My father, brother and I are going to meet up near Cleveland, OH to play some golf. My brother did some research and selected Boulder Creek and Blue Heron, both in the Cleveland area. The golfclevelandohio.com website provided nice but brief reviews of the courses and the websites are nice.

I'm wondering if anyone has played them and has some thoughts on either. Thought you might have an idea Erik considering both courses are probably within 1.5 to 2 hours of you.

I haven't played either, but I hear Boulder Creek is pretty nice and Blue Heron is really very contrived and unenjoyable. "Hard" for the sake of being hard, and in stupid ways like chutes of fairways in places, that sort of thing.

Mind you, that's all hearsay, but the hearsayers have been pretty consistent. Do you have time to change your plans?

Boulder Creek: Great track...it'll be outstanding in another 2 years. It's a little "new" still

Blue Heron: Hard for the sake of being hard...not a fun course if you ask me.

I'm more familiar with the ones on the eastern side. Doug could give you some insight on ones to the west.

Blue Herron, in my opinion is just stupid. The first hole from the blue tees, a par 5, is like 240 to carry a ravine. Don't go right either. The ravine is there also.

It's target golf, but in the worst way. When you are hitting 3 irons off of the tee all day to keep from going long into a ravine thats no fun. I think I hit one driver all day.

Highly not enjoyable.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
