I was (failing at) attempting to tease Shane, in the way that people might break out the good scotch after their weird uncle leaves…

Don't worry. They tear up another section soon.

Yep. Homestead isn't real long, but some of those greens are a bit wild. As I remember, they are also on the faster side compared to ole home sweet home Kittyhawk.

I usually walk Homestead. The greens are pretty sweet there IMO. Not too many munis take such good care of the course.

No question Carl. By wild, I mean just the undulation that some of them have. Again, I'm pretty used to City of Dayton single slopers.

I've been massively impressed with the conditioning those guys do.

Yep. Have played the COD courses a lot. Had a membership there for several years and live just a few miles from KHawk. When they, KHawk, hired a good greenskeeper about 5 years ago, the greens really improved. I hate the bunkers though. Just plain horrid. They started redoing them, but stopped for some reason. Like we always say, KHawk greens break half as much as you think.

With aimpoint they break just as much as you think ;-)

Yea, the COD greens are pretty much simple greens. I think Community are tougher because some of them are more elevated and domed a bit. So they got some slight breaks that can get ya, especially in some of the back pin placements.

If they don't break the amount you thought is it because you didn't give them the finger long enough before putting?? :-D

Years ago, Kittyhawk's greens were like trampolines. You couldn't get anything to hold on those stinkin things. This guy started aerating and watering and they are much better now. There is still a lot of clover and such on the fairways, but since the course is on top of the aquifer where our drinking water comes from...

I think there needs to be an Aimpoint shirt with someone doing the finger thing and a caption Read This. ;-)

That would be awesome!

Hole 6 on the Hawk is still a trampoline. I've had wedges hit in the center that have bounced over the green. Not a big fan of that par 5!

Hmmm. I'm usually playing from the left bunker on that one.

Hole 6 is the big ole right dogleg isn't it. Left bunker or behind the left bunker for me, but I do seem to recall a rare shot finding the green and bouncing like a superball.

The green I remember most clearly from Homestead is no. 9. You hit the approach shot over the water hazard. The last time I was on the fringe at the top right corner of the green with a nasty down and left slope. Putt was a mile away.

9 is a tough hole. Would love to see them lengthen it and make it a 5 par. Better risk reward in terms of going for it in 2.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
