I am curious to what your favorite Indianapolis(or surrounding counties) course is. I am pretty partial to Coffin Golf Club, but the price of Thatcher is a no-brainer for a quick 9. Anyone else from Indy?

I play in Indy. My favorite course is Martinsville. I grew up playing there and always make it a point to play there as much as possible. I usually run to Sunrise for a quick 9. I can walk 9 in about an our and a half if I time it right. Shank is right down the road from my office. I've only played there once this year but I was very surprised at the condition of the course for a city course. I'm playing Tippecanoe CC Wednesday and Twin Lakes Thursday next week and Legends the 28th.

Legends is a great course!! Played there a few years back. My favorite has to be the Brickyard, just too expensive to play often.

Ironwood is pretty good. They have 3 nines (Lakes, Valley, and Ridge) and all three are solid.

I am partial to The Fort. Great track, will challenge any handicap depending on the tee box you play, and the staff is great. Plus, the package of staying at the course and playing is a great value.

I haven't lived around here very long. I still haven't made it south to Indy but I have play Meadowbrook in Anderson quite frequently, The Players Club in Muncie, and I have played Yule GC once.

I've yet to play the fort. It is on my list but I would rather play more frequently. $60 green fees make it tough. I've been told that the 2007 Zoo Book has 2 green fees for 1 coupon so I may go that route. My Golf Pass only reduced the cost to about $58 with a cart if I remember correctly. I think of myself as a connoisseur of cheap golf LOL.

Other one to play in Indy is Eagle Creek, it's a Pete Dye course and has 36 holes. Very good tracks and very scenic.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Hole 6, 185 uphill par 3, wind out of the right. I hit a 7 iron to 5-FT left of the pin. The ball landed about 185.5 yards. I drained the putt for a birdie, and most likely a skin.  2nd place is more of a best swing made. 110 yard wedge shot, where I did what I wanted in the back swing and downswing.  I hit a 75% partial wedge 95%. It was flushed, flighted, and beautiful to watch fly over the green. 🤣. I will need to redial in the wedges sometime. Since I am making an effort to make my former 3/4 swing length my full swing length.

      Anyone Else Stick a GPS Tag in Their Golfbag?

      Is that like "the longest yardstick you can find"? I don't have Airtags but I'd call all of them Airtags too.!

      Wind and Putting?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, that makes sense.  I remember an Open tournament when they brought out the wind meter one day because balls were being blown around the green. I think it was 45+ sustained, which probably means 60 mph gusts.  I think for the most part, it isn't something that needs to be taken into account.  Also, a golf ball is designed to optimally move through the air. It has better aerodynamics than a sphere.  Thanks for your expertise on this. That makes sense. I know about how wind diminishes the lower in height you go. I didn't know it went near zero at the ground. I deal more with tall structures (utility poles), and we have to take into account height and impacts of wind on the pole. A bit of experience, but wasn't sure how close to zero, non-impactful it was on the golf ball on the ground.

      Day 2 (7 Aug 25) - More work on tempo with mid-irons, moved to wedges for the balance of the drill.
