I note that @mvmac is at Bernardo Heights CC.  I played there years ago when they first opened as they let public play at the time. Later on as a guest with a member (Bob Willding).

Yes, Bob is a really nice gentleman, he and his wife Lorna (As I recall). They worked with me in Real Estate.

A sad story....A family of Mallard Ducks crossed in front of his cart one day and he did not see them and accidentally hit one of the ducklings. The mother duck turned around, walked up to the deceased duckling, turned and looked at the golf cart as if to give it a dirty look, then walked away.  Bob was devastated for a couple of weeks. It was a total accident, and from my viewpoint, unavoidable. 

There was also a pair of beautiful Swans on the hole facing the  freeway that were pretty aggressive.

Some people aren't adding their labels to the same layer as most people. They're creating their own layer or something.

Could I suggest that if your label is in a different layer that you delete that one and add it to the layer that everyone else is in?

I was wondering about that one. Thanks for clearing this one up. I fixed mine.

Good thread!

Per iacas' request I have deleted my layer and added to main layer.

Thanks for pointing that out @iacas, fixed mine.

Also added another course I've been playing on a somewhat regular basis, Bear Creek where my dad just joined.

One more request.  I see just a couple golf courses listed without a TST member's name attached, I think Hawk Hollow and Cascades in Michigan are the only ones left. I'd love to be able to put a member name with each of the pins, so if our MI friend could edit those entries, it would be great.  If you need help, let me know, I think I can edit those.

This should be a "sticky" thread, if it is not already. Or someway to access the map easily without having to try and find this thread. (probably is, I just am too blind to have noticed).

    • Okay, so last night I went to my local place that does PXG fittings. I had every intention of testing out the PXG Allan Putter... which I did. But then, I ended up making either the greatest purchase ever or the worst. Time will tell. I ended up getting fit for and buying a PXG secret weapon... Yeah, I impulse bought a mini-driver.  🤷‍♂️ Clearly PXG saw me coming. Because it's a really good looking club and ... I like shiny things. They've done a great job on the look of this mini driver. I mean it looks great. When sitting down by the ball it looks like a 3-wood. It's actually kind of hard to tell from the top which is bigger the 0311XF or the Secret Weapon. But then you pick it up and realize there's more face than a 3 wood. I think the best way to describe it would be it's the look and color scheme of the Black Ops 3-wood, but the footprint of the 0311XF with a slightly taller face. Which in my opinion looks awesome.  My swing right now is a bit of a work in progress. But I was able to hit the club off the deck and off a tee, with about a 10 yardish advantage hitting off the tee. I also found I had the best results teeing it pretty low. I know, I was hitting it off a mat, so I had a perfect lie every time, but I was very surprised how well it performed off the deck. Currently I don't try to hit my 3-wood unless I get a perfect or near perfect lie anyway, so I think this club will be just fine as a 3-wood replacement.  One thing that was kind of cool, is the best shaft for me turned out to be the Hzrdus Black, 6.0 60. It was a pretty clear winner; Even in terms of feel. That shaft is one of the no upcharge shafts. I will say the Ventus Blue 6 Velocore performed very well. The Ventus Blue 6 Velocore is $300 upgrade. The Ventus also looked great. It's a great color, but the Hzrdus actually gave me better numbers so kudos to the folks at Project X.  Lastly, I broke all my personal rules when it comes to buying golf clubs.  1 - Never buy a club after only hitting for one session. Come back and see if you can repeat the results before buying .... I didn't do that. I just bought it.  2 - It's always a good idea to wait until the newest models come out and then buy the previous or even 2 years back models deeply discounted. ... I didn't do that.  3 - Never impulse buy a club. Always be certain the club fills a certain need in your bag. ... I didn't do that. I was perfectly happy with my 3-wood, until....  4 - Always bring the club you want to replace with you so that you can test it side by side on the same day against the new club. .... I didn't do that either.  5 - Never buy new clubs while you are in the middle of a swing change. ... Looks like I'm 0 for 5.  So, I'm probably an idiot for impulse buying a mini-driver. But man, it's so cool. And I can't wait to get it. 
    • Feels are personal. Some people will feel like it's a hit, some will feel like it's a swing. Some will feel like it's one and then have other swings, even in the same round, that feel like the other. "Swing" and "hit" are feel words.
    • I have reviewed the entire Swing Thoughts forum and this question has been answered many times in many ways. I am posting to seek help in clearing my own thoughts. Hogan says for the average golfer to "keep any conscious hand action out of his swing". 6 pages later he also says "Hit the ball as hard as you can with both hands".  This appears to be a contradiction. My drives are respectable (I can find them) when I focus on swinging with loose wrists. If I try to "hit" the ball it all turns to doo doo. Strangely, I can "hit" a 7 iron - and it is more satisfying than just swinging at it! I have been told that my swing is fast. Advice please
