Just wondering how you deal with the big city w/respect to golf - the traffic, lack of places to play, no car perhaps, etc...

I live in Manhattan, and all that driving wears me out by the end of summer.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I live in upper Manhattan as well and don't have a car, yet I manage to play...Van Cortlandt mostly, but sometimes Mosholu (both in the Bronx, both accessible by subway).

I live in Queens, so a little more easier for me to head out to long island. Usually i do have to get up 4-5 AM in the morning to go in as walk on at Bethpage. However, i try to get a reservation wherever I can for a early morning round, and have traveled as far as end of Long Island to play. =) I think I've been to more golf courses in the 4 months I've been playing than my friends who's been playing for more than 5 years!

Try zipcar.com for car rentals. You go to the garage, zap your card and go.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices.

      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."
