The Golf Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Good thread idea, can even go a little further and every time you play a course give your review of it, etc.. (I guess it can be from anywhere in Ohio?) I am from Toledo, so can give you guys a few good reviews from some of the courses around here, one being Inverness.

I try to play 1-2x a week, but it gets hard with the job. I am in sports sales though, so going out with clients every so often is a good time. It also has its perks working in Sales. Just got a new set of Nike VR_S Forged irons and a Covert driver for a significant discount :rolleyes:

Like Jimenez, Fowler (just got the puma orange golf shoes + glove) and Kuchar. Don't mind Phil, hate Tiger.

Call myself an average golfer. Range anywhere from 80-95, depending on weather, how I feel, how many beers, etc..
 
What's nice in the Toledo area? I go back to the better school down 75 and need some courses.
 
Dufner takes the lead! Yes lol


Good idea on the course reviews. Played Hickory Nut in Columbia Hills yesterday and it was pretty nice. Pretty average course and pretty good condition. They have a good amount of water/sand but most holes are pretty wide open and I only had tree trouble a couple times. One thing I noticed though is that it seems they have a league or outing going 24/7 every day of the week.

Inverness as you should know is real nice. (know people there, so I can play there)

Heatherdowns CC is pretty nice. Front 9 has a few tricky holes, shorter, more open, decent amount of sand. Back 9 is long and has an Amazon amount of trees. Good course for what it is, sign up for their rewards program and can get some discounts.

Whiteford in Michigan is a pretty nice course (3 to choose from). The one I have played twice is long and open, they keep up with it really well (haven't been there in a little bit though). Always have GroupOn's for it.

Legacy in Michigan, real nice course for the price. Only like $20-25 for 18+cart. I can't believe it is that cheap for the course you are playing on. Real long and open, some difficult holes, also has an island hole thats fun to shoot at, make a few bets with the foursome you are with. Hot beer girls.

Played the Hick in Monday, an it was in absolutely terrible condition outside of greens, where were the fastest greens I played all year.

Shot well above my average, but hit seven greens. Three putted all but one of those.
 
Played Dorlon, and continued my shittery.

45.
Went par, triple, bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey, double, par, par.

:chuckles:

The triple was a hazard, I proceeded to miss four straight greens, short, or just long, and then missed sub 8 feet par putts. Then chipped to <1 foot to save par from about forty yards, and then scramble par with a 20 foot putt that went in out of me purely pulling the putt, otherwise I'd have missed wide right.

I need to fix my suckery.

Nice lol. I probably played worse today. Went to the Links in Olmsted Falls. It's a really short course... par of like 66. It plays real tough though to me. Super hilly, lots of trees. Good prices though... weekdays before noon is 20 bucks for cart + 18.


Played Dorlon a couple weeks ago. Remembered one thing was how bad the cart paths were. I heard they fixed them, how were they? The curbs they have on all the paths piss me off either way lol.
 
I've never had a good eye for distance, especially not on hilly courses. When only half my irons are going straight to begin with the last thing I need is for half of those to end up long or short :chuckles:
 
Shot 76 and 79 at Turkeyfoot and Chenoweth in Akron on Thursday and Friday. Played great on the back 9 both days.
 
Does this count as Cleveland winning a championship? :chuckles:
 
I was so pumped up when we won, it felt like a playoff game ha.


Played Ridgewood in Parma today. Pretty nice course, will maybe play there again. There was a women's league out on the back and a an outing on the front, so we got stuck behind a ton of 70+ year old women. My buddy accidentally almost hit them when they were on the green and this one bitch grabbed his ball and threw it :chuckles: Probably the best golf moment of the year for me so far ha
 
Never, ever play pheasent run in Lagrange, even if it was free. I lost seven balls in the fairway.
 
Made me actually laugh out loud haha

The best part is I'm not even kidding. The fringe was rough. I hit a ball on point for a par three, dead straight, on hole, flat green, one hopped into the fringe and came one foot out four feet short of the pin.

My league plays at Turkeyfoot so I've played there a dozen times throughout the spring/summer...I mostly get stuck playing the water 9 (19-27) though, which has two par 3's around 95 yards, a 440 yard par 5, a ~350 yard par five (heavy dogleg but you can cut the corner with a ~270 yard drive and have a 100 yard pitch to the elevated green which is a scary shot), and some par fours that are only ~250.

I'm a pretty bad golfer. Terribly inconsistent, I will surprise the hell out of people with amazingly good shots, then take three chips to hit a green from 20 yards out. I'm known in the league for driving the 350 yard par four on Turkeyfoot's back nine, #12 (I think 350 yards is a little generous though). But I also have one of the worst handcaps in the league. :(

I really need lessons, or something. I swing too hard, grip the club too lightly, and I think a lot of inconsistency comes from trying to clip the grass and not take divots. I don't understand how you are supposed to grip the club lightly and take a divot at the same time like the pro's do. My left arm bends and my grip isn't what it should be but when I try to change that up it feels really odd, I think because I'm not flexible.

I look amazing on a driving range though.

Using the same clubs that I got in ~6th grade...Macgregor woods and Tommy Armour irons. Irons are nice, woods are alright, I don't think the clubs are the problem, though the displacement on the woods is crazy small compared to the new oversized clubs (I think ~460cc is the legal limit and mine are like...260cc?). I got a Ping G12 or something like that to test out back to back with my driver. Sliced the G12 every single time.

Anyone want to provide free golf lessons? IKWT? I'll supply the beer and a round of golf :)
