Heading to Maine at the end of July to move my son out of his apartment in Orono.  Bringing my wife for her first visit to Maine.  Staying in Portland a couple of days, Camden a few days and then Bangor (where I'm from) for a for days.

Hope to get in 5 or 6 rounds over the week.

Will definitely play:

Samoset Golf Club - it's called the "Pebble Beach of the East" - Great Course, great views of the Atlantic.

Penobscot Valley CC - I used to be a member here back in the early 2000's, great Donald Ross course, he made a trip up 95 and designed a slew of great courses.  Augusta CC, Waterville CC (Mike "Fluff" Cowan was a member here and I believe an asst. pro at one time) , Portland CC, York CC, Biddeford Saco CC and a few others.

Kebo Valley - along with Aroostook Valley CC these are two of my favorite courses in Maine.  :beer:

Acadia National Park is in the background.

Hopefully I'll play a couple of different courses in the Portland area while I'm in town.  Going to see if my pro can get me on any of the private courses in the area, as I've played all of the public courses.  Sable Oaks has kicked my butt several times over the years.

Congratulations on the wedding!

I miss New England. Was not a golfer back 17 years ago when I lived there in Mass near Nashua valley, but am a sucker for courses with mountain view backdrops now.

Enjoy!

Nice man I'll probably be playing a lot of rounds at penobby June-July as well as Hidden Meadows which is my "kick Back and Relax" course nice 9 hole not to out of the way but just enough that you can play at your own pace without having to feel rushed. Hope the weather is good for you, today it's supposed to be 86 and mostly sunny!

Sable is fun and Prouts neck would be fun if you can swing it. Sunday River has golf now times.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
