Mikejtilley, you picked my favorite holes on the course. you just forgot 7, 8, 9, 13, and 17.


7 is an awesome hole.  8 is a pain for a par 3 with the pot bunkers flanking the green and 13 was my favorite project working out there with the new style bunker.  I didn't want to flood the thread with pictures or else I would have posted one of each hole haha.  The whole course really is beautiful.

The downhill par three sixth in mid-December, which will look even better when the heather flowers in a few months' time. Awesome hole.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

jsgolfer just posted a photo of Half Moon Bay that reminded me of this one I took a few years back.  This is the par-5 18th at Waterville Golf Links on the south coast of Ireland.

Nearing the end of a lovely day of golf.

Hi Jakester,  I saw the reference to southeast Wisconsin.  When I was 13 years old I spent a summer on my aunt and uncle's dairy farm near Dousman (now sold and developed into housing).  It was just a few miles from Kettle Moraine Golf Course, so we played there at least ten times.  I remember it being really fun.  Is that near you?

I often take my wife to Lomas Santa Fe Executive.  Here's a picture of my wife playing golf there:

My father and I would play that course back in the mid-70's for a quick round of golf.   I would have never thought it would show up here.  Solano Beach.

This little Gem in Pharump,NV is always worth the drive for us locals in Las Vegas who know about how nice this course is for ridiculously cheap.. Today was pretty windy throughout the day, at one point we waited a few minutes for the huge cloud of dust to pass so we could see the green.

Moutain Falls Golf Club #9 (Two Greens are on this hole due to originally being a 9 hole course.)

First evening holes at Hindhead and the light was just incredible - shame I didn't have the proper camera with me, but the phone will have to do!

First green:

Second from tee:

Third from tee: (awesome hole - bank of heather right, huge drop off left)

And to top things off, a deer from where we get our logo, halfway up the bank of heather:

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
