Holiday weekends, some folks should stay at home. 

My wife had to go to super market, and I decided to tag along. Since it was on the way I had her drop me off at golf course. I would hit a few putts while she did her shopping. 

As we pulled into the golf parking lot, just about every parking place was taken. A busy place to say the least. 

The practice green is near the 6th hole. At one point there were 10 carts in n line. Yep, a huge back up to be sure. This back up was also near the club house. Folks were bitching up a storm. Arguing with each other. Yelling at the guys who were waiting in the fairway. They even got a couple of employees out of the club house, and yelled at them. There was some heavy duty name calling going on. 

Me, I thought it was a bit on the entertaining side. Thinking to myself, "what did they expect"? It's a three day weekend for crying out loud. It's suppose to be pleasent day off from the Monday grind at work. 

I realize this is the official start of summer, but some folks are just not prepared for the crowds. Full parking lots should be the first clue, as to how busy it is.

My wife arrived to pick me up. She proceeded to tell me about the arguments going on in the parking lot at the super market. Pissed off folks in line, waiting to check out. Folks cutting off others.Folks with boats taking up 4-5 parking places, and others blocking them in by parking too close. It was a mad house. 

Yeah, we both agreed that some folks should just stay home on long weekends. We will be going to dinner in a little bit, and "gawd damn it" there better be some parking places available ....lol 😃

That's funny. There were about five cars in the parking lot when @NatalieB and I went to play golf today. :-) We played nine holes and except for a single that skipped a hole to pass us by, we didn't see anyone else on the course.

Must be the area you live, @Patch. I played golf this morning, went grocery shopping, and then went to Target. Today didn't seem any busier than a normal weekend.

In Michigan, you don't travel on US23 or I75 north on Friday or south on Sunday.   The people that travel up north drive like idiots.   A two hour trip takes 5 hours of stop and go traffic on the xway.   We stay home to avoid all of  traffic since this weekend and Labor Day traffic are the year's worse in Michigan.   Road rage at its finest.

      My Golf Swing Journey

      By Vinsk ·

      @TxGolfDude I’m curious as to how long this ‘repeatable swing’ has lasted. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but we all know how cruel the Golf Gods can be. I too have had quite a golf swing journey. Unfortunately, when it comes to the golf swing I have zero natural talent. Nothing about it feels comfortable or natural. The grip? I’ve done them all and it still feels like I’m holding a knotted oak branch. The proper take away feels awkward and weak. Arms in a proper position, asinine and no feel of any power. I’ve had times where I think I’ve developed an acceptable swing with handsome ball striking for months only to fall apart. So, how long have you had this swing working for ya?

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By Ty_Webb ·

      How come the marked shots on the picture add up to 366 yards and the label says 325? Are you playing it at 325? In any case, that hole is narrow with a capital NARROW. If those woods are lost ball territory, then I think you hit from the tee whatever club is accurate enough that you'll be able to hit the fairway "most" of the time. That could even be a wedge potentially, especially depending on how restrictive the trees back near the tee are. I might seriously consider playing this hole as 8 iron 6 iron or so. There's more room up by the green than the fairway, so save the longer club for the second shot.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By mdl ·

      I took a big step back last season in terms of scoring. I felt I'd plateaued and committed to another round of lessons and working on meaningful swing changes. Went from a 7.9 to an 11. Back down in the 10s. Just starting to see some of the feel of improvement show up in scores. In fact a few rounds ago I had my best round, both score wise and ball striking and putting, in a while! Shot 79 with a mental breakdown finishing bogey-bogey-bogey on a tough three hole stretch where I go scared of the water blowing up my 70s round and yanked three drivers in a row after pumping it long down the middle all day and then hit two of three approaches scared-yanked away from  water as well. Feeling like I can put some 70s rounds together this season!

      Considering I only played a single round of 9 holes last year and only a handful of rounds of 9 holes in the 6 years before that. Now playing 18 hole on average ever 2 weeks this season. Definitely improved. Not by a drastic amount, but definitely improving. Hitting more pars and bogeys. Driving straighter etc. Practice helps! :D
