Hi was going to be making a trip down to Frederick Maryland and was wondering what course you guys recommend?  I know of at least 4 courses I've heard are very nice there.  Maryland National, PB Dye, Musket Ridge and Whiskey Creek.  Has anyone played those?  If so what one do you recommend?

PB Dye and Whisky Creek are both awesome courses so either one of them would be a good choice.

I live in Maryland.  I love Musket Ridge.  I think it is one of the top courses in the state.  Worthington Manor is a course that holds a lot of US open qualifiers.  It is another course I like.  Maryland National is a step below them but is a good course.  It has one hole that they kind of wedged in, but it is always in good shape.  I don't care for the PB Dye course.  Its a tricked up course.  Lots of railroad ties and blind shots.  It is hit or miss for conditions.  I really don't like Whiskey Creek.  The layout is long.  I hit a bunch of Driver, 3 wood or Driver, 2 iron.  The conditions are never great and are better in the spring then in summer or fall.  There is always a green that is burnt up or has a dirt patch.  Good luck.  If you like BBQ try Black Hog downtown.

Musket Ridge has nice conditions but the course is by far the easiest of all of them.

Thanks for the input.  And I love BBQ so I'll defiantly check that place out.  I doubt it is but would that place happen to use a vinegar base sauce?  Most places up here don't.  I used to live in Wilmington NC and theres a place down there that uses a vinegar sauce and is the best I've ever had.  Regardless I'll check it out.

My choice around Frederick would be Little Bennett GC.  It is a municipal course but course layout and maintenance is superb. You may find better condition on Whiskey or Worthington but if you like strategic courses, check it out. You won't be disappointed.

I second everything he said about Little Bennett.  Though I haven't played the others.

CBS Local Offers (groupon-type thing) just had a $36 special for PB Dye. Finally going to play it this year! Going to try and make a day of it and maybe play 36 (Whiskey Creek / PB Dye).

About 2 years ago there was always coupons for PB Dye in the paper in fact I don't think I ever paid over $50 to play it. I haven't looked recently to see if they are still putting them in the paper but it would be worth keeping a eye on.

Hollow Creek is not a long course, but has undulating greens.  I have played a few times there and each time the course is in great shape.

I did not like Whiskey Creek as I was expecting a lot more, and the course conditions were not up to "par" for the price and hoopla about it.

Worthington has a great layout and will test your game and all the times I have played the course was in great shape.

PB Dye has too many blind shots for my tastes, and the greens were very beat up last time I was there.  Many closely mowed areas around the greens makes you pay if you do not hit and stay on the greens.

      I doubt Bryson cares about promoting LIV. Airing grievances with the PGAT on social media is more of a Greg Norman and Phil thing. Does he even really mention his team or whatever on his videos? I haven’t watched many of them but I don’t recall seeing that. He’s promoting his own brand (himself) with his social media.

      Yeah but then he effed it all up by going to LIV. If he didn't, I would be celebrating right now. But he chose to drink sheik juice.

      A little refresher. here is an article about Bryson at the 2021 Ryder Cup. He was the "entertainer" then. "Wherever he went the crowd welcomed him like a Packer walking into an Oshkosh bar, and DeChambeau responded with nods and thumbs-up and cap-tips and shouts of “Let’s go!” On the sixth, when the crowd began to boo when he grabbed his 3-wood, Bryson loudly proclaimed, “Guys, I’m still going for the green, calm down,” which dialed the cheers back to 10. Spectacle recognizes spectacle, after all. On this afternoon, one would have had a hell of a time explaining to an outsider that he was the most divisive guy in golf."   Ryder Cup 2021: How Bryson DeChambeau won the week, and found redemption, after summer from hell | Golf News and Tour Information | Golf Digest No American had more questions entering the Ryder Cup than DeChambeau. By Sunday evening, he answered them all and looked, at long last, like he was enjoying golf again.

      Launch Angle With Driver

      By StKildaSenators ·

      So I have been hitting my driver a lot better this year. Massive slice is gone (unless I try and kill the ball, which I avoid doing now), and a bad drive is now more of a big fade. However my launch angle is pretty low. I went to a range with TopTracer today, and when I was using my driver I was probably averaging about 5 or 6 degrees launch angle. Unfortunately the only stat I can see on the app is that for the long drive game I averaged 251 yards, so I don't have any other numbers.    What are some of the likely causes of having such a low launch angle? I am thinking I am either hitting down on the ball, or the ball is too far forward in my stance and I am catching it a little thin (while I don't feel like I hit consistently thin, a thin miss is definitely more common than a pop-up miss.    I play the ball off my front foot big toe. Is that not a good spot? Could I be standing too close to the ball? It isn't uncommon for me to hit one a little bit with the heel, but I basically never feel I hit one of the toe.
