Modern course design. Do they really expect us to walk these things?

I like Todd Creek though, it's a nice course. I actually have a tournament there the first weekend of June, walking.

It's not a good course for walking. TC is my former home course and I played 160 rounds there in 2013-14. A local high school team practiced there walking one day a week and it took forever to get around them and they were considerate about letting carts through. The clubhouse to first tee is probably 300 yards, between 9 and 10 at least double that. Other long stretches are 6 to 7, 7 to 8 and not many if any walking friendly holes on the back. As much as the distance between holes there aren't many where a walker could cut through pretty much have to walk the path. Only time I ever saw walkers out there was the school team. Even cart path only days are rough there using a cart.

I think this trend is a function of the economics of the golf business.  A golf course simply isn't financially attractive on its own, but if you can combine a golf course with new housing it looks mu

Haha, I've probably played only 0.01% of all of the courses out there, and I'd be pretty confident in still saying that you are correct on this one.  To those who've never been there, below is a pictu

Most of the courses I've seen that aren't friendly to walking don't allow you to walk at all. They just give you the cart and the cost is built into the greens fees. That being said, I don't like

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
