Hello all, I just found this place and am enjoying browsing the site. I have played golf on and off with my dad over the years but am now really getting into it because I love spending time with my dad and wanted some way to stay involved with competitive sports. Looking forward to reading some interesting stuff from everyone here, thanks.

Hello Chris, I'm a newbie too. I'm in Sacramento. Just a rocks throw away!

Yep not far at all. What are some of your favorite courses in this area? I haven't played many around Sac.

I'm a little farther north, in Red Bluff. Haggin Oaks(Alister MacKenzie) is a great course in sac that I just played. If you ever want to take a short day trip up I-5 Sevillano Links, my home course, is an amazing place to play.

Yes Haggin is a good one, that's actually my home course. My favorite course in Sacramento right now and has been for a while is Wild Hawk on Gerber Road. I've shot some of my lowest scores there. Wide open, a couple of the par 4's are reachable for the longer hitters. It's nice overall, and not too expensive.

I just played a place called The Ridge, it's in Auburn, and that was really a nice course. Little thin on a couple of the fairways, but a very nice course overall. Darkhorse is another one I like as well. I like the courses that are quiet, tucked away, I like the courses in the hills. Makes for a nice day.

I'll have to try a few of these out. I agree courses that are ourt of the way and in quiet places are my favorite as well. I can't stand playing a course that's near a freeway. I love playing Diablo Grande down in Patterson, it's secluded and you never have to see a house if you play the Legends course.

      Pitching

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree.

      Depends on my lie and the green I am working with. If I want to fly and stop, my 58* If I am looking for it to run a bit, my 54* And on occasion if the lie and green call for it, punch and run with my 7i

      RTJ Trail Itinerary (5 Days From ATL) — Thoughts?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I did the RTJ trail, we just did Grand National and Capitol Hill. We were trying to minimize travel time. It gave us 5 courses to play. You pare playing 3 of the 5 we played.  If I had to pick, I would play the Lakes over the Links at Grand National. Links felt too penal on approach shots. If you can't get height or spin, it felt like every ball that hit the center of the green ran off the back. A lot of the greens require force carry, no running it up. It just wasn't that fun to play.   Judge - Really good course, some really cool holes and terrain.   Senator - Really fun open course. They call it link style, I can't remember how much you can play the ball down, but it has the aesthetic appeal.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I do that at the range; I just have been going through a half-assed pre-shot routine. 😇 I just kind of waltz up to the ball and hit it. I catch myself just going through the motions of aiming. Once I started aligning my club to an intermediate target, I felt like I was aligned way open to the target but just trusted it. Like, if the club was aimed at the flag in the middle of the green, then my body was aligned left of the green or more (assuming something like a 100+ yard shot). I think I was more concerned with where my feet were lined up and not the clubface.  A question on alignment then.  So, the ball is like what, 3-FT away from the toe target line. So, does that mean if my toe line is aimed at the flag, the club is aimed 3-ft right? Does the perception of the green looking smaller in the distance impact that in terms of how we hit the shot? I feel like the geometry should work that the ball is actually aimed 3-FT right.
