Hello to all!!!!!! New member here from SE Texas!!! Looking forward to chatting with everyone on here about everyting from Tiger to Wie!!!

Welcome! We hope you enjoy it here. If you need anything, let us know.

How is SE Texas? I lived in Vidor for a year or so back in 1996. I still have a lot of family from that area, although I don't usually care to claim them.

I actually started picking up the game when I lived down there. Are there any good golf courses around Beaumont?

Beaumont CC is really the only nice golf course and it is great!!! The course was closed for about 8 months in 2004-2005 for reconstruction. The entire course was redesigned and boy is it incredible!!!! Other than BCC the only other decent golf course is The Palms at Pleasure island in Port Arthur. This course has been around for a long time and reopened about 3 years ago. I used to live in Grove, Oklahoma and played at Shangri La a bunch when I was younger!!! Great golf in Oklahoma!!!!!

Welcome fellow Texan!! I have played a few courses in the Houston area, never as far as Beaumont. Come on out west for some Hill Country golf.

I go to the frio river in concan every year and hear that they are building a new golf course out there....what do you know about it???

here is the web site. I fly over this area all the time. There is a low level route that goes right over the new course. I saw it the other day and it looks like its going to be beautiful. Homesites are very pricey though. River Crossing is a better deal IMHO.

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%!
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
