Eagle creek is pretty close to you.   A bit of a links feel, so appropriate for this week too.

I haven't  played there in awhile, so I can't tell you what current conditions are like, but usually a good, fun course.

I can play 7200 yards, but its not as much fun as 6400. Doesn't matter to me Ill go wherever the majority likes to play from. Hitting 9 iron into Par 4's is a lot more fun than 4 iron.

I can't do better than "maybe", guys.  Spending Christmas with my dad, out of town, after losing my mom earlier this year.  Needless to say, my schedule really depends on how he's doing... Not co

I thought about giving it a go. The reviews are pretty bad, but I'll play anywhere at least once. I'm looking at a house that is on Timacuan this afternoon. I also though of trying out Winter Pines. It looks like a short little course, but it would be great for the boy since he is still learning. I have an application in on a house just up the street from it.

That would be fun. 

I gotta say that the realtors and property managers in this town really suck. The b**ch didn't show. That's twice this week.

That would be fun to do, I would be interested as I'm just over in Tampa. Going to play the National course at Champions gate just outside Orlando on August 8th and will report back on my thoughts about it.

I played Winter Pines GC last weekend. Nice little course, but definitely little. A few greens have some issues, but otherwise pretty decent condition wise. Thinking of trying Fairways Golf Club tomorrow.

I played there this morning on a Golf Now hot deal. The good news is that I played 18 in 2.5 hours. The bad news is that the condition of the course is deplorable. You can't really distinguish between fairway and rough.

Sorry to hear that, it really is a fun layout.

Yes. I would say it's the worst course I've ever played. I came back and played Winter Pines this afternoon just to make it feel like I played golf today.

Transferring my drivers license here is proving to be a royal pain in the...

They do have an online line that you can jump into with your phone though. =)

So far, so good. I'm getting used to carrying an umbrella everywhere I go. I paid the price last night when I didn't take one out to walk the dog. I made it four houses or so down the street and felt some rain drops. I turned around and saw the wall of rain coming towards me. It was a mad dash back to the house. =)

I shoot you a PM. Would love to play.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By jsgolfer ·

      Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By snapfade ·

      I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
