I live in Dayton and I don't have very many friends that are into golf as much as I am, so they get tired of me bugging them to go play :(

Its the start of the year and I've already resorted to just going it alone.  I need some people to hit the links with!!  It'll be nice to start atleast a group of people to travel around with on the weekends and play.

Let's get it started.

Canton area resident here.  We have some really nice local public courses - Chippewa (Doylestown), Legends (Massillon), The Sanctuary, The Quarry (HIGH end 'target golf' course).....and some really good, decent 'cheap golf' like Lyon's Den, Tam O' Shanter, Turkeyfoot Lakes and The Elms CC.  Heck, Firestone's public nine is a ten minute ride from my house if you want to say you 'played Firestone' (not the north, south, or west courses - just a nice little nine-hole track they have for the public on the far north end of the property).....hahaha.

If you are in the area, or passing through, drop me a PM and I'd be glad to host a round with you.  I cover a sales territory and pretty much make my own schedule, so I'm usually available with a few days warning.

Bump! I'm in North Canton...

Home course is The Fairways at Arrowhead. It used to be Arrowhead Country Club before it went public 4-5 years ago. I also play alot at The Sanctuary, Seven Hills, The Legends, Tam O'Shanter, and Mayfair CC. The Quarry(#4 public course in Ohio) is about 15 minutes from me. Never played there but I'm organizing an Ohio Outing on GolfWRX next season so I'm really excited to play there and have heard alot of good things.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club

I'd be into a NEOH-oriented outing of TST'ers. Any other takers?

Originally from Cuyahoga Falls. Played the hell out of Sleepy Hollow, Brandywine, Good Park, Windmill Lakes, Valley View growing up. Still get back there every summer. HIGHLY underrated area for good golf. My gosh - Hawk's Nest, Legends of Massillon, Chenoweth, Tam O'Shanter, Mayfair, The Met courses (Manakiki, Sleepy Hollow), Turkeyfoot (great greens), Fox Den, Tannenhauf, Brookledge, Maplecrest, Roses Run...

...to name but a few

      My Swing (carpediem4300)

      Good news. Now you can get the grip out of your palm… 😄

      Nice mate, very nice. I'd say forget about weight until what you're doing stops working and go win some beers from your mates while you're in the zone!

      My Swing (carpediem4300)

      By carpediem4300 ·

      Weight shift is next on the list but I need to groove this new feel and then work it back to a better shot shape. I started with a path +5 degrees out and a clubface -8 degrees. Hook city Ended with a path -0.5 and clubface +5. Straight fade/slice   So now just to dial it back a touch.

      Too much Sharpie on the golf ball?

      Whatever works best for you. Koodos.

      My Swing (carpediem4300)

      By Stryper ·

      Geez I love seeing improvement like that. Well done. As someone whose "natural" swing is out to in 2-3 degrees I have to really stay on my front side (like 80%) to get that back to closer to 0 or even + for a draw. A big backswing also makes the path even worse. On the contrary a really short backswing with heavy front foot creates a hook. And to clarify, I feel that weight through my foot, knee and hip, it's not just leaning to the front side, it's almost like winding the coil in that front leg. That's probably the exact opposite of what the textbooks say? Perhaps because the textbooks are for guys who hit the ball well with an in to out club path struggle taming a hook?? For some reason ANY conscious weight transfer to my back foot exacerbates everything and stops me getting through the ball and I stand up off the ball. When I'm trying to hit a cut I don't consciously hold weight forward (but I make sure I don't transfer back) and it works. I have very bad hips, knees, shoulders from decades of (falling off) motorbikes and (falling off) surfboards so I can only do what I can do       I have found this "weight" approach works better for me than "try to swing in to out" using any method as I then lose impact angle and distance. With say an 8-iron I will lose 20m from my best shot even if it's a +2 path, because I just cannot get everything to work together.   I don't know if any of that helps - I am certainly a trial and error guy and not a coach with any kind of theory to back up my ponderings - but I am learning what works for me by making weight my number one swing thought.
