 None, playing one course day after day, no matter how great or nice it is, can be boring after a month of two. 

I don't think that's the exact question being asked though. It's "if you could play any course for free for the rest of your life", not "if you had to play one course for the rest of your life". At least that's how I read it.

If I was limited to just one course for the rest of my golfing life, it would be Spyglass at Pebble Beach. I love playing that course. That would be Heaven for me.

While we are at it, Hell would be that Rockwood course near Ft Worth

Yeah again I don't think the OP means you're limited to one course. You can pay to play at other courses but this "dream" course would be free.

You are probably right, but I would answer the OP  the same way. Just a first impression when I first read it. If I could play Spyglass for free, I'd move there, and only play it. Well, maybe sneak a few rounds in on Pebble, and some of the fine courses in that area every once in awhile. .

Furnace Creek Resort in summer could probably give it a run for its money being in Death Valley and all.  Hear it is a beautiful course, maybe one day when I get back out that way to visit family I can play it.

Myself and some golfing buddies play Furnace Creek every August. We all roll our RVs down there, set up our camp and make a week of it. It is a nice course, and at below sea level it can get down right hot there. In the mid to high 120s*F is pretty common there.

I have read about a tournament they host every year, have you ever played it?  I don't know how my body would respond to that kind of heat, I grew up in Vegas so a dry heat is something I know well but that is crazy hot.

If I lived near Augusta, it would be that course, definitely!! Around here, I'd choose Sahalee or Tumble Creek.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.

      Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
