anyone familiar with this course?  I am playing in a tournament there this weekend and might not get a practice round.  I am a pretty long hitter.  Any words of advice??

Hole #1...straight away...let it rip off the tee.

#2...Hit a hybrid or 3 wood at the MOST off the tee!

#3...Stay center or right side of green...there is NO margin for error on left side.

#4...straight away...let it rip off the tee. ..but aim for right center...anything left side of fairway and you will be coming in over HUGE traps.

#5...straight away...let it rip off the tee. ..REALLY long par 4!

#6...straight away...let it rip off the tee. ...just remember the trap in front of the green is about 20 yards in front of the green NOT along side it!

#7...short par 3

#8...short par 4...best advice is hitting 3 wood off tee...going for it usually ends up in one of the many little pot bunkers...hit your 3 wood and have a wedge in for birdie!

#9...straight away...let it rip off the tee. ..par 5...there is a small tree near the gree on the right side of fairway...make SUE your approach or lay-up is on LEFT side of fairway or that tree WILL block you...someday I'm gonna CUT that sucker down!!!

My friends dad used to be (maybe still is) part owner of that course - has offices above the cart-barn. I'm jealous you get to play there - it has been a while since I've been in the area - the back 9 is my favorite. Don't remember specific holes right now, but we used to try and happy-gillmore from the 18th tee to the 10th green across the water with the owner. That course is beautiful. Have fun.

#10...Hit 3 wood off tee...driver just isn't needed and will leave u a 8 or 9 iron in.

#11...Aim for the middle, take a par and leave happy...pin-hunters will pay dearly if they miss the green anywhere!

#12...Par 5...let it rip...BUT...keep your drive left-center of fairway and your second shot as well and it is better.

#13...let it rip...but left center is best.

#14...short par 4...3 wood is best...fairway narrows at end...too narrow for a long-hitter with a driver.

#15...short par 3...wide green but NOT deep...if they have the pin directly behind the trap hit to left or right and take your par.

#16...Par 5…ha ha…go for it in 2 ??? Hit driver straight down right side of fairway, hit a short iron in the belly of the fairway protected by trees left & right SHORT of the creek and you have a 9 or wedge in. IF you want to go for it in 2, hit a drive NO MORE that 270 LEFT  of the tree in the center of fairway and you’ll have about 210 into the green, BUT if you’re a little long on the drive your DEAD…if your second shot is a little left…you are DEAD…best advice, don’t be tempted, play the first option and it is a realistic birdie hole!

#17…Pretty par 3 but nothing special.

#18…Probably the prettiest finishing hole you will ever see…and tough!!! Hit your drive center of fairway with a fade…FADE IT RIGHT……FADE IT RIGHT……FADE IT RIGHT…NOT a SLICE…just a slight FADE…and your second shot is straight in. Oh…did I mention to FADE your drive, Not SLICE it???

Let me know how it goes!!!!

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
