Not too far away... Bull Run; Virginia oaks. I live near Meadows Farm also. Nothing special; not worth the drive from NVa.

Two questions...How do you get in contact w/this Bach guy and...What the heck is a fugue anyway?

Its annoying but I am getting used to it and all the huge crowds that follow me around on the course. Not.

Ya, but cheating sort of evens things out.

I found Johnny's remark funny and accurate not stupid. Just Johnny being Johnny.

I like this response also though I don't shoot in the 70s. I often tell my friends no golf course is that hard if you can hit it where you want it to go. Conversely, any golf course can be hard when you can't. I don't mind a good challenging scramble or two but doing so on every hole gets old fast.

When I have no penalty strokes. Means at least I am keeping the ball in play and having a shot at making decent scores on holes even if I'm not hitting every shot or making every putt.

I have had a lot of breakthrough moments when I thought I had found "it". Unfortunately, "it" doesn't work the next round.

Since I live in F'burg, I will keep this list as some must play. I like W'burg Natl (Jamestown course) and ,Tradition Golf Club At Kiskiack (also near W'burg) and Mataponi Springs. I've played at the Homestead (old course) but would love to play the Cascades. I haven't played any courses near Richmond.

I live near F'burg. Here are a few favs: Williamsburg Ntl (Jamestown), Mattaponi Springs, Forrest Green, Virginia Oaks, Tradition Golf Club At Kiskiack, The Homestead (old course), Nansemond River. Cannon Ridge and Augustine are good along w/the Gauntlet. .

I served from 1976 to 1996. Made it through PI and OCS. Mostly East Coast; Lejeune, Quantico, Norfolk. Logistics Officer. Still work/support the Corps as a contractor.

I use a slightly strong grip for most of my shots except I stregthen it for the driver to reduce my slice. I used to use the same interlocking grip for putting but recently changed to overlapping w/good results. So I guess you could say I have 3 grips also. My golf game however is probably more like tiggers rather than Tigers!

I normally use a hard ball usually the Cally Warbird. Good distance but no feel and forget stopping it at all. However, lately my driving has gotten a lot straighter so I played half a round w/a PV1 that I had found. My distance off the tee was a little less especially w/any mishit drive. However, if my distance was too the pin the PV1 stopped. I'm not talking pro back up spin but maybe one hop and just a little roll out. Much better than the hard ball where the roll out is 10 or 12 feet or more. I love the PV1 but like other just can't see paying the price right now. I may try some the balls mentioned above just to see how I hit them.

I use interlocking because I couldn't find anything else that worked better and it feels natural since I use it for all other strokes.

On the gof channels "the Turn" this week they looked at this very subj. They said it was quiet lower body, increase arm speed (not hand speed), and low follow through. Like most golf shots, you would probably get 3 different answers if you asked 4 people.
