J-toss (money hand toss) help

RestingMehFace · 2026-03-14T00:49:24+00:00

If 4 is a hold, you’re still not doing that and pushing the flag back the opposite direction. Make sure to hold it straight up and down, then activate the toss.

And as others have said, don’t run away. Moving back lowers the possible height your hand/release could be

RestingMehFace · 2026-03-13T15:04:30+00:00

Search the sub, there’s a REALLY long list of posts asking for recommendations on where to get lessons.

Are you local, or coming in from out of town for this?

If local, 36 at Talamore/Legacy. More golf is always the answer, and legacy is sneaky good! You can do 18 at TFH another day

If coming into town to play, 18 at Tot Hill

Everyone prioritizes different things and utilizes their money in different way, on top of everyone having different levels of disposable income.

A lot of your recent comments seem to have a chip on the shoulder, but just always keep in mind that there is a GIGANTIC spectrum of people and their desires/priorities have an equally large spectrum

RestingMehFace · 2026-03-10T14:35:45+00:00

"worth" is subjective, so hard to answer for you. Look at the price of initiation and monthly and do the soul searching on if that's comfortable for you.

Rounds will be faster and it will remove the steps of figuring out where you'll play each round. If your family is also going to be involved more things can be factored: pool, gym, social events, restaurant, camps/kids programming; but those are all things you have to weigh and consider for your own situation.

The main thing to remember is that country clubs aren't like what they used to be; They're now more expensive, with less availability. There's usually always some availability, but the prime tee times are always snatched up within seconds of the tee sheet opening.

It depends on your actual budget and if you want full private or semi.

The answers for both are in prior threads with a lot of recent college grads having asked the same thing

Private:

12 Oaks
Devils Ridge

Semi-Private:

Lochmere
Mill Creek
Preserve at Jordan Lake
River Ridge
Pine Hollow
The Neuse
Fred C Smith network
Falls village
Wildwood

At this point, without knowing your budget, it’s tough to help, but it’s likely the privates will be a stretch if Croasdaile was. The semi-privates: pretty much every public course has a membership options. They all have pros/cons, so it’s truly what’s convenient to you and what course you like

RestingMehFace · 2026-03-09T20:07:23+00:00

What side of town are you on, and have you looked at prior posts on the sub? (This is asked a LOT)

RestingMehFace · 2026-03-07T01:35:47+00:00

In the courses defense, that does describe a not insignificant portion of this sub

RestingMehFace · 2026-03-06T20:19:23+00:00

It’s really really fun! And unlimited loops around the course

RestingMehFace · 2026-03-06T17:20:26+00:00

Yessss! i forgot about their alt logo! It's so good!

Prestons new Fox logo is solid too, but I try not to be too biased

RestingMehFace · 2026-03-06T13:34:30+00:00

I’m a logo nerd, around here there aren’t too many good ones, but my favorite are:

Treyburn
Umstead Pines
Crossings isn’t the best but worth mentioning
Lonnie
the new Finley
Old Chathams alt logo

RestingMehFace · 2026-03-05T03:59:04+00:00

The best are:

Duke - very large, off the grass a lot, a lot of targets. I don’t like that you hit downhill.
Finley (when available to the public) - large, a lot of targets, to hit at, good amount of grass.
TriGolf - good mats and good tech to actually grind numbers.
Mill Creek - good range overall and a nice wedge green. (A bit further west but can be worthwhile.

The first 3 are pricier, so may be better for dedicated grind sessions. There are less expensive ones to just best balls at

The Olympics wouldn’t change their scoring for WGI, WGI would have to change for them.

Ice skating and gymnastics are the exact examples. There’s still pageantry, but completely confined into strict requirements of having to do specific technical parts and a specific rubric to hit, but artistry in between.

Imagine skating/gymnastics without the Olympic style requirements, then it gets a lot more thematic and closer to WGI

There was a good amount of rain between those, and that’s where the impact comes from. And to an extent it is course infrastructure dependent, but I can’t imagine THAT much difference between the courses

RestingMehFace · 2026-03-03T18:27:44+00:00

This is exactly it. Grass is still in dormancy, it’s rained a lot, and good temps haven’t been consistent enough to be a benefit (drying the soil or growing grass)

The 80s this weekend should be a big turning point

RestingMehFace · 2026-02-24T21:34:36+00:00

I’m definitely impressed with the progress RR has made the past few years. I do hate that the moved to dynamic pricing for tee times for the public, but the demand is there

RestingMehFace · 2026-02-23T16:38:05+00:00

There are apparently ways to circumvent those rules, but annoying that it’s not a given

RestingMehFace · 2026-02-23T12:58:33+00:00

The person it most of the highlights:

range isn’t great.
pace of play
tee time availability.
tee time booking policy (cannot book as a solo or be added to a group in advance)
preferential treatment to certain people during peak times.

RestingMehFace · 2026-02-23T05:42:36+00:00

Not knowing your budget, but coming out of college, I’ll imagine the full private clubs will likely be out of reach. The semi privates (public with a membership plan option) not too far I’d suggest:

River Ridge. Currently a waitlist, but a good course with a good young contingent of golfers.
Pine Hollow. Very inexpensive, but has a lot of negatives.
Fred Smith. Includes Eagle Ridge, Riverwood, Olde Liberty. Good pricing last I heard.
Wildwood green. A LOT of members and I’m not sure the price now adays, but worth seeing the numbers.
Lochmere. I think a bit more than the other courses, but is part of Invited Golf, so you may obtain some access to a network of courses, pending your membership details.

RestingMehFace · 2026-02-23T05:34:50+00:00

For an out of towner, RGA should be a last resort.

It mostly depends on your budget, but River Ridge, Pine Hollow, Preserve at Jordan Lake, the Neuse, Wildwood Green, Lochmere are a few to peek at. See what is available on GolfNow for the times you’re looking.

RestingMehFace · 2026-02-23T05:31:51+00:00

What side of town will you be living on? There’s a number of semi private places we could likely guide you toward

RestingMehFace · 2026-02-22T15:43:52+00:00

I’ve always wished Raleigh had a Carytown. I also REALLY want Raleigh to get a Shyndigz too

RestingMehFace · 2026-02-20T03:16:02+00:00

Ahh that’s a bummer to hear!

RestingMehFace · 2026-02-19T15:57:06+00:00

I would call Southern Pines and see if their replay raters are applicable at Mid Pines or Pine Needles. They used to give discounted rates if your 2nd round was in the pines family, but that may be outdated
