Greetings from the Garden State. Excited to be a new member here. I have a feeling that I'll visit this site quite frequently (perhaps more times than necessary....)

Thanks. I'm in Hudson County - and looking for a nearby course. I am beginning to think that Bergen County courses are my best bet.

there is not much in Bergen County... either very expensive private courses (like Ridgewood CC) or dog-track county courses.

I've membership at Skyview GC in Sparta. it's 45min drive, but the price is right Other than that - the Great Gorge Resort has 5 nice courses to choose from... pricey, but it's good to do something else once in a while. Other than that - Bowling Green in Milton is really nice, sometimes I play the Morris County courses, that are decent.

As you can see in my profile, I'm a beginner. I really began last year and went to golf camp last summer. Only played a handful of courses. Needless to say, I am itching to improve, so I'm looking for a reasonably close courses.

Is that the Great Gorge courses in NJ

?? Where the Playboy Club Hotel and Ski Resort used to be??? The reason I ask is I attended a sales meeting there way back in the mid-70's when the Playboy Hotel was still there. They had a golf course and I actually played it as part of a group. I had never picked up a club in my life and it was 35 years before I picked up another. Must have been a traumatic experience that I have blocked out... lol

Great Gorge resort started with Black Bear, Crystal Springs and Ballyowen. After few years they built Wild Turkey and just last year they purchased the Great Gorge courses you're referring to ( 27 holes ). They sure look to monopolize the area, I know for the fact that they bid several times for my home course too. It's kind of cool, for a 8K membership you get to play all these courses... 8K is just a bit out my reach though

How strange that this should come full circle. My only time to play golf before I took it up seriously and it comes up on a golf forum over 30 years later.....

      I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.

      So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.

      Yeah I have taken lessons. I also got clubs fitted in like 2011 ish. My driver and wedges aren't from that set though.    1. I'm just not sure why I can't seem to get the face back to square. I don't have that problem with my other clubs. Sure the longer ones a miss tends to be a slice, but I don't need to make a grip change to only sometimes hit the ball reasonably straight.   2. I think there is a bit of inaccuracy there. The number I have in my head is like 195 for my 5 iron. 4 iron also definitely has more variance than all my other irons, but 210ish is about right for non mishits.

      For multiple reasons, including "why should anyone else care to continue to search for someone else's ball?" No thanks.
