Getting out a lot, nice. My friend and I are thinking Bethpage Black Monday, if we are feeling adventurous. Partying starts tomorrow so we’ll see if we’re up standing on Monday morning to attack such a course.

I agree. He does strike me to be almost Reed like though Reed is the cream of dikhead crop. I like guys like Ricky Fowler, Bubba, and even Rory I hear is a cool dude. He comes on with the guys on Me and My Golf youtube channel for pointers and strikes me as pretty down to earth even if you have to be cocky to be that successful. There are others but you can generally tell from their mannerisms on the course and how they respond to fans. One of my biggest indicators is when fans (especially kids) reach out for high fives or fist bumps and how a golfer responds. Show a little humility and appreciation and I’ll support you.

Is it swing or character related?

I’m not a Bryson guy but apparently he drank tons of protein shakes every day during the shutdown which he says has attributed to his big power gains. I think he’s doing PE’s but who am I to judge as I take SARMS myself, ha. So if you want to increase your power...drink like 10 protein shakes a day. That and/or start taking SARMS.

It was only $42 to walk it on a weekend. I’ll make the 1.5hr drive for that anytime for a great track and getting the round in at 4hrs. If you find Callaways, just thank me...I sprayed several of them OB.

Played Crumpin Fox. Wish i hadn’t. Had a stretch of 5 pars in a row on the back but other than that, it was a struggle. 47/43.

Struggled at Unionvale on Saturday. Of course I was crushing it off the tee (usually my weakest part of my game) but struggled with my irons (usually my strongest part of my game). Putted ok. Just never got into the groove. Signed a 47/42 scorecard. Meh.

Big John Daily-esque

All about the hips.

Just make it snow a lot. It’s pathetic when winter feels like spring and spring feels like winter.

That’s a good deal. Enjoy your round. Paid 50 today to walk.. but I always like to walk it.

If we can combine our games, we’d be scratch golfers ha. Had 33 putts today, pretty decent.

41/41 at Wintonbury Hilllls. Struggled off the tee a bit again. If I can fix that, I’ll start breaking 80 this season.

Well the last two winters were Nino’s, right?, so it can’t get any worse.

Yea, 300 is maxed out. 275ish is a reasonable drive for a decent amateur though. Wind, elevation, firmness...all factors.

I’m around 280-300 depending on a variety of factors. I just don’t use my driver often cuz I hit my 3W more consistently straight in the 250 range and I’m rarely playing off the tips to need the extra yardage anyway.

Subscribe to this guys channel. A lot of good stuff. Here’s a driving video to stop slicing:

Duck hooks are usually the result of being too ‘handsy’. Work on getting your weight shifted to the front side and let the hands follow/trail. The body will take care of the hands.

Nice playing gents. There’s been great weather for it but I’ve been caught between outdoor projects and work. I did play last Thur at Wintonbuy Hills. Love the layout and played solo off an 11am tee time. So I Played two balls but only kept score on my 1st. Struggled to find my swing on the front but found it on the back. 47/40. Will probably play it again next week. Enjoy the PGA this weekend. A much needed return.

I love Fox Hop. I have off Thur and Fri next week. Fri looks like the better day so if anyone is down to play just let me know by Tuesday so I can book it on GolfNow. Otherwise, I’ll head up to Winton Hills in Bloomfield instead, shorter drive if playing solo.

CT National in Putnam is a good track too.

It’s 1hr30min for me so that’s good enough. Like Steve says, Thompson has a nice course plus another private one that @powderfreak mentioned a couple weeks back that are offering tee times to the public now. Whatever works.

That’s the idea. I think ECT/RI border is less than a 2hr drive for you?

I’ll even make the drive to ECT/RI border if someone from EMA is down to play.

Anyone down for Wintonbury Hills in Bloomfield CT next Thur or Fri? Great course...
