Awfully convenient for him, but he doesn't get to make up his own definitions of words retroactively. [URL=http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Douchey]http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Douchey[/URL] And the thread was about what bothers us, not what we think is silly.

Sure he does. When he uses it, the definition is whatever he thinks it means when he says it. Ill take him at his word. But it doesn't matter anymore ... He's moved on, we should too. :)

I think someone needs to chill out.  You start out by calling a guy a douche who obviously practices with a plan (and it doesn't mean a hoot that you don't agree with his plan), then you take offense

Actually, the only things that are douchey in this thread are your posts.

Yeah, I saw that too.  What happens after awhile though, is that you don't go back and re-read the entire thread, you just read the last post or two and you always see the title.  My apologies for inc

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master— that's all."

Now I see my mistake. I didn't realize he was Humpty Dumpty.

With all due respect, and I mean this in the gentlest way, you're starting to be a tad douchey about this. Just sayin'. Now that you've made your point and all...

Yours in earnest, Jason.

It's a practice green, dopey, not a miniaure golf course.

I have noticed that a lot of clubs and particulatly public courses have discontinued the practice of having numbered flags on putting green holes. I think having numbers 1-9 or 1-18 encourages players to play the holes in a "rota".

The most annoying guy I played with last year never go the pin when out group got to the green.  If you are closest to the pin or are walking by the pin take it out.  The guy went out of his way to look at us and wait for someone to take it out.  Annoying and annoying.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
