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 am coming down to Florida for a few days on a family trip and I have basically free reign to play golf. I am hoping to play at least one round and hopefully three. I will be staying at Star Island Resort just south of Orlando basically in Kissimmee. Does anyone have any course recommendations? Looking to play on Thursday August 3rd afternoon and hopefully early Friday morning and then in the afternoon. Definitely will get in a round  that Friday. Not looking to break the bank but I will spend for some nice courses. Looking for no more than a 30 minute drive. Let's hear your suggestions and let me know if you can join!!!

The only course I have played in that area was Champions Gate.  I liked it, links style Course, excellent service and experience from start to finish.

I'm almost settled in to the new house @David in FL. I haven't played there @jetsknicks1 but it is right around the corner. Mt Dora Golf Club is too, but it appears to be a goat track. We went to the Christmas thing in Celebration and parked by the golf course. It looked like a nice one @Vinsk.

where the heck HS @Gator Hazard been?

Sounds like you finally got to play Mt Dora CC.....sorry. ;-) 

Glad to hear you're getting out again.  Let's see if we can't all get together for a round one of these days.  Maybe at my club over here.  @Gator Hazard, @Vinsk, @jetsknicks1?

Wife was out of town this weekend. Funny how that works out. ;-)

I played CC Mt Dora yesterday. It was OK. I would play there again. Played Mt. Dora Golf Club today. Total POS. I'm gonna have nightmares tonight about hitting from dirt fairways. 

I would definitely be interested in getting together.

Just punched the greens this past week.  Give it a week or two and we'll see what we can make work.  Maybe a Sunday, later in the morning?

Preferences?

I have yet to see any courses do that. I wondered if it was required with soft/sandy soil.

Every course does it and it sucks when you go play and they didn't tell you.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas · Posted

      Yeah, let's just ignore that there were only 5-10 great players back then… 🤣 Ha ha ha. Whatever you guys have to tell yourselves… Tiger won MAJORS 22 years apart. That's a long time. He wasn't missing the top ten on the money list because he sucked, it's because he didn't play due to injuries.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Pretty accurate.  Another way you can look at it is how many years was Jack top 10 on the money list. It used to be the list that mattered, nothing else came close. Jack was top 10 from 1962-1978 and then once more in 1983 making 18 years total. He had another 4 inside the top 20. He was #1 8 times.  Tiger was top 10 from 1997-2009, 2012-2013, and 2018 which is 16 times total. His next best were 24th and 38th in 2019-2020. He was #1 10 times.  Honestly, they're both pretty long but Jack has quite a few more seasons in the upper ranks. Makes sense when Tiger barely played in 2010-2011 and then again from 2015-2017, and pretty much 2020 onwards. That's not an excuse for Tiger though.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Played three and a half rounds in England last week. I will not be playing more than maybe 4 rounds on any one course. Probably only about 20 rounds all year and between 4 and 8 of those will be alternate shot, so don't really count. Off to a pretty good start though. Three and a half rounds gave me 5 birdies and an eagle (with two of those birdies being on the same hole number).

      First round of 2026. No birdies and a very pedestrian 86. Maybe I should have hit a few balls over the past 100 days. Next year!
