@DaveP043, thank you for the tip! Rick

Pretzel, let me know if you plan to be in the area and I will see if we can meet for a round. - Rick

Thank you for the tip @bkuehn1952. 🫡

Hi, checking back in to see if any St. Louis area golfers get together for a round or three during the year. I have recently dropped my membership in a local league this year to work on my game and meet other people. I would love to hear from anyone that would be interested in meeting for a round in the St. Louis area. Rick

Thank you. That was thoughtful of you to recognize my birthday.

Thanks @ Missouri Swede. I will need to keep up and stay in touch with my online browsing.

Good pickup @RandallT! I've had that sway problem from the get-go, but it's improving, just not enough I guess. Thank you for guidance on my swing. Rick

Well, I'm just reading some of the replies to your outing at Stonewolf and realizing I missed a great outing with you guys! I am new to this online forum stuff and have not been keeping up like I could have been. I use Tapatalk to view postings on another golf site, I wonder if it would work for TST too?

Hi, I've been Playing Golf for: 15 months My current handicap index or average score is: 100-105 My typical ball flight is: All over the place The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: My drives and fairway wood shots are inconsistent. It may be time for some lessons. Thank you in advance for your feedback! Rick Videos:

That may be the ticket, I like that option. Thanks for the tip!

Good Advice, thanks. I may have been misleading with my question. We always ride. I wanted to carry both sets of clubs in one bag to limit space. We always ride and it doesn't make sense to me that each of us would be playing with our own clubs, but out of one bag. I can't see this working if we would walk.

My fiancé and I are planning a golf trip this Fall. I would like to cut down on the extra weight and baggage, if possible. I realize courses have rules about each player having their own bag. Has anyone had experience playing out of one bag, even if you are playing with your own clubs? Thanks in advance for your advice! Rick

As I mentioned earlier, I am learning and yes it beat me up. As I type, I am sitting with a heating pad on my back. I began by playing the blue tees with the two younger guys in our foursome. I moved-up with the other senior golfer in our foursome after five holes. . . not sure what I was trying to prove and to whom? I was able to grab a rate of $24.95 and they have a senior rate of $29.99 which includes lunch. I usually play during the week, since I am retired. One thing I have attempted to do is play courses that are not busy during the week, since the added pressure does not help advance my game. I have not played Emerald, but would like to in the future. I have played about 18-20 different courses in the area this year. I usually chase price when playing and like the courses with less player pressure, to an extent.

I hope I am posting correctly, as I am new to the forum, posting, replying, etc. I play weekly in the STL area, usually with my fiance', but she has been nursing a shoulder injury. I played Gateway National this week and paired with a nice group who were very tolerant of my newness to golf. I just began playing golf, ever, last August (2015). If you are up for a challenge and have patience to no end, then let me know if you would like to get together. I live in West County (Des Peres).
