Hello TST!

I will be attending the Memorial Tournament, June 2-3. I'm looking for any helpful tips on getting around Muirfield Village:

  • Any favorite spots to watch from?
  • Convenient routes between any holes? (I've read a bit about Muirfield being particularly difficult in this aspect)
  • Can the entire course be walked from 1 to 18?
  • All/any input is appreciated!

I've only been to one tour event previously, which was the US Open at Oakmont in 2007.

Thanks in advance!

I live in the area and have attended a number of times over the years. There is a large parking area just east of the 6th tee where most people seem to enter. The course is spread out and not too compact. The 12th green seems to be a popular spot. It is a par 3 over water that starts from an elevated tee. There is a bar behind that under a tent that makes good bloody Mary's. The green at the 14th is also popular. It is a par 4 that has water in front. Both of these holes have nice embankments around the greens for good, stadium style viewing. I recall siting just beyond the fairway bunkers on the right side of #1, which is a long par 4 uphill. Not too many people around and my son and I were enjoying being away from the crowds. A ball plops down beside us and a few minutes later we see Ricky Fowler approach us as he pushed one into the rough. Also check out the practice tee. I enjoy spending an hour or so there seeing some great warm-up routines and ball striking. Enjoy!

      Too Old ?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi @RetiredOldMan!  I am glad to see you are still playing and having good scores.  I hope that when I am 79, I am not only able to play, but still able to produce as good scores as you have been doing.   I look forward to hearing more of your success and your opinion of the senior flex shafts.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.
