember the difference between the two) and had a great time. The course was in great shape and the brutal wind made it feel like a links course.

We usually go to McCullough's for the casino and/or ezlinks.com rates. Seaview looks nice on paper, and I thought that since the LPGA played there it would be nice. But maybe I will see if I can get my playing partner to find out if his high school buddy is still one of the Pros at Twisted Dunes so we can save a few bucks.

Any relatively inexpensive places in that area? I have been to Hamilton Trails, a so-so 9 hole course and Green Tree which is basically a dump, or at least it was when we went there last year which was after a big rain.

can't say anything about deals in the area - I live in north NJ, so when I'm driving 2+ hours I'm looking for a quality, not value Seaview is sweet, but if you think winds were tough at Dunes - ask Erik (our Editor in Chief) how did it feel to hit a 4i from 140yds and come up short (Seaview earlier this year)

It was a 5-iron, Rafi! From 130.

Normally 190, that day, into that wind on that exposed hole: 115 or so.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
