I actually live pretty close to Fox Meadow. Nice to see another person on the forum from my area. Unfortunately, I'm not a member of and have never golfed Fox Meadow. I have golfed at Ridge Top quite a few times though and it's a pretty decent course.

I am tempted to play a 3rd round with a combo strategy as I really don`t think the conservative or aggressive is perfect in all situations.  I have shot 74 from the whites this summer and have had some good putting days and scores since getting a new putter but have been more inconsistent with the tee ball, so predicting how I will play any particular day is difficult (paticularly using the aggressive strategy).  My goal is to flirt with par/sub-par at least one of the days.

You can still sign up, you just have until the cut-off date to play your round.

And realistically we might just expand this through all of September given my travel schedule...

    • Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.
    • Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices. 
    • Day 576 - 2026-04-30 Put my playlist on and slowed down a little as things were meh. Mostly got to an exaggerated P6 and hit from there.
    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
