I can probably manage a 12.x for a couple of months...

The 2019 Newport Cup Las Vegas, NV* So, just a quick note to say that @mvmac and I are looking at having the 2019 Newport Cup, a six-on-six Ryder Cup-style event in mid- to late-October, 201

I'll be following closely.  For those who may be new to TST, or who haven't paid attention to previous Newport Cup competitions, I can tell you that this event is just about the most fun I've ever had

Only 7 strokes away! Easy! Kidding of course, but it is cool that it has opened up a bit.

The former participants will tell you that it's one of the best.

The Newport Cups I've been lucky enough to play in are probably the best experiences I've ever had within the great world of golf.  Meeting new friends, competing with (and against) those friends, it was amazing.  Yeah, we got some really nice "stuff" too, but the people really make the event.

Sadly, I believe I have a conflict for that weekend, my niece will be getting married in Rhode Island.  I'll have to double check with the adult schedule-keeper in my family.

Hey, I'm in that range!  Now to see if I can continue it, and if I can make it.  I might be closing on a house the next week ... but if I qualify, it might be worth it.

Your niece could potentially get married multiple times, but the 2019 Newport Cup will only ever happen once.

I can't say that I'm in that range any more. 😕

I will;  I want to check that I should be able to make it first before doing so, as I don't want to get chosen and then not be able to make it.

If true, we may need to contact the New York Times for the earth shattering news this represents for the red team. This means we have a fighting chance!

It's like if Tom Brady was injured before Super Bowl Sunday. Now all we need is a family member in @jsgolfers family to get married and we might win one of these darn things.

You need to tell her to reschedule. Problem solved. 😉

I already have, and she CLAIMS that it would be too difficult.  Have YOU ever tried to tell a woman to do something she didn't want to do?

I played it about two months ago. It's in great shape and a good mix of challenging, fair and getable holes.

Rough was really thick so keep it in the fairway!

What's a fairway?

How's the desert play? That's where I would be hitting from :whistle:

      I would recommend spending some time at the range and film your swing. You can post it in the Member Swings thread. At the range, you can figure out how to control the driver a bit more. We can offer some pointers once you post in the Member Swings section.

      With the H4 or the watch, you tag the club before hitting by putting the tag next to the device. The tag is on the club butt end. After a round, you don’t really think about it too much. You just do it. I don’t know how far you are from @phillyk, but he may know an instructor in your area.

      So the biggest issue right now is marrying the hands down with an athletic turn. I can get stuck not turning. Things get interesting from there.

      Playing With Irons

      By John of Art ·

      Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.
