Here are a few options:

If you don't mind driving a little, try Bent Tree near the I-71 and 36 interchange.  It has quite a bit of amount of water on it, but it's a fun layout.

If you are looking to finish with the same ball you started with, try Raymond Memorial. It's a (somewhat beat up) Robert Trent Jones layout that is now a muni.  You can still see the design concepts at work, but most of the course is wide, wide open.

If you don't mind spending a little more try Golf Club of Dublin or Riviera (also in Dublin). GCD has a lot of water, but it also has big fairways and huge greens so you shouldn't be washing that many balls.


I'm still waiting on my tee time at Muirfield Village. For some reason, they never call me back. ;-)

I played at The Medallion Club a few years ago. I think it was private, but I remember it being a really nice course.

Don't feel bad @CarlSpackler I live within two miles of Muirfield Village (as the crow flies) and I'm still waiting on my tee time, too.

Medallion is private, btw.

I can get us out there at some point, if I just ask. Maybe this fall.

I keep saying I want to play there and then forgetting to ask or schedule for it.

PLEASE!!!!!

So… you might have to play with a member or something, I don't know.

George will get to go. Plus me of course. And maybe a member.

So some math says… that leaves one or two spots.

That would be awesome! After all, if you are going to get your butt kicked by a golf course, it should be a good one.

Muirfield Village is like heaven on earth. [quote name="georgep" url="/t/53045/dayton/150#post_1005890"]That would be awesome!

Not sure if it's going to be a washout Thursday though. I'm supposed to play in Cincy, so I hope not.

I may have to end up signing up for evolvr rofl, my swing thread doesn't get much feedback. Anyway, I was thinking as rough as my swing has been it may not be worth doing any rounds of golf until I iron out some of my issues.

I would recommend Evolvr too. I've been pleased with it. Having that and a My Swing thread is like chocolate and peanut butter.

Sweet, always nice to have another member of the dayton group. I was thinking Saturday looks like it may be a great day for golf, low wind and mild temperatures. Not sure if anyone is available or not. I'm not completely sure on my plans yet but seems like a good day to see if anything can be set up. An earlier tee time would be great in case I do end up having something going later in the day.

I am busy Saturday, I have my yearly scramble through my work. So I will be hacking it around Community Golf Course early Saturday.

    • I agree.  I once played an inter club match, before the change,  and one of our opponents used a small flat seashell for a marker.  At some point, my partner picks up that shell, thinking it was just a small piece of debris.  An argument ensued, and to be honest I don't remember the result.  But requiring an artificial marker eliminates that kind of misunderstanding.
    • I think it's just to provide clarity. If you marked your ball with a pebble or a small twig, that's a loose impediment, and someone else could move it. An "obstruction" or a man-made thing, or an artificial thing, isn't a loose impediment.
    • Day 243 (2 Jan 25) - Grandson directed drills today - he wanted to hit easy pitches into the holes of the Martin bird house (had it at ground level) - it is doable but it calls for a perfectly executed shot.  He came close a couple of times.  For me it’s about distance control and such.  Drill two - me hit same foam balls to him while he’s in the swing saucer - into a slight wind…now it’s distance control plus anticipating the wind.  A fun exercise - got really close on a number of shots.  Drill three - take his youth Cobra SW and hit flops into to the foam ball basket while he was holding it. Great eye-hand work for him - wedge control for me.  That little wedge  works well.  By the end my junior coach was done and I was too….
    • Going to give this a try for a while and see if it sticks.  Day 1 Today was some full practice: 30 minutes of range work focused on coordinating weight transfer based on Evolvr feedback 10 minutes putting speed control work 10 minutes chipping practice with random targets 5 minutes bump and run work with 7 iron
    • Day 23: 1/2/2025 Had a great range session today. It was downright frigid this morning at the range, but the overhead heater made it tolerable. I started off working on my PPJ swing thought. Some slower, swings, somewhat exaggerating the movements. Then I switched focus and just hit the 6-iron about a half dozen times without thinking. I filmed two of these swings to send to Yoda.  After that, I worked my way up and down the bag (random practice... yay.) Hitting one shot with each club aiming at a specific target. I tried to focus on where and not how. Over all, I was pretty impressed with my results.  If you categorize each shot as either good, bad or good enough. I would say nearly all of them were either in the good or good enough category. Again, yay.  I'm going to do some more mirror work tonight, looking at my videos I think I can still improve what I'm doing. But over all, I was really happy with today's range session. I feel like I've had a giant leap forward in my swing. We shall see if the progress can continue.  Yay.
