Bethpage Black, Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, TPC Tampa Bay, Innisbrook Copperhead, not to mention the Water Gap Country Club which held the Eastern Open from 1926 to 1928! But as someone noted above, these courses are in NO WAY similar to what the pros play when those events are held there. Fairways are half as wide, rough twice as deep and greens twice as fast. And tee boxes are as much as 100 yds further back. I've shot 80 at Black, 74 at TPC, 82 at Pebble and Spyglass, and a 76 at Copperhead. Put it into "tour" shape and there isn't a chance I'd shoot those numbers. Oh, and as for the Water Gap CC, I shot a 77:-D

We played the TPC Woodlands in Texas the day after the big Shell Open tournament (I know this was several years ago) but it was great. Very hard and our scores were awful. The "rough" is actually rough compared to some local courses. Need to stay in the fairway on a TPC course.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.

      Day 1 - 2025-12-20 Starting a new streak, of at least 1. With rain dumping for the next week in the north bay area, I'll be a lot of outdoor net work and maybe some putting. About 10 minutes of 7 iron work, focused on the usuals: weight transfer, keeping hands behind me. I'll have more time in the coming days for video review and maybe some Hack Motion.

      Day 40 (20 Dec 25) - got in a few reps with the 55° wedge - focused on low flighted spinners from about 10 yds in, then wrapped up the session with a few bump and runs chips with the 5i using a putting type stroke.
