Here are 3 photos I took well at Wild Rock back in October..... [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/113401/] [/URL] [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/113402/] [/URL] [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/113403/] [/URL]

It looks nice but your a dick for putting those up when it's 19°.

Great list....

The only 2 I've played are University Ridge and Brown Deer.

What I'd really like to do is come back and revisit my youth some day.  Play the little munies and local courses that I grew up and learned the game on.  Absolutely nothing special about any of them, but it would be fun.

Small world @David in FL ... So I imagine Johnson's Park, Shoops, Washington Part, and if you went high end Ives and South Hills? I grew up in the same town, still live in Mt. Pleasant...... I drive to Brighton Dale to play or Johnson's on the weekends.

Yep, all of the above!  Went to St Catherine's H.S.  Got my first annual membership at Washington Park.....when I was 14, a looooong time ago.  Played Ives when they first opened....would love to see what it looks like now.  Is the old barn still there?  If it is, you'll know what I mean.....  Always liked Brighten Dale and Petrifying Springs too.  I also lived in Mt Pleasant......on Pleasant Lane.  Used to ride my bike to Kenosha Country Club where I caddied for years before I was old enough for a real job.....then I worked for years at Ferraro's Pizza by Georgetown.....don't know if it's still there.

You're right......small world!

Oh man yes the barn is still there! Cost me reaching that par 5 in 2 this past summer! I sent one right off the roof but it bounced far enough back to get there in 3. Strong wind out of the north and I was playing the wind and hit it perfect.... so yes, I hate/love that barn! Not sure if you were in the area still but they added 9 more holes to the south and it plays well like a links course. The trees have matured nicely on the course but still windy as heck even on calm days! Ferraro's is still there as well... some of the best wings/pizza in the area.

I bet that would be a blast for you. If you ever do, let me know and I will treat you to a round at my club as well.

    • Day 16: range night! Worked on long game for about 40 minutes, with a good solid 20 minute focus on my priority piece. Things improving there. Bookended that with some wedge and driver work. Finished up with about 30 minutes of short game. Working on distance control and all types of shots and lies. Short game is probably as good as it has ever been. 
    • You should be able to install it yourself, honestly. You could easily blow it on and use some one-sided duct tape or something so it stays in place. That's what I've done with one of my grips.
    • Day 22 (12 July 26) - worked on putting tempo today using metronome for accurate tempo. 
    • Hi all, My Edel putter seems to have developed a rattle.  I don't think it's a big deal, as I mostly hear it when I'm tapping down ball marks on greens.  However, I am debating getting it fixed, especially as I intend to play a lot of golf in August and September, and to continue playing regularly after that of course too.  My issue is I think fixing it would entail the fixer (golf shop repair station?) removing the grip and, presumably, applying a new one.  My problem is two-fold.   First, I like the grip on it, although after eleven years, maybe it's worth replacing.   The bigger (second) issue is getting the grip.  I don't like the flat-fronted putter grips anymore.  I have the round one on my putter, and I suppose I could buy one from Edel's website, but would a golf shop install a grip I bought elsewhere and brought in?  Or could they order one if Edel is not a supplier of theirs?  I don't recall ever seeing any Edel products in a Roger Dunn or PGA Superstore, although the era when I would go to a store and browse has long since ended (for better or worse).  I'd also wonder what the timetable is, as I'm leaving for a seven week trip in under three weeks. Any suggestions on what to do would be very welcome, whether about the rattle or the grip, together or independently.  Thank you!
    • I'm glad to know that picking up grass and letting it go doesn't help.  It felt like it shouldn't, but I'm glad to hear there's a good reason why.  It makes sense that wind is different higher up than it is near the surface. For a while, I was in the habit of checking the prevailing wind direction before playing.  That helped if I wasn't sure.  However, I still am not really sure whether something is a 5% wind or a 10% wind (and, of course, I know that a "helping" wind helps about half as much as the same wind hurting).   One of these days, I'll learn how to figure out what to do differently if the prevailing wind is 10mph vs 20 mph.
