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.

    • 39/39/78 for an 8.7 differential. Ball striking was good. Putting and chipping was off just enough to prevent a very good score.
    • Worst thing on Sunday was that NBC and Peacock wouldn't let me FF through the commercials on my DVR recording. Very boring when a guy has a huge lead on the final round and everyone else is playing for 2nd place. At least it was USA 1-2-3 in the end.
    • First day of a trip to Bandon Dunes. We played Sheep Ranch today. A Coore/Crenshaw designed course. A par 34 on the front and 38 on the back. With 8 holes with either a green, tee box, or the hole runs along the edge of the bluffs at the pacific. It has amazing vistas. With wide fairways and intermixed gorse bushes. The defense of the course are its large, undulated greens and the daily winds from the north. Many times you need to take 3-4 clubs more, if you even barely cross the wind, your ball can be taken offline or come up half to a full club short. A fantastic layout.    here are some photos. 
    • At Sheep’s Ranch, Bandon Dunes. Shot an 84. That wind was nasty going from like hole 7 forward. It was like a 3-4 club wind if in the face. Greens are tricky with the natural grass. 
    • Yes. The full swing is not that different, and speed is important with all of them. You don't see Tour players hitting their driver 310 and then hitting their 7I 160. Of course, but they're nothing like those for the full swing.
