I grew up in Burlington County. Where have you played? I've played a bunch of courses in the area as well, but it's been a while since I lived in NJ. Riverwinds in West Deptford is a fun and challenging course http://www.riverwinds.org/ . Also check out Pine Hills. It's a fairly new course and very nice, http://www.golfpinehill.com . There are some decent munis and public courses in philly too, there's a course in West Philly that I played once, but I can't remember the name.

A Philly boy made good and owns two gorgeous courses in North East MD. They are easily accessible from S. Jersey or Philly, less than an hour south. He is a golfer's golfer and the course is set up for player comfort and enjoyment, with ample signage, phenomenal conditions, and a great staff.

Mr. Barbin, the owner, also is a leading supporter (and might have founded) that area's Victory Golf Pass, which offers access to a ton of courses at discount, with money from Pass sales supporting a charitable cause, which I don't remember all that well.

Check it out at http://www.chesapeakegolf.com .

Or Whitemarsh. Or Philadelphia Cricket...

Merion's so pedestrian. Only the common folk play it.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
