69.1 with a 121 slope rating.  Was rated in the past few years.

From the blues it's a 70 rating with a 124 rating.

It's a par 71 course (not 72).

I will likely start playing the blues when I am not with my regular group (they play whites) so that I can get a bit more practice hitting my irons.  It's a short course at just over 6000 yards.

I started to go out during the week at 7:00pm and just drop ball everywhere and practice (more fun than the range for me). Then I play my rounds on the weekend.

    • Day 29 (31 Dec 25) - played a casual year-end 18 with a couple of friends.  
    • Day 457 - 2025-12-31 Stayed after some GEARS Hybrid stuff with my senior girls and got some work in. Also, kicked Tegan's butt at a chipping contest with a wedge that has a lousy toe profile.
    • Day 141 12-31 Reconnecting arm and club face work. Making sure left wrist is arched only on the downswing. Not doing full swings, im pausing at the top and will do a few rehearsals.  Hit a few real balls  after, and had some curve way left. 
    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.
