The golf thread...

I think I only had one three putt.

What ball is everyone playing nowadays?

I made the “5witch” when the new TaylorMade TP5x came out. I liked them at first, but have recently switched back to the ProV1x. I buy the practice version though. Which is the same exact ball, but sometimes will have a cosmetic blemish. They are typically the prior generation, which is completely fine with me. And at $30/dozen, you can’t beat it. 

I use ProVI's. Golf gloves I use Foot Joy but they are getting harder to find so I also use Nike gloves but they don't wear as well as the Foot Joy's.

What are your favorite courses in the Newark area? I'm coming up this weekend and planning on playing Saturday. I've played several, but it's been a few years. I think I played Longaberger 2 years ago, and Raccoon about 6-7 years ago. The rest have been a decade or more.

ProV1 or Callaway. Don’t really use anything but those two.

Booked a tee time at the Trout Club for the morning. I haven't played there in 17-18 years.

Try out Denison, I’ve heard it’s great. Also, not really Newark, but Cumberland Trail in Pataskala is a great track. 

Had this sent to me. I was off on my numbers. He didn’t shoot as good as I thought but actually walked/carried more holes than I thought.

Not sure if it will post in readable form. This was my grandpa.

Ha, that's pretty cool.

Yeah, the Denison course looks nice. I might try it the next time I'm in town.

Played 100 holes with 1 ball...favorite part lol that’s silly

I doubt I could play that many holes of putt putt without losing a ball.

I like The links at echo Springs,Cumberland Trails,Denison,Trout Club and Raccoon. Once a year I will splurg and play Virtues(Longaberger0

Trout Club has had some improvements mostly the club house and they have opened up the restaurant. The course has been improved and is in good shape. Some improvements are that big bush that was right in the middle of #1 fairway has been removed and they removed a lot of the bushes down the left side of fairway on #9.

One practice swing, address ball, hit ball. Unfortunately, whether you have a cart or not, if you have dawdlers ahead of you, you ain't going anywhere...imo, there's nothing more frustrating during a round of golf than waiting, on each and every shot. Nothing.

That's what sucks about playing up north this time of year. I absolutely love Treetops and Shanty Creek but god damn is it slow. 

IMO it's fine if you take your time on shots as long as you don't fuck around getting out of the cart and getting to the ball

Sank my 3rd shot from 112 yards this morning for a bird. Best shot of my life. Had another great shot from 155 out, put it a foot from the hole and easily took another birdie.

Score?

Played yesterday in Reynoldsburg (a municipal course).  Shot a 91.  2nd time out in 2 years, so I'm happy.  Sliced the shit out of it, lost about 6-7 balls, terrible putting.  Amazing how many strokes you give back to the course.

Blacklick Woods?

Yes.  I liked the course.  In rough shape, but I liked the layout.  Not tough, but not easy either.

Score?

90-something. Too many 8's killed my score.
