Hello ladies and gentlemen. I'm a new member here. Just signed up about 20 minutes ago actually. I'm no where near a good golfer. I don't even know that I can call myself a golfer. I play the game but that's about all you can say about it. I've had my own set of clubs for about 10 years. I've played here and there in that time. The last couple years have been busy for me and I have not been able to get out and play. I've been more of a fisherman that last 5 years than I have been a golfer. But recently my fishing buddy has gone through a few family problems and was forced to sell his boat so I decided I was going to get back into golfing. I have always enjoyed golfing I just haven't been very good at it. I plan to change that though. I look forward to getting to know you guys around here and learning a few tricks from you all.

Welcome! I live in Hilliard. I've been playing since September and I love it. My father-in-law got me hooked on a trip to Hilton Head this fall.

What courses do you frequent? I usually go to Mill Creek in Ostrander, but I'm looking for some good, reasonably priced courses around town.

Around here I mostly play Blacklick over in Reynoldsburg. It's a CPRD course so it's fairly cheap. Well the short course is. I've never played the Executive Course.

I've also played Foxfire in Grove City (pretty nice course) and Cooks Creek (great course) among others. One of these days I'll get around to play Westchester Golf Course in Canal Winchester.

    • I believe the golf courses are leaving some opportunities on the table to educate and even insist that folks repair ball marks and fill in divots. They can and should put up signs strategically of what is expected. It may not cure the problem completely but it certainly would raise the level of awareness and improve on the status quo. Edit: I think the courses should straight up empty threaten folks that they would be asked to leave if found to be leaving ball marks unrepaired. Seriously.
    • Yeah, that's fair.  I'm not sure what the solution is.  I do remember "back in the day" when the ranger would remind you to fix your ball marks. I don't see that anymore either.  I guess my point is. I grew up in a time when fixing your ball mark was "cool". Because it meant you hit the green and made a ball mark. It's just not cool anymore.... which (in my opinion) is too bad. 
    • To be fair, I don't watch golf YouTube videos to watch guys fix pitch marks, I watch to see the content/golf so it makes sense that stuff like that gets edited out. You don't see them replace/sand divots either but I'm sure they do. (At least the ones I watch that are very high level golfers. Bryan Bros, Grant Horvat, Peter Finch, etc)
    • I think the popularity of watching youtube golf shorts may also play into it. Very rarely, if ever, do you see a golf influencer fix their ball marks. Perhaps that's part of it.  I know it bugs me.  Like many others I always fix a few extra ones when I'm on the green. 
    • A busy cocktail of apathy, indifference, lack of ownership.... and then throw in a dash of entitlement to top it off. Ya know, the usual ingredients.
