I like Crockett Ridge and Cattails, Tri-Cities is ok and haven't ever played Warriors. I am a member out at the Country Club of Bristol thats where I do most of my playing.

    • Down the line.
    • As seen from a FO perspective, yes?
    • My home course has some confounding greens, so much so, I bought a green reading book to make note of these subtle differences. But I just played an away match and here is what I did to read the greens.  1. Observe the putting structure as you approach. This allows you to see the overall green with perspective against a horizon, land features, etc.  You can do that imagine where the water runs off if that helps you visualize. As you get closer look at the pin and then around the pin to see if there is any obvious elevation changes. You should be able to see any obvious mounds and humps without taking any time away from the game.  2. Use your feet. You can do this as you approach the green, pull the pins, put down your wedges if you were chipping, wiping you ball, and waiting your turn to play (as opposed to starting a process when its your turn to play which is really too late for everyone's sake).  3. Pay attention to others chipping and putting and try to determine the low point from the ball movement. You need to be engaged and learn from others. Remember that uphill putts break less, downhill putts break more.  4. Read putts from the low side. If the putt is R to L stand read from the left side (low side) and look at the slope for which side is higher. Many times I will look at playing partners to see whose feet appear higher. Again, it gives you perspective.  I avoid looking from the high side and only look from the low side because the optics are better looking up then looking at something running away from you. If you can figure out the low side, you can figure out downhills.  5. Work on 3 footers and 6 footers along with speed control. Making these little ones takes the pressure of trying to be perfect.     
    • I too came up two short, on 10 and 17. I didn't play either hole "well" all year, though I had chances on 17. I had a few on 10, too, but it's a tough hole.
    • Though I still like the Snell, the COVID era MTB Prime put me off them for a bit… I played the Left Dash last year when I could play.
