So I've been gone for approximately the last 4 years. That's what happens when you have a junior golfer in high school. Now that my daughter all set for college with a all in golf scholarship. I get to play and practice way more than a few times a month.

Played the front nine at Three Ridges golf course in Knoxville,Tn. It's a hilly 6415 yards with a 73.2 raiting and a slope of 128. I play here often and know the course well. I shot 39 with 6/7 FIR's, 4 GIR's, 16 putts one 3 putt, I got up and down 2/4 with one sand save. Only one birdie with 3 lagitamant chances. Overall a solid round considering I haven't played or practiced very much, I've been working on my daughter's game more than mine.

At my "home" course I can walk by my self in about 3.5-4 hours. If I take a cart it will be around 2.5-3 hours depending. My home course is very hilly, but all courses in east Tennessee are for the most part.

Played 9 holes with my daughter and shot a 50, can't even remember the last time I shot anything near that. Last year early on I shot a 46 on 9 and a 87 on 18. My warm up was relay good and was hitting the ball great. My stats were awesome, 0 GIR, 1 FIR, and 18 putts, fought a slice with the driver all day which is never the case, a cupped left wrist was the culprit. Apparently it was contagious my daughter shot a 58 which is horrible for her also. Her stats were 1 GIR, 1 FIR with 20 putts, she pared the last par 3 we played today, I bogeyed. Beating dad is always fun for her, she's 13. All in all was a great day, this was my 1st round, well half a round in 3 months.

The last time I went to the Edwin Watts I got a mint demo set of Ping I20 irons 4-sw for $375.00 and a dozen Titleist Pro V1x. Now that the weather is getting nice here in East Tenn. I'm read for the season to start.

Just wondering if anyone is watching this? Same producers minus Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. I've watched all episodes through this week. Entertaining with some of the same daddy/child drama. So far I like the movie better but I'll watch the rest of the series and see how it ends up.

They call it "grass" and it grows on the ground.

I have watched every season for past 4 years or so and this on dose have one of the deepest talent wise to memory. Tyler seems to be the most colorful of the group, and he isn't afraid to talk about things when asked. Plus he's a Knoxvillian which is cool. Gotta route for the hometown contestant when it happens. Although i don't think he has a realistic chance without some luck. But hey you never know.

Yea If you can par out 9, 10 and 11 you have a good round going. Wow may have to check out River Island if the snow/ice ever melts.

I know I coming to this group and thread a little late, but I've been a member of Three Ridges PDP "player development plan" for 4 years now. Really good deal $42 and you get unlimited range balls and you can play twilight for $10 with a cart. The course is always in great shape with the exception of last year, but all courses around here suffered last year. Centennial is decent like the facility but the greens aren't the best.

+1, then enter it in a app.

Played them for past 3 season's consistently, and love them. I guess everyone has their preference. I have played Wilson DUO's here and their because my daughter plays them and they're ok, feel real good on iron shots. I do plan to play several balls this spring once it's warm to see if I still like the NXT Tour.

WOW!

Tennessee has had some great weather the past several day's. Sunday temps in the mid 50's hit 3 buckets of balls, which gave me a opportunity to work on some swing changes that I'm in the process of making. Monday temps in upper 50's hit 2 buckets and played 11 holes, not my best with 4 fir and 4 gir, but still shot 41 on the front 9. Today temps in the upper 60's I only hit one bucket, I had to work tonight so I didn't play. The forecast for the 10 days is not great low 40's with a chance of snow Monday. So back to reps in the house until?

Congrats on the hole in one! After reading all of your thread seams that I have some similar swing faults as you. Start with the basics and check your grip, you may have too strong of a grip or have the club face closed at address. I went through the same thin as you last spring and that was the root of the my hooking problem, a closed club face at address. Good luck.

Most golf club pros know someone that sells used golf clubs or someone trying to get rid of some type of club. That's how I got my irons. One of my favorite places online is www.2ndswing.com but shipping may get expensive like other posters have stated. Good luck.

I was leaning that way, and thought I might use the same lengths that US Kids biggest set. I just don't want the shafts to be too heavy for her or change the swing weight. I guess getting her fitted would be the best option for her. We may make it a father daughter day. Thanks for your input MVMAC. HAMMER4 craigslist is not good for that kind of stuff out this way.

My daughter is 13 and has a set of US Kids TS60's (loves them), My question is per their fitting guide they are too small for her at 5' 31/2" now (she's grown a lot this year), should I look at adult clubs or would another set of junior clubs be ok. Her driver club head speed is between 75-80mph and shoot's in low 50's on 9 holes and is solid tee to green (short game needs lots of work). Any ideas or comment's welcome.

I play mostly by my self mainly because I have lots of days off during the week. On the weekends I play with my daughter (she's 13) which is a lot of fun, and random people at the muni that I play at. But I do enjoy my rounds by my self, especially those rare days that I get the course to my self and can play 18 in 2 hours.

Holy long thread! I wish I had done the same when I started back playing a few years ago to track my progress. I may take a note out of your playbook moving forward. I do think that all of the time you've spent playing has payed dividends in your progress. I'm a range rat and generally practice more than I play. I've not played in a month because life has gotten in the way, but reading this has inspired me to get back at it, if the weather cooperates. Good luck with continued progress.

Hi TST peeps, I'm a ER/ICU nurse, when I have down time I can use the computer for almost anything.
