I work and live during the week in Northern Virginia. Some weekends I commute back to Virginia Beach. I can't wait until Spring to start playing golf again. I'm new to the area, so looking for playing partners in Northern Virginia area.

thank you for friendly welcome. I was trying to find a set of left handed Ben Hogan tour blades and Sand Trap came up it a name I use quite often. Then I was going thru this blog had to join. I don"t belong to any other ones. I play Callaway Hyper x tour Driver, A Callaway 3 and 5 wood a Callaway 21 hybrid and Hogan apex pro 4-9 and 4 hogan forged wedges and an odyssey#1 putter. What I am looking for is a reason to own a new set of Irons perhaps another set of hogan blades or Callaway tour forged or for a real curve ball re grove my irons. Please help Thanks Doubled

I just moved to the Woodbridge area in Aug 09. Like you I can't wait until Spring. I told myself I would just practice on my game & not play a round until mid-March at the earliest. I went to the driving range on Quantico Sat & today. I work a AWS schedule so I am off every other Friday too. Where are you looking to play at?

I too work an AWS schedule and I am off every other Friday. I work at Quantico. Since I plan on playing a lot after work and on my Friday's off, I am leaning towards joing Old Hickory Golf course. They offered me a huge military discount (I am retired Navy) on their membership which includes a full membership at Raspberry falls and privelages at Cannon Ridge. You get to play three of the best courses in the area on one membership.

I have played the Quantico course and I don't care for it at all. They don't keep it in good shape and the layout is not that good in my opinion. You know I also told myself I wouldn't play until mid March, but I went down to Virginia Beach this pas weekend and couldn't resist getting out and playing in 60 degree weather. Keep in touch and we'll hook up and play once March rolls around

Which Friday are you off? I'm off this Friday (Jan 22). I work in Rosslyn so I won't be playing any after work.

I have never played at Quantico but it is the closest driving range to where I live so that is why I go there. Have you ever played at Ft. Belvoir. I have played there a lot. We will have to stay in touch. I play a lot on the Fridays I am off.

      Awesome. We were originally going to play Quail Ridge but ended up moving some things around and are going to do the following when we go in May Day 1 Tobacco Road Day 2 Southern Pines and Pine Needles Day 3 Tot Hill Farm There are a couple good course vlog/matches on YouTube at Southern Pines, it looks awesome.

      I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized.

      32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.
