Wow, have we had a lot of rain this winter and it's not over yet. But when the weather does change in spring Oregon has some great golf. My two regular courses here are Chehalem Glenn a newer course in Newberg and Langdon Farms which will host the local US Open qualifier this year on May 10th. But I think my favorite local course is still The Reserve South Course. A John Fought design, it has over 120 bunkers, lots of water and it's nice and long so you can take the driver out of the bag and let r rip!

For once I'm happy to say I'm in The Sand Trap!

I am a freelance web developer and am always grateful for leads.

Welcome to the forums.

My wife and I moved from Portland, OR to Omaha NE (thanks med school) about a year and a half ago.  Although I don't miss the rain, Oregon has some spectacular tracks.  I loved playing Langdon, The Reserve and Pumpkin Ridge when I was living in the area... hopefully we will find our way back there soon!

In the Bag: TaylorMade R11 TP - TaylorMade R7 TP TS - Cleveland Halo - TM TP 2009 3-PW - Vokey SM 52 - Vokey SM 60 - Rife Barbados CS - ProV1x

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.

      Keep us up to date with your findings, please.  I'm not looking for a putter, but I'm sure you're not alone in your venture to get the putts rolling better.
