Driver and irons have been clicking as the season winds down. Decided to play a couple of holes from the Tiger tees. It's tough crushing your drive and barely making it to the fairway with 300yds uphill to the pin.

It's a lot easier when no one is around. Altho there was a group I had to hit over on the par3 green as it passed the over them, the brook, girls at the candy shack, the normal tees, tall grass field, rough and then fairway. If there was a crowd I'd probably top it and kill the people below me

Haha. Was that your choice or somebody else in your group?
I played a course in Pennsylvania today called Rich Valley. Played with my FIL, so we both played the gold tees (seniors). I had a great round, but it is just now occurring to me that one of the reasons might be the shorter yardarge. Derp.
Pic below is the old guy - 82. He's not your average old guy. I beat him by 5 strokes, but on another day he'd beat me.
Mine. It's after the par 3 which is 270 yds to clear the water from the Tiger Tees. I'm not dumb to pull it out on that one. No way!

Man, I love his setup here.

I have played the grand total of one round over the last few months, it was at the Machrihanish golf club which has a great opening hole. The whole course is good though, if you like links. The less said about my score the better
opening hole view - you have to hit over the atlantic ocean if you want a decent approach

Haha, I can picture myself hitting off the beach! Great hole.

Some good scrambling on the back tees for the signature par 3's on an old Donald Ross course. This one over the estuary missing the green but a good chip and putt for par.
Probably have sent the same picture over and over again but everytime they're so different and beautiful. Beautiful fall day at sea level. Crisp air and the smell of fireplaces in the air. Temp was around 54° with a breeze from the ocean but the sun warmed ya.
And a couple of shots from the other side of the Atlantic where my balls will eventually make it to @Hanglow

Did you hit em at the River this summer? Can’t say I remember any pics but if that weather was today it looks like we should have done a spot open today to get some play!
Unfortunately not. Summer kind of ended quick and a startup I work at let's just say had some trouble.
They still get nice warm days like yesterday up there but with clear blue skies they get frost quick and usually close down soon. When I went up to Sugarloaf last year day temps were 60 but at night in the 20's. No frost delays tho but the days are also short and golfers slim.
This place is on the ocean close to Portsmouth NH. So as the frost hits where I live they stay open due to the "warmness" of the ocean for like another month. Plus good scenery, food and beer in town. Hit a special beer release of Mott the Lessor after my round. Again, beautiful day

Hit 18 at Dunedin Golf Club this morning. Driver really woke up, pretty awesome.
Hitting greens missing birdie putts.
Last pic is the tiger tees I talked about before. It's off the side of #8 tees. Hitting over #16 and the fairway goes off to the right finishing up a steep hill 530 yards away

What a couple days dude, nice! Super jealous. Cant quite tell where some of those go. That back tee with the dog right looks like a miserable shot. Is it as tough as it looks?
Oh yea! #9 is a 535 yd par 4. It's a dog leg with a 2 club shot uphill at the end. 260yds to make it to the fairway to the right of the grill (white building) I'm a lefty so I aim at that and try to draw it to get the distance and run of the dog leg. I don't know why I try the draw. There's still no way I can get on in two. I was on a birdie streak. The pic below is the #8 tee to the right of the #9 tiger tee. Came very close to driving the green. There's a causeway and the green is to the left of the fountain.
The first two pix is a par 3. You don't want to land on the left shelf where I landed but I took extra club on the long cold yardage. There's a false front that is east to go off the green. If you look close the moon is in between the clouds

Bad picture with the water tower back there, but this par 3 is pretty sweet. There's a nasty hazard right in front of it, and left and right and behind. I ended up in the drop area

Dont encourage him, cant take any more. ^^ Enjoyed the review btw, thanks.
The deal round here is out again, 3 years for 300, unlimited, in. Some time restrictions but so. Only problem is late is best to play for speed. 5 hour rounds at the 1pm weekend time for sure.

That's a good deal especially if you get to use the driving range. Im the same way. I play almost twice as much since I've been able to play late in the afternoon. Having an online tee sheet also helps to see how busy it is. We have a cold snap heading in on the end of the week. I think my season is about to end.

^^when it ends up there, is it over? Here we play through winter with a heater and cart cover. Its the best. Quick rounds and open courses and cheap times. The days where its like a ping pong table suck. I try to play the conditions, my friend likes to ricochet shots off the middle of the green into impossible places. Haha, I hate playing well in the winter usually it means short miss hits worked out. Good shot go flying.

Hell ya. Only on here, sun shining 46 and no wind. Got cart, thinking 2 hr 30 min

Dammit!
I do like seeing where people are playing!
Sadly no playing for me for quite a while, just snapped my patella tendon this week so golf is off the menu. At least it's almost winter time so most courses tend to be pretty wet with winter greens and tees, I'll just tell myself I'm not missing much!

Damn! I work compressed shifts. Literally could make my money in 4 weeks at a public course.
Ouch! Heal up. I have a blown ACL never fixed. Doesn't bother me too much golfing. Only if I kick the bags.

No game today. Beautiful out there, just no game at all. Stayed out 4 hours looping around on back. Played a bunch of holes.
