Hello all, name is Matt. I am getting back into the game after a few years off and it feels like I have never played before. Seems like a lot of good information here, hope you don't mind if I stay a bit.

Welcome. I'm visiting the Grand Rapids area next month and have rounds scheduled at Quail Ridge (Ada) and Eagle Eye (Bath). Looking forward to some nice pre-fall weather up there.

Welcome to the forum Shenanigunz, here you will find a boat load of folks who love the game and and have a range of experience/opinions that cover just about everything to do with golf!

I have friends in the Windsor area and we are looking for some courses to play in Michigan which are approx 30-60 minutes from the boarder.

I would appreciate any recommendations that you may have.

Eagle Eye is a great course. Played an outing there a few years ago and it was one of the best courses I have ever played. I am I. The genesee county area, Flint. My fav local course is the Preserve south of Fenton. Was a member at Davison for a few years, and I believe it is now open to the public on the weekdays. I can't really suggest any course near Detroit as I never travel south to play. Michigan is great, only downside is the winters.

Thanks. Good to hear. I'm playing Eagle Eye on Thursday afternoon. Weather forecast for next weekend looks amazing. Sunny and highs in the mid 70s. Nice change of pace from the hot and humid weather we still have down here.

Right around the corner.   I live down the street from Copper Ridge.    I've played quite a few different courses this year around Genesee County but my local / semi-local favorite is Fore Lakes in Kimball, MI (near Port Huron).

Didn't know that Davison was open to the pubic on the weekend.   I thought you had to be a member or a member of the Athletic Club to play.

Was in Glen Arbor for several days and played Arcadia Bluffs (47 miles away). When you turn in off the highway you feel like you are in Scotland. I was in awe for 18 holes it was spectacular! You reach a green in regulation and expect to two putt for par but no way, their greens are multi-tiered and undulted.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
