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.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
