I am going to be going on an Alaskan Cruise out of Seattle on August 9th. I plan on being in Seattle on Sunday and Monday before the cruise ship leaves.

Anyone have an golf course recommendations? Hopefully its not raining. (I hear it rains a lot out there)

You are only about 45 miles (or so) from Chambers Bay (site of 2015 US Open).  I haven't been, but my wife gave me a gift card for Christmas last year.  Yes, it does rain a fair amount, but the summers are beautiful up there.

Also, I went on that cruise 2 years ago (NCL), the Creektown area in Ketchikan was neat and we did a kayak tour that was fun.  In Skagway we took the train up into Canada, very pretty scenery.  Oh...and if you are worried about rain, Ketchikan is one of the rainiest cities in the world.

Many good options for golf in the area.  You will need to rent a car.

To the South towards Tacoma I can recommend:

Chambers Bay - figure $200

The Home Course - more like $60

Washington National - $100

I'd also recommend taking the ferry to Bremerton and playing either Gold Mountain - Olympic Course ($50) or Trophy Lake in Port Orchard ($90)

I am not as familiar with courses North or East but I have heard good things about Newcastle - Coal Creek

Thanks, guys. I looked at Chambers Bay and a lot of the reviews said that the course is charging so much because the US Open is coming up, but that it was not in the condition of a $200 per round course. I read great things about Gold Mountain Olympic Course. I still have to check with my dad and see if he is willing to play with me. I appreciate the advice.

      Boulder / Denver Colorado Course Recommendations?

      By cedrictheo · Posted

      Wow, @DeadMan that is such a helpful breakdown of what’s around. Really excited to check a bunch of these out. Thank you. Will definitely go to Walnut Creek. Will also try and get a commonground tee time. Haven’t played many Doak courses yet! If your schedule frees up, let me know!

      Yeah. I'm not sure what Vishal is really talking about with the "constrained" COM. The club's COM doesn't really change much. Less than the body's does… We definitely apply force to the golf club to move it both translationally (linear force) and rotationally (torque) to the golf club. That's what Manzella's alpha/beta/gamma is all about. Even before they switched the reference frame from the global to the club-based one. 😉

      Any time you apply a force to an object that is not directly through the COM, you're applying a torque. Take a car for example. If a car is moving and you hit the brakes, the only contact point is on the ground. The brakes make the tires slow down which applies a force backwards at ground level. Since that force is not applied directly to the COM, it also applies a torque, which makes the car rotate forwards. The suspension at the front applies another torque upwards to fight against that twist (because the ground is in the way). You can feel the front end of the car dip when you brake. Then, when you stop braking and that force is no longer applied, the tires stop applying that torque to the car and the car feels like it rocks backwards as the suspension evens itself out. That's all torques being applied. Ignoring the twist forces applied to the club leaves you way short of being able to describe the motion. Otherwise the orientation of the club would never change.

      I think you're getting into the coupling point or the couple of the hands, but that's a different ball of wax.
