Hello all,

I am from northern NJ. 28 years of age. I typically play Ash Brook golf course or Galloping Hills. Right now I am shooting around 100. I'm always looking to play whenever I can. I look forward to picking up tips and pointers to be consistently under 100.

Thanks,

Brendan

Welcome to TST! I am also from the area and those two (and a half) courses are usually where I play. Enjoy the site, explore around and get to know people; maybe we'll run into each other on the course someday. Best of luck on your golf game. :beer:

One of these days, we're going to have enough people in the area to get a decent TST outing going like those CA guys.

I am curious to know if any of you know of a non-private grass driving range. I am trying to find one and I've had no luck.

Royce Brook is nice. I've never been to Neshanic, but I imagine it's pretty nice there as well. @nevets88 could probably tell you more about it. The only other place I know of is Tara Greens in Somerset and I don't recommend that place at all.

@ billchao Thank-you very much for the recommendations, hopefully I can make it out to one of them this weekend.

I also think an outing would be a great way for people to meet each other and get to know a few other golfers in the area to call if you have a cancellation in your foursome.

Hi Everyone. I'm from NJ too around the same area. Tara greens is the only public grass driving range I know of around here. Rutgers has a driving range for $5 for 42 balls, but the grass is not open to public. And they also have a pretty big chipping putting area with scary monster sandtraps that are good practice. What's wrong with practicing on mats once in a while? You know your swing is on point when you are just skimming the mat, otherwise you are getting the ball fat or thin. If you always "tee it up" on grass then you wont be confident when you get a straight up dirt lie or if you actually end up in the fairway.

      Swing check. Cons: The countertop drill hasn't taken yet. Not crazy about A5 to A6 hand path. Pros: Decent BS width at A2 and right elbow at A4. All in all, not terrible but meh..

      Day 74 (14 Jul 25) - Late afternoon session w/9i, magnetic alignment stick, Divot board and hard foam balls.  Worked on getting the face square at setup and then returning to same through the swing.  The lines on the Divot Board served as referenced parallels for the alignment stick.  Did hit a few balls about 30 total - half with using the alighment stick on the club face and half without.  First time working with the magnetic alignment rod - really reveals when you have the face closed/open/etc.

      I mean, that is what I figure would be the case.  My mind is just trying to wrap around the idea that 22" left = feet aiming like 15 yards left visually. It's like in a CADD system, if the flag is the base point when you scale an image, it stays in the same spot as you get closer (scale up) or get further away (scale down).  I can image how if you have a 10-yard chip, it could look much more like your feet are aimed nearly 22" left of the flag.  Now I want to try to make some measurements and quantify this 🤣.  Yes, they do. Yea, that is true.

      Closer to like 22" than 36. Why wouldn't the target line (ball) be at the target (flag) with your feet parallel left of that? Perception messes with a lot of people. Almost all righties tend to aim to the right, because what feels parallel left — particularly given that your eyes are "between" the ball and your feet — feel like they're pointed MILES left even when they're square. Also, there's no rule that you have to be parallel left of the target line. I like to be slightly open at setup.

      Pitching

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree.
