Damn that's cheap.

Yukari, is that Fossil Trace? It's a fun course, I play there once or twice a year (Jeffco resident too), but I'm not sure I'd want to play it all the time. Jim Hajek, the head pro, is an old friend. He used to be the head pro at Foothills... gave lessons to my Mom many years ago.

My home course is Foothills GC, and it's $39 for a non-resident to walk on Fri-Sat Sun; and it's $14 additional for a cart for 18 holes. There are numerous discounts... junior, senior, weekday, player's card, early and late twilight. I pay $20 with cart on weekend and I'm an employee. The course is a recreation district managed layout (sort of like a muni, but not quite), that was opened in 1972. It's a parkland style course which was built on the cheap, but has been remodeled and matured into a very nice course that is fun to play. There is cheaper golf to be found in the Denver area, but like most things... you get what you pay for.

For the public course I play most often:

Weekend

$18 - 9 Holes Walking
$28 - 9 Holes Riding
$25 - 18 Holes Walking
$40 - 18 Holes Riding

That's pretty much the average for most public courses in this area of Wisconsin. Weekdays are a little cheaper for 9 hole play ($15/$25), and since I play there often, they typically let me play as much as I want for $25 p/day.

    • Day 85 - 2026-03-17 30 minutes of putting work, 15 chipping. Getting reacquainted with the Scottsdale green and greenside terrain. Really freaking hot here.
    • Day 9 (17 Mar 26) - Worked with alignment today to work on getting properly lined up with target point using alignment rods.  Worked on getting takeaway parallel to alignment line.  Solid session. 
    • Day 212 3-17 Flow work and arching. Hit some foam balls. Recorded 
    • Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod  
    • This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod
