Hello folks, looking forward to hanging out on the forum and trying to learn more about this great game. From Rhode Island, I started playing golf 3 years ago when a medical condition forced me to give up soccer and long-distance running. I'm thankful that I have found a fun and challenging way to keep exercising. The last 2 years I put my clubs away for the winter; but this year I'm really going to try to work on my game at the indoor dome here in Warwick, RI. And I'll probably be on the forum alot too with winter golf withdrawal setting in!

Have a look at bagsgolf.com I played with them when i lived in boston a few years back. They have a RI League and think they do a florida trip in December if you are looking for some competitive golf over the winter.

Thanks, good to hear from a fellow Rhody. We've actually had some decent weather this month, but it's only a matter of time.

Thanks I will check that out.

C'mon man, don't jinx us. It's gonna be almost 60 here tomorrow. I'm hoping to get out there while the getting is good.

Another place down your way to check out if you want to play some outdoor winter golf is Triggs Memorial in Providence. I played it last winter and it held up pretty well. http://www.triggs.us/

Three lousy shots and one brilliant shot can still make par...

I actually live less than 5 miles from Triggs! Great course, right? It was tough to play during the summer because they had so many tournaments/events booked. But I played there last week, and will try to get out a few more times if possible. I'll try to be more optimistic about the weather, too!

Yeah, I had a great time when I played it. My only complaint was with the crowd control. I played it the first nice weekend in April, so it was obviously packed, but there were a lot of twosomes that could have been made into foursomes just to speed the rounds up.

Now, since you're in the general area I would also recommend you check out Chemawa Golf Course in North Attleboro next spring. It's my absolute favorite course in southern Massachusetts. Not very long (only one par 5 and it plays more like a par 4), but probably the best maintained place around considering what you pay to play.

Yeah, I have run into that same problem at Triggs where they send out twosomes, singles, etc. and just have a real traffic jam. Love that course on a weekday afternoon or evening, but I don't think I'll ever play there again on a weekend during peak season. Last time I did it took 5+ hours and I can't handle that.

Chemawa I played a couple years ago and I've been meaning to go back. Definitely short, but it was in real nice shape.

      Day 84 - 2024-12-23 I hit balls for 20 minutes after lessons and after getting down a BodiTrak for resale. Hinge. Path was weirdly consistent today at 1.6° or so ± like 0.8° only.

      Day 13: 12/23/2024 A lot more mirror work today. Using my same swing thought. Some slow motion, some full motion, some in between. Today I made sure I took every swing all the way to the finish.

      Day 234 (23 Dec 24) - Mystery Monday - what to do today….pretty straight up as I spent time with the 58 and a series of pitches (lower flighted all the way up to high fliers over the tulip tree).  Wrapped up the day going lower ball with the 9i and easy bump and runs.  Again as always the setup was key - case in point, got lazy and casually set up, feet straight and promptly hit a couple of nice heely shots hard right.  Knew it immediately, as next couple I went through the routine and flew the balls promptly too the target point.  Setup - setup - setup…
