Got my first hole in one yesterday, playing with son at Yocha Dehe (Cache Creek) in CA. 90% 9 iron, 140 yards, hole 16.

This had been on my radar to consider buying (not the collegiate version, just the stock retail). If there's a team you like in the offering, or if you can stomach putting on an Ohio State or Alabama mat, this might be a good fit for you. Only $30. The Hole Thing Putt your money where your mouth is. (And no, that's not a typo.)

Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?
Chris Brooks replied to Smidd4's topic in Destinations and Travel
I have nothing to add but "get out of town and you'll find better options." I'm in Vegas frequently and have mostly given up on finding quality affordable golf. I will check GolfNow and sometimes find deals that are attractive. So now I mostly just practice when I'm there, and I think Angel Park is one of the better options in the area for range and short game work. I do want to bring the wife out to the executive course one of these days. -
