July 4 outing....but not quite

SWMBO has other plans for the 4th, so I will get in a round on July 3 at Woods Valley to take advantage of their Senior Monday specials ($29) or perhaps the early Twilight (noon) for only $20.  I've played it a few times. Not bad, interesting, but hot and little shade. A couple of blind green, downhill, terraced  tee holes that require pin point accuracy. Don't venture into the hazard areas unless you happen to like rattle snakes.  Many of the North County San Diego courses have some good deals these days.

North County inland courses are probably worried about weather in the 90's affecting turnout. I've also noticed golf isn't so much a big holiday deal. Maybe because so many are retired anyway?

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

Probably. Temps have also been triple digits a few days. I played Pala Mesa a short while back, and guy there only charged me $25 including a bucket of balls. I guess he deferred to me being a military vet as he was in the Marine Corps.

There are also places around that seem like a complete total rip off. I can't imagine where it is worth it to pay $100 + for a round but I know people do.

Try North of $500 in Japan and some places in Europe! or for that matter Pebble Beach. Torrey Pines can cost a bit if you are not a San Diego Resident. They used to have a San Diego County rate, but I believe that is gone now.  Luckily, I get comp'd at Las Vegas Country Club, er I should say that SWMBO does, but they don't check I.D.'s So I can go in her place.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
