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.

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.

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.

    • Attempting to lift. Any better?  
    • Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!
    • Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)
    • Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
