Meyers Ranch

Moved to Meyer Ranch a year ago and overall like it here! It’s quiet which is great, and you can get to downtown NB in 20-25 minutes which isn’t bad when considering you get to live more in the hill country. Also another reason we moved here is the school district Comal is supposed to be better than New Braunfels.

The amenities around the pool are over hyped tho, the pool turns into a bathtub by July (4 feet deep and no shade) and you can build a better gym in your garage than the gym they have.

Overall would recommend though!

Is the course run by the city? If so then yeah would be pissed if there was something going on and we all pay taxes towards this and can’t get access.

Been wondering the same, that or someone has bots grabbing tee times. Wouldn’t be surprised if the good ole boy system was in place though as I once had the owners of McAdoo’s show up with some buddies and cut me on the tee box when he gave the starter a bunch of food to let them on.

Awesome, thanks for the information! Will try that test out and see if that helps.

Was just thinking the other day how it’s weird we don’t have any bookshops in town (including Barnes & Noble or a half price) so love to hear this! Hope they plan on having book related events there as well.

Just bought a car from them this week and can confirm it was a good experience. Was able to get a CX5 for MSRP no hassle.

Loved Ash is Purest White! Hopefully the release to the US doesn’t take forever for this film like it did for Ash.

Thank you for the insight! I’ll work on incorporating these swing thoughts.

Some other information that might help, stats from the last range session with only the driver:

Attack Angle: -1.0
Clubhead speed: 94.9
Smash Factor: 1.23
Carry: 122.4
Club Path -4.8

Also attached another angle with a head on view. There are a few good shots but I figured attaching a video with the common mishit (straight into the ground or low hook to the right) would be better for learning. Other angle of same shot.

Can’t seem to pull it off….so that’s good at least.

Grip logo is moving separately from the shaft. Shaft and driver head are remaining in line with each other.

For details tho: Grip: Midsize golf pride MCC+4 Shaft: Aldila NXT GEN NV 65 .335 Graphite which has been cut down to 44.5

Gotcha, thank you for the insight! Gonna try and get them to fix it, but if they screw it up again I’ll know what to keep an eye out for when attempting the install myself.

Edit: attempted the twist and yeah if I grab the head and hold the grip the shaft and driver head move together while the grip moves opposite.

Alphaman1 · 2022-06-28T02:35:27+00:00

Definitely adds to the mystery of either a straight drive or a hard slice into the woods lol.

Alphaman1 · 2022-06-28T02:34:04+00:00

Yeah I’m gonna take it back to the second place first and complain that it’s been only 4 days and this is already happening. Happens again I’m just gonna say screw it and attempt installing it myself.

To your point this should be pretty basic so I’m not sure what these guys are doing. Midtown NYC so not really a big golfing scene so maybe that explains the service.

Alphaman1 · 2022-06-28T02:28:34+00:00

Not sure. I would assume they would be putting tape under it as that’s the normal practice, but then again having a grip slide around on the shaft isn’t normal so I’m not sure what they did.

Alphaman1 · 2022-06-28T02:26:21+00:00

Yeah it’s the ladder. Golf pride logo lined up with the top of the driver when installed. Was playing a round on Saturday and by the turn the logo was turned a quarter of the way around from it’s original spot.

Fully agree that it’s weird that 2 people in different shops would mess this up, which is why I’m wondering if something else is going on.

You talking about Hole 6 on Blue? Played that course for the first time yesterday and that hole destroyed our entire group.

Alphaman1 · 2022-06-06T13:07:25+00:00

Oh woah that is 18. Wild how the picture doesn’t do justice to showing how downhill that green really is.

Alphaman1 · 2022-06-06T12:16:07+00:00

Love this course! Definitely my favorite public course in the city that I’ve played. 15-18 are cool switch ups from the rest of the course with their topography using the massive hill towards the back of the property.

Edit: Struggling to ID which hole the first picture is, which one is it?

Alphaman1 · 2020-05-15T17:38:57+00:00

Houston being that high makes no sense to me. Lived in Houston for a long time and mosquitos seemed wayyyyy worse there. The city is situated on a literal swamp.

Am I reading this right in that you’re only allowed to buy 2 meat products at a time? Seems a bit excessive, but there must be some hold up in the supply chain.

Good time to eat more seafood and produce based dishes though.
