anyone interested in starting a thread sharing your personal pictures of the courses you've played.  A hole you love, or hate, a bunker that you always find yourself in, a view from the tee box that always makes you smile... or curse?

Personal picture, no pictures from other websites.

Golf is a new obsession, been cycling for years. Seems like cyclists are very into photographing their rides and places they ride, golfers maybe not as much. I'm just starting to stop and take pictures on the course.

Here's a picture of a beautiful par thee overlooking the Hudson River at Sleepy Hollow Country Club which is the course closest to where I grew up. Welcome to the golf obsession. I started taking photos of courses that I play about 6 years ago. Here's a link to about 5,000 photos of 300 courses I've played since then http://community.webshots.com/user/tewie19

This is from the 8th hole tee box, The Jewel Golf course, Mackinaw Island, Mi with the Grand Hotel in the foreground. If memory serves me the the green in the picture is from the 5th hole par 3. Hit the front nine two season ago, loved it!

17th at Timberstone GC in Iron Mtn, MI,  One of only a handful of 5 star courses in the country that may be better than many of the top 25 courses in the country.

17th at Timberstone, Iron Mtn, MI.  One of the top 20 courses in the country.  Look closely, - the green mirrors the shape of the lake in the background.

JHWMUSIC,

The lost dunes course looks awsome, I looking for a course for my brother and I to hit this summer. He's west of Chicago, looking for a course half way between us

The pictures don't even do it justice! Class A establishment! Its gated but doesn't have a single home inside...just a few high class bungalows. You also have to play with a forecaddie, but they are well worth it. They know every inch of this place...at least our guy did. If you look closely in those pictures you can see our forecaddie standing in the middle of the fairway...they sprint out there to spot your ball for you when you tee off. Graeme McDowell was also there a week before we were. They only catch is that it is private...but they will let people on depending on how busy they are. Hope you can get the chance because it was one of my favorites of all the time! If you don't there are a ton of good courses in that area. Whitaker Woods is right there...really tough, nice track at a good price.

    • Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often. 
    • So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.
    • Ah, the old EE in the backswing move. Chest going back and staying down doesn't help.
    • Extremely outward path with a very closed club face. Maybe unless you have a stupidly weak grip, like right hand way over top, I don't think the grip is necessary highly correlated to this.
