(OT) Mapping Shot Zones on the Course

[billchao]

Though the golfsmith near me uses GC2 that can show dispersion areas like trackman and flightscope. Maybe I can go in when it is slow and rent out a simulator for an hour.

Mine does, as well. I didn't realize that you can rent the simulators at Golfsmith. I was just going to go there some time with clubs and pretend I was comparison shopping.

I don't think I can That is why I said maybe.

I could also ask and see if they are willing to let me.

So what is the best way to go about developing the Shot Zones. I suspect I might have to go out onto the course with one of the last tee times and find a golf hole here I can hit a lot of shots with out be interrupted, and loosing golf balls.

Has anyone actually plotted there Shot Zones, and how did you go about doing it?

I was wondering the same thing. I spent a few hours in there last Friday hitting irons and drivers. It would be nice to rent the GolfTec room for an hour.

Seeing as how there's not a trackman/flightscope near me that I know of, this book inspired me to buy a rangefinder so as to best implement chapter 7 and chapter 19 page 149.

I'm planning on mapping mine out this week.

And I think you hit the nail on the head.  The sun sets around 8:30 here and yesterday I called a course to see what time they were letting people out until and they said 6:30.  So, I figure that gives me roughly 2 hours to plot my shot zones.

Yeah I had the exact same thought. I was going to call the golf course and book the last tee time available. There are few par 5's that I could spend some time hitting shots. I really don't feel like putting a TON of ball marks on the green.

You get balls on the green?  How does one do that if they're not chipping or pitching?

Kittyhawk is usually wide open in the evenings. The practice hole could work for wedges (for me at least). We could meet up there some evening and work in tandem.

I was thinking about going onto the Falcon for this. It might be less crowded in the evenings being a par 3/4 course. Though there are a few par 5's on the hawk that could work really well. Like the 2nd par 5 on the back nine. That is wide open.

Yea, I am thinking Friday evening. The weather is suppose to be nice, and I am sure people would rather spend a Friday evening away from the course. Monday's to Thursdays seem to be league nights out there.

I used to go out there about any evening after 7:30 or so and it was wide open. If I see Jana tonight, I'll ask her if we could do this. She knows me pretty well and probably won't mind.

Added: There are some really nice green spaces in my neighborhood for this too. Might be hard to find balls though.

Out of town this weekend though.
