Will be staying at a nice little cottage in a small town about an hour west of Philly. Any recs? Looking at Honeybrook and Tattersall, but a quick look at Google maps shows golf courses everywhere within a 1/2 hour's drive.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Tattersall (technically now Broad Run) is a great layout, just played it a couple weeks ago. Heard good things about Honeybrook, never played it, though. IMO, invest the drive time and head out to Iron Valley in Lebanon, PA. Beautiful tract.

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.

I played Honeybrook on Sunday morning. Very nice, second tier course. For this time of year the course was in spectacular shape. Broad Run is a bit pricier, but I haven't played it yet this season so I don't know what the conditions are like (although most courses are holding up well this summer here).

I'd also consider the Golf Course at Glen Mills and Wyncote. If you want some in-depth reviews of the courses around Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Inquirer's Joe Logan has a ton of reviews posted on line.

I forgot about Wyncote, played that for the first time this year. Beautiful layout, and it wasn't even green when I played it.

Played Wyncote, Honeybrook and Inniscrone (twice). All allowed walking, which is a plus. Loved Inniscrone. Love Irish style courses. Loved the long par 4s. Two quirky holes - the short par 3 and the one with the double fairway. Will go back one day and get revenge on those holes I made a mess of.

      Day 58 (29 Jun 24) a little backyard fun with the grandson as we had a little chipping challenge rules were simple: club of choice (new club every three holes); soft foam balls mandatory.  I stuck w/scoring irons (8-PW) while he went with long clubs (5h-3w-D).  It’s fun seeing him unafraid to step outside the box…good afternoon of working the basics of swing mechanics.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      I went up to Erie today for a lesson.  In general, above with keeping things shorter is always good.  For the irons, a bit more anti- revving motion with the wrists in the downswing. Right palm facing down more a A6. Basically? I was getting the club to the ball in a meh way. Adding this rev and turn makes it easier to swing out and not have to worry about trying to square the club face. My current pattern was a lot of times rolling the wrists over. Drill. Take club to top. Pause. Bring club down to A6 with wrist in good position. Feel like I do not move arms or hands at all. Pivot and hit ball. I should hit big push overdraws since the club is way closed and I am swinging way out here due to the exaggeration. I do not need much of this. I was overdoing it on full swings, which is good.  For the driver, this is the one that is wonky. I do way too much shallowing with the body, dipping backwards. I have to feel like my back faces the target longer, and I sway very vertical in the downswing. What feels like I am hitting down 5 degrees would produce like up 2-3. What felt like I swing left 5 degrees is like n zero swing path. I have to feel like I leave the clubface 20 degrees open. It feels like I’m going to hit the ball with the back of the heel and it produced like a 10 yard push. 🤣 It’s opposite of when I need to do with my irons in doing a bit of anti-revving.
