Hey all, Tim here, from St. Louis. I am a resident of the city where we have lots of great courses. I'm also fortunate to have two practice facilities a short distance from my home. It's great to find camaraderie here. I work for the City of St. Louis as an Elecrical Inspector. We are enjoying some beautiful weather at this time that is very uncharacteristic of mid July. I've been taking advantage of it.

Hey Brian,

Great to know that there are more St. Louisans here. I live in the Lindenwood Park Neighborhood--not far from Ted Drewes. Ten to fifteen minutes south of my house is Tower Tee. I love that place. Steve Lotz is a great teacher. If I drive North on Hampton to Forest Park there is the practice facility at The Highlands. Did you know that for $50 you get unlimited buckets of balls, two group seminars and other benefits?

I used to play Forest Park as my home course but have stopped playing there.

I live about a par 5 away from tower tee!!  I have not gotten any instruction there but its good to know that there is a good teacher close by.

Send me a PM if you would like to play together sometime!!

Absolutely looking forward to playing with y'all. I'll PM you Brian--we're almost neighbors. I am playing Woods Fort in Troy, MO tomorrow. I generally don't venture so far to play, but I have family out that way and we're going to get together in the afternoon.

    • 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.
