I'm visiting family in Portsmouth VA next week, was hoping for a recommendation on a course to go to, or if anyone wanted to play. I'll be trying to play sometime 2/17-2/19

@colin007, we have some ok courses. I would suggest Riverfront out in Suffolk. Not too far from Portsmouth and one of my top 3 in the area. 

I am traveling this weekend but will be around next weekend. PM me your itinerary if interested and we can figure something out if family stuff works out for me. Always enjoy meeting TST friends.

Also, a little disclaimer - It may not matter greatly to you but it is winter golf at this time of the year. Hope you are not expecting green fairways..😊

Just following up, @GolfLug is a great golfing companion, he graciously took me to a course in Portsmouth called Elizabeth Manor and we brought the course to its shaking and trembling knees with our overpowering length, our precision like accuracy, and our laser like putting.

LOL!

Honestly this was the most fun I have had in 40 degree weather! BTW, you shooting 83 with borrowed clubs on a course you had never seen before, without much practice is pretty impressive in my book. You are a much better ball striker than your 'lol' profile handicap might suggest to some..😊

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 63 (12 May 26) - Nine hole session today with my friend Mike  - worked on approach distances to have good opportunities to set up for up and downs around the greens.  It made for a good time to discipline myself to not get greedy but rather steady.

      Knocked off #8 (a tough one to get) today with a mini driver, a chipped 9I, and about a 25-footer in the eight holes I played tonight.

      Playing and Expectations: Shorter Par-5s

      You're right.  Side note, and funny story, the only time I can remember hitting a shot O.B. on that hole for the second shot, it was a topped shot where I started near the O.B. marker.  I wonder if I'm not getting as good a shot as I could because I'm nervous about O.B., but I'm not hesitating to hit a 4W if I get a good lie.

      Day 262 5-12 Got an early practice session in this morning. Arms off body was the main focus with getting chest through with speed, I did much better with wrist arching through the downswing.

      Yea, developing a proper shot zone for that approach should would be helpful. If you are bringing OB into play more than you like, then it is either needs to be an accepted reward for the risk. If you hit 10 shots from that tee ball landing area. If like 1 ball goes OB, that could be outlier shots you need to discard. If more than that is creeping in, then it is probably not the correct shot.  Maybe it needs to be more nuanced. Maybe you hit more shots OB from the left side of the hole than right due to shot shape. If you hit it left to right, maybe being on the left side makes you aim further right, bringing in OB right. It could be an aiming issue.
