The Country Club is only about 3 minutes from my house. Even though its so close it seemed as if the club was surrounded by a 30 ft concrete wall. It seemed nothing ever went in or came out of that place. I finally had the opportunity to play there and it was one of the best experiences I've had golfing. It was a great parallel between the course and the US Open at Oakmont, the course felt as if it was my own oakmont. The most challenging course I have ever played, not very long but hitting fairways was essential. The course currently has their rough at around 5 inches, I missed a lot of fairways and needed to lay up on many holes.

My usual round of 79-81 at my local public tracks turned into a 92, I was humbled. Awesome Awesome track, get out there if you can find the connections.

played there a few years ago...it was indeed a great track. Did you get to play the smaller course as well? It's alot like Southern Hills. I loved the huge Men's clubhouse and a separate women's clubhouse as well.

I played the Maine Course and the Primrose (9 Holes)... one of the best experiences you can have around this area. There are so many better golf courses but I'm young and I just can't see myself playing Pebble Beach and other great tracks simply because I can't afford it. I just graduated from college so the cash level is low and the opportunity to play TCC was just really unique

ps. if you are from the area they have NO sercuity on the course, you can walk on and play 2-8, 11-18, easily

    • Day 242 4-19 correct hip/chest movement in backswing. Less hip turn more chest turn. Did a bit of wrist arch stuff as well.
    • Day 42 (19 Apr 26) - Spent a bit of time working on maxing torso rotation…hit a few pitches to help reinforce. 
    • Thanks - that was a total surprise…

    • First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
