Anybody up for a round this Saturday?

30 year old guy looking to meet some new golfers. I am around a 10 handicap & trying to get better. Happy to play with any ability golfers. I would consider myself a competitive golfer that is trying hard to improve. I don't throw fits/clubs if I miss a shot.

I am willing to play anywhere in the metro that is in the $60 or less range. I do have the MN Golf card. So if that worked out we could get 1/2 off depending on where we play. http://www.minnesotagolfcard.com/googlemap.php

Courses I have played recently: Braemar, Hiawatha, Stonebrooke, etc.

good times,
Reid

I'm about 4-5 hours north of you... Moved out of the Cities four years ago. I see you've played Hiawatha- have you played Theodore Wirth? I'm curious if it is still in decent shape. The last time I played it was about ten years ago. It wasn't in great shape then, but I know the Minneapolis Park Board put some money into resurrecting their courses. I grew up playing Wirth and I love it, but I'm a much better golfer today than I was then, so I wonder if it holds the same challenge.
Good Luck!

Sounds like a plan. I get out every weekend so another time should work fine. I don't think I have made it to Willingers so that might be fun.

I am busy this upcoming weekend (playing in a scramble) but free the next. We can chat closer to then if you are free.

Dan - Not sure about Theodore Wirth. I haven't played it in a few years.

I grew up on the range though so I know most of the courses up there.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.

      Day 565 - 2026-04-19 Wanted to get home to do some spring cleaning type stuff, so I practiced for about seven or eight minutes and got my butt home. Just backswing stuff, mostly, with freezers and a little downswing feel. Liking the new big mirror I have.

      Day 22: played 18. Shot okay - 80 - but long game was bad. Saved by some good putting and short game.
