I play on a short 9 hole course with these distances per hole:  150, 135, 395, 175, 350, 248, 220, 198, 320.  Being that my best drives are about 230 and I average more like 210, this course really fits me as I can reach all the holes in regulation.  It's fun to play there for me.

wow that is short!, my go-to course is a 3009 (soon to be 3100) yard, par 35 9 hole course with a 554 yard Par 5 uphill!

Yeah, but that his is probably a par 30 or 31 executive, depending on whether they call the 248 a par 3 or 4. Yours is a full-length 9.

Yes it should be a 30 or 31, but they call it a 32 (the 220 is a par 4!!).  It's USGA rating is 30.5/94.

Curious; which course is this?

I lived 19 years in SD and I think I know where you're talking about.

Guess #1 - Mission Bay

Guess #2 - Steel Canyon

Guess #3 - Sail Ho (Pt. Loma) - if they adjusted the layout since 2009.

Gambling is illegal at Bushwood sir, and I never slice.

Balboa Park Golf Course - 9 hole

They have an 18 hole course too.

!! indeed. Par 4s shouldn't be driveable with a 5 wood, haha.

There is one like that at another (bit longer) 9 holer near me. It's listed at Par 4, 240 yards, but with some tee placements, it plays like 215 and it's about 10 yards downhill. I once hit two balls onto the green with 3 wood (before I found learned better distance) and birdied both on two putts. Haven't played there since; gotta leave on a high note!

Of course.

I thought more about this and realized Sail Ho was wrong, and those other two actually had 18 holes. Balboa, both tracks were always nice.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
