First Birdie of the year at Links of Sandpiper in Lakeland Fl, 450ys Par 5, Pulled driver to left rough trying to cut corner, Left myself 194 in uphill, hit my 5 iron to 8 feet. Unfortunately greens were in terrible shape and it was a sliding right to left putt, hit a nasty piece of dead spot and hopped left for a missed eagle putt with a 6 inch tap in for bird.

Was Talking with a buddy last night and got to thinking how many different courses we have played and was a little underwhelmed at my count. I assumed I was around 100 give or take. After about an hour of racking my brain I realized Im right at or just above 60. There could be a few that I cant recall or don't have record of but overall felt like that was a decent number. 55 in Florida, 2 in Arizona, 1 in New Hampshire, 1 in Michigan, and 1 in Indiana. Now a new goal of getting to that 100 courses. Plan is to get to 75 by end of year and have dates of courses already set to get me to 70 so 75 shouldn't be out of question. Below is the list of courses: State Courses AZ Phoenician AZ The Legacy FL Abbey Course at St. Leo FL Babe Zaharias FL Bardmoor FL Bent Tree FL Big Cypress Exec FL Big Cypress South FL Bloomingdale FL Bobcat Trail FL Champions Gate FL Chi Chi Rodriguez FL Clearwater Country Club FL Club Renaissance FL Copperhead FL Countryway FL Cove Cay FL Cypress Creek FL Diamond Hill FL Falcons Fire FL Fox Hollow FL Freedom Fairways FL Greenfield Plantation FL Hawks Landing FL Heritage Harbour Bradenton FL Heritage Harbour Land o Lakes FL Heritage Isles FL Highlands Reserve FL lake Jovita North FL Lake Jovita South FL Lexington Oaks FL Links at Greenfield Plantation FL Links of Lake Bernadette FL Links of Sandpiper Lakeland FL Northdale FL Plantation Palms FL River Hills FL Rocky Point FL Rogers FL Saddlebrook- Plamer FL Saddlebrook- Saddlebrook FL Sandpiper Lakeland FL Sandpiper Suncity FL Scepter Golf Club Falcon FL Shalamar FL Seminole Lake Country Club FL Silver Dollar FL Silverado FL Streamsong Red FL Sugarmill Woods Cypress FL Sugarmill Woods Pine FL Summerfield FL Temple Terrace FL Waterlefe FL Wentworth FL Westchase FL World Woods Pine Barrons IN Rock Hollow MI Ravines NH Brookside

So ive been around an 18 for years because I never practice and just play a few rounds a year 5-10. Last year grew my golf buddies list and I'm now getting out 1-2 rounds a month. Through this I purchased Arrcos and started tracking stats and below are the things I would like to achieve this year. Improve average Driving Distance to over 230 (Par 4s and 5s). I currently am averaging 192 due to not having confidence off tee and using either 5 iron (185-190) or my 2 Hybrid (225) off the tee. I typically only picked driver on a wide open par 5 if i thought i had chance to get to green in two if i hit it well. typically hit around 230 which is why I just hit hybrid, but if I put a good swing on it I get to 260ish. Swing speed is 104-105 but -0.7 AoA and 1.36 Smash so got to focus on driver a lot this year. Reducing Handicap to 12 by year end. Practice at least 5 hours a month. The third is obviously the most important as it will reduce mishits and improve confidence. Currently got fit for a new driver this year which has improved confidence and allowed me feel where the club head is much better than my previous driver which was 15 years old now.

I do play DH. I live 5 minutes from the course.

Honestly, it was something that I came across watching some YouTube videos and hadn’t heard of shot scope in researching Arccos as another option.

Ive Recently added the Arccos sensors to my clubs and have completed 5 rounds so will just start to get into Caddie mode next round. However my initial impression are very good. I do have to say their stats on where you are gaining/losing strokes seems to be super helpful and really has shown me i need to change where im spending my limited time practicing. How does everyone else feel about the improvements they have made over years. All below insights are compared to a 10 HCP since that is my goal this year.

Just rejoined after a long hiatius and looking to improve from the 18 I've been and on a quest to 10. Since them I've gotten eagles and have broken 90, are awards still being given?

Thanks ya I'll update

Been off the site for 2 plus years but I'm back. My game has improved a lot and I'm now shooting low to mid 80s where I was shooting in the high 90s then.

Lmao. Yeah it is really rough. I froze this whole weekend but man playing those 54 holes was a great stress relief.

Only course Ive played that your mentioned was Babe Zaharias and I actually like that course alot. Its a short little course and will give you the possiblity of driving a couple of holes. I normally drive about 240 but if I catch one really good I can get it out to about 280 and I have driven three holes there. Greens are normally in good shape but always putt really slow. Have fun.

Yeah for Saturday and Sunday they have higher prices and weird times but during the week he can play a Saddlebrooke or Lake Jovita which are both supposed to be really nice in the 75 dollar range and then if he wants he can play a cheaper course on the weekend or he can save the money during the week and pay more to play the nicer course on the weekend and spend the extra money.

Hes only five days away chris. lol I love how everything becomes a debate when we post on same topic.

If you book thru golf now their isnt a non fl resident price its all same.
