      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 251 (10 Jan 25) - Was hoping the Friday group would play today, but it was a not go (I was a lone ranger).  Of course temps around 30 with some wind chill - so it was not a fair weather day.  Since I was going out solo - decided to play one of my faves - play from a different tee on each hole.  To keep it simple, I started from the tips (blue) and worked progressively through the tees - whites on 2, gold on 3, red on 4, grey on 5, back to blue on 6, etc.  Really changes how you work the approach game as I tend to play from the golds most days.  1st learning moment - fairways were firm and greens like industrial carpet on concrete.  So hunting pins was out - it was a day scrubbing speed with hitting a little short to let the ball scrub and roll out.  2nd learning moment - body is not as flexible so I had plenty of push slices, so the left side stayed pretty much out of play.  3rd learning moment - course played about 2 clubs longer, which was expected which meant more bogies and birdie looks were few and far in between.  Still managed an 86, so it was a good day for a practice round of a different kind.

      Wildlife on the Golf Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've seen deer, Elk, turkeys, geese, ducks, turtles, gators, iguanas, beavers, a bobcat and several snakes.  I'm sure there's other animals I've forgotten about.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      That's a pretty impressive improvement rate! Do you play any other sports that might carry over somewhat? Hockey, baseball, tennis - that kind of thing.  As to improvement rates compared with others, Greg Norman took up the game at 16 and was scratch in 2 years and then kept getting better too. Larry Nelson apparently broke 70 9 months after taking up the game. There's a handful of PGA Tour players who got good very fast. Then I played last summer with a 17 year old off +5 (and it's a legit handicap too). He must have got good fairly quickly. But getting to scratch is the (relatively) easy part. Improving from here gets harder and harder. Good start though!
