Just booked my first ever online tee-time because of this thread. Local course is $28 on the weekends and I booked it for $9 (albeit at 11 AM, which is a bit of a stinker, but its worth it for 1/3 the cost.)

A single walker will generally be faster than a twosome in a cart (and certainly a foursome). You're not going to outrun a single in a cart, but I doubt you run into that much.

Is anyone familiar with Royal St Augustine? I went to SA Shores and it was in kinda rough shape.

Break 90 Hit a driver (relatively) consistently LEARN HOW TO FREAKING PUTT

Shot a 94 on a on a 68.3/118 Doubled the first three holes before settling into a groove and only doubling one hole between #4 and #16. Unfortunately, I finished triple, double, double on the round. I'm struggling badly with the putter, and three-putted seven times. Every double was matched up with a three-putt, and the remaining three-putt was after hitting GIR.

52 with a miserable 22 putts. Three 3-putts and a 4-putt. I have GOT to get this putting thing figured out.

I've ONLY ever played muni/public courses (with the exception of playing in three scrambles). I've never had a problem with the exception of three guys damn near killing me with hooked drives and thinking it was funny.

I, for one, NEVER pull the pin when I'm playing by myself.

If the flag is leaning towards where you hit your chip from and you pull it out from the other side, the ball's going to fall in 99% of the time.

What about Royal St Augustine or St Augustine Shores? Familiar?

I'm mainly looking for a good "value" course.

Does anyone live in the area? Can you recommend anything?

Shot a 53/42 on a 69.7/124 Felt like the back side was going well, but I didn't check in the middle of the round (on purpose). No penalty strokes all day. Scores: Par: 4 Bog: 8 2xB: 3 3xB: 3 (three of the final four holes of the front nine) Hit 7/14 fairways and had 37 putts.

Shot 52/45=97. Made only the third birdie of my golfing career on the back nine.

Videos: I've been Playing Golf for: 5 years total, played 08-09, took a couple years off, started back in 2012 My current handicap index or average score is: 23 / 98 My typical ball flight is: Low, slight hook/draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Inconsistent contact. Chunks/tops This is honestly the first time since I developed a relatively consistent swing (though inconsistency is a large problem) that I've video taped myself, and I had no idea how short and violent my swing was. Six iron 21* hybrid 52* wedge

A very disappointing 53. A good round for me is breaking 100/50, so it's not like I was that far off, but I just didn't play well at all.

D:225 4h: 180 4i: 175 (estimating here, the 4i is usually a touch shorter than the 4h, but I keep it in the bag) 5i: 170 6i: 160 7i: 150 8i: 140 9i: 125 pw: 115 gw: on the way, hoping it falls in the 105-110 range 56: 100

49 on the front 9 at my local muni. Finished triple, triple to kill the round. Tough to have half the shots over par come on the last two holes. Score of 49 is a reasonable score for me, so I was on pace to do considerably better.

Thanks for your help

One alignment tool that I started using today was to ground my club perpendicular to the impact point (essentially creating a target line), then align my body as necessary before moving the club around behind the ball. Is this legal? Yes, I realize it's unorthodox and weird, but it worked.

Shot a 102 on a local par 72. Had a 46 out, 56 in. Ended triple, triple, triple, double to ruin a good round (by my standards). Had a group on our tails the last quarter of the way.

My last trip was to the "Tour Stop" store at the World Golf Hall of Fame in St Augustine. I went in to buy some balls, a hybrid, and maybe a wedge. Walked up to three different employees and started to engage them in conversation, only to have them either ignore me, or ask me to wait a minute and not return. Walked out and bought stuff online, and saved some money in the process. Won't go back there.
