I'm really dying to play a full 18-hole course and my fiance won't have her clubs for a few weeks. I'd be interested in meeting up with someone to play a round. This is the course I would like to play at:

http://www.walterhallgolf.com/

It seems nice and doesn't cost too much. I would prefer to tee off around noon on Saturday but I'm flexible, I just don't want to wake up extremely early.

I have my own clubs, shoes, etc. and don't drink or act like a moron so you don't have to worry about that. As for my experience level...I've read an entry level golf book cover to cover, I've been driving, chipping, putting, etc. and done a nine-hole course once. So I'm obviously very new, you should know that in advance. I do know the rules and general etiquette for the most part. I'm a 23 year-old male.

If anyone is interested that would be awesome...please post here so we can discuss. I'm dying to go out this Saturday but I don't want to do it alone! I wouldn't mind renting a golf cart or walking, either is fine.

EDIT: Not to be picky but if someone does want to play I don't want to go with anyone that is smoking, drinking (heavily) or using chewing tobacco during the match. They really gross me out.

If you want to bring a friend or whatever that is cool to...as long as you are normal people. I might get a guy from my work to come but that is still up in the air.

Thanks for the kind words. The guy from my work is busy and so is another forum member that may have possibly gone...so I'm still looking for someone if anyone is interested.

Well, I ended up playing Walter Hall saturday morning, teed off around 8:55 am, and ended up shooting the best round of my life. Cracked 90 for the first time, shooting an 86, while making 2 birdies, and missing a 3rd lipping out. All in all a fun round of golf.

Now to build on it...

btw, Walter Hall is pretty easy... No Traps, not much OB, and only 6300 yards. It's fun though..

And you didn't invite me!!!

Well you are a lot better than I...I went to the par-three since I couldn't get anyone to go to Walter Hall and did pretty poorly until the last two holes which I did great. I would like to go to Walter Hall perhaps next Saturday if anyone is interested...but a fair warning, I really suck.

Since nothing happened this Saturday I would likely be interested in doing something this coming Saturday. Pretty much looking for the same situation as outlined in my original post.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
