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.

      18-Hole Approach Shot Game

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I tried this again today. Again, I used the random picker app on my phone and I set the targets into my SC4. I used carry distance not total distance.  I did everything the same except today I decided to print out my actual shot distances for you.  Target Club Actual Difference Score Score vs Par 90 GW 101.4 11.4 Double 2 95 GW 93.9 -1.1 Birdie -1 100 GW 102.4 2.4 Birdie -1 105 GW 100.6 -4.4 Par 0 110 GW 108.2 -1.8 Birdie -1 115 PW 128.3 13.3 Double 2 120 PW 117.8 -2.2 Birdie -1 125 PW 125 0 Eagle -2 130 PW 130.9 0.9 Eagle -2 135 9I 126.7 -8.3 Bogey 1 140 9I 139.2 -0.8 Eagle -2 145 8I 125 -20 Double 2 150 8I 138 -12 Double 2 155 7I 156.7 1.7 Birdie -1 160 7I 172.1 12.1 Double 2 165 6I 168.3 3.3 Par 0 170 6I 177.6 7.6 Bogey 1 175 6I 169.7 -5.3 Par 0 Average miss     -0.18 yards     Av of Absolute     6.03 yards                       Total is one over par.   1 I did much better today in terms of hitting some close enough to make some eagles. The eagles really help your score.  The average miss is just the difference between target and actual carry distance, which I guess could be used to see if I'm more likely longer or shorter. Looks like I'm about equally off long and short. The average of the absolute valve of my misses kind of tells me how close to the target I usually am.

      Rule Change on Incorrect Scorecard.

      If the PGA Tour wants to distance itself from the integrity of the Official Rules of Golf, then fine.

      Amazing US Open to watch. Of course I was rooting for Bryson, but a little part of me wanted a W for Rory. Hope this fuel Rory to win a major soon.  Interesting to see how much is going to take for Aberg to win his first major.  Scheffler is human, thank god.. we need more tight final rounds like this.

      This discussion and Bryson’s media figure reminds me of a trend you see all over the place in social media and Internet in general: staging. I don’t use Instagram a whole lot, but enough to come across videos that are obviously staged, but presented as happening randomly. It falls in like with the “fake news” part of the world where you can’t trust anything. People (influencers, celebrities, politicians etc.) throws stuff out all the time that are straight up lies, pretending ignorance, or twisted to make it sound more interesting than it actually is. Then there’s the overreactions. Youtube and Instagram are filled with thumbnails of shocked content creators “LOOK WHAT HAPPENED 🫣😲🫣”, then it’s some staged or stupid shit. I miss the time when most of what you found online was not staged or stupid. The sad part is that it works, generate clicks, ad revenue and people make millions on that stuff. At least Bryson is primarily a professional golfer. Bryson raking the 18th bunker while holding the trophy puts more of his face in the media. There’s no reason to do it, but it makes for some good photos and he’s building his persona. From the entire week you can see how he interacts with the audience way more than most of them out there. Part of it is probably just being Bryson and giving the audience something extra, but I always have the thought in the back of the head that it’s not the entire reason. Players being emotional, engaging and showing more of themselves than hitting a golf ball is good, but at some point you cross the line into being fake for the sake of attention.
