The Best Golf Courses in Every State
Edsland replied to dennyjones's topic in Golf Courses and Architecture
Grew up in Chicagoland, played Cog 4 a bunch, it’s a great course but I really like Cog #2 better. I played Caledonia G. & Fish Club, Pawleys Island and Harbour Town. In Michigan I played Barton Hills in Ann Arbor. -
Myy favorite time is when it finally hits 60 after a long winter.

Sergio doesn’t have a dad like I did, I was a pretty good bowler from bantom kids league all the way to the PBA. When I was 10 I was in a kids tournament and our team blew a game we never should have, as I walked to the lockers with my bowling ball I simply bounced it into a cider block wall. My dad grabbed me by the sleeve and sternly told me, NEVER AGAIN if you want me to pay for your bowling. Needless to say I took losing a lot better after that.

20+ handicappers hitting 300 yards (mild rant)
Edsland replied to extremeld's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Reading through a lot of the post is pretty interesting. Im a 20 and I can drive over 300 as long as I get a 2nd shot added to my 200 yd drive. My son is 30 years younger then me and golf's year round, is a 7, and averages about 250. He'll get the occasional smoked down hill dry fairway 300 but its not every round. A couple weeks ago I was in a PGA superstore and a younger guy was testing out a driver and had a few guys watching him so I waited for his next shot. All i can say is he carried 3 out of 4 310 and his swing was like watching TV, i would bet my next grandkid that he was no 20 handicap. -

USGA/R&A Release 2018 Driving Distance Study
Edsland replied to iacas's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
And the old guys don't average 330, so when the PGA distance average goes up its not just equipment. -
USGA/R&A Release 2018 Driving Distance Study

A guy on Sirius golf channel made a good point, every year a certain amount of golfers retire from the PGA or are marginal players that are bumped out of playing privileges. The new young guns, like Champ replace someone and driving average for tour is increased by younger, and a lot more skilled. -
When to Start Playing the Same Ball?
Edsland replied to themiah06's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
For me. It was when I stopped carrying a waterball for times when I was too scared to hit my good ones if there was trouble I had to negotiate. -
Very cool, im sure with his ball it wont be his last 300.

I played International at Myrtle Beach a few years ago, really enjoyed the island green but wasn't a fan of the Old Course. They where just flat and wide.

Am I Better Off Without a GPS/Rangefinder?
Edsland replied to Hacker James's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I use a Bushnell Phantom and love it, its only front middle and back, I usually go with front yardage if pin is middle or forward. Ill use the middle distance if pin is back of center, quick and easy. -
My son is in Lexington South Carolina, which is mostly year round. They'll have their cold spells but a week later its 60. As im writing this him and a buddy are waiting out a frost delay thats suppose to be an hour.

Closed Courses You Formerly Played
Edsland replied to bkuehn1952's topic in Golf Courses and Architecture
In BurrRidge Illinois my all time favorite was Timber trails, which gave way for houses, then something fell through so some of the places where holes went through the oak trees could still be seen. -
My son lives in South Carolina and last August we played a course in Augusta that was a few miles from the Masters course. We where the second twosome on the sheet 1 St was a lady with long sleeves and a push cart. We where wondering how this was going to work out with us riding and her walking, but after she hit her second shot around a dogleg we couldn't keep up with her. We finished in a little over 3 hours dyeing from the humidity and as we walked in the clubhouse there she was barley sweating having a sweet tea.

Where do you draw the line? WINTER IS COMING
Edsland replied to CptShankapotamus's topic in Golf Talk
I'm done when it's below 40 and wind, but it is kind of nice when the ball bounces over the water I mean ice hazard. -
Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?
Edsland replied to iacas's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I bought Zepp this past winter and cured a 30 year old over the top swing. Now my drives are straight to a little draw and thanks to Big Moss putting green I'm making a lot more 10 foot and under putts. I was a solid 95 now I'm a lot closer to 85 and having a lot more fun.
