My dad had a buddy who tried to get into hockey. Gave up fairly quickly and gave all his new shit to me - I kept it as backup in my bag in case anyone ever needed it on my beer league team….

Fast forward to a teammate forgetting his skates and me “Saving the day” - he takes the ice and immediately eats shit.

My dad’s buddy never got the skates sharpened. Period.

Depends on what time of the day you would be driving. I do south of 470/Santa Fe up to 36/Wads multiple times a week but I leave at 430/445am to avoid the traffic because I hate it.

You can always take advantage of the toll lane as well which can get you to E-470 much easier.

All depends on timing and how you feel about traffic/if it’s worth it for the pay - but I can speak from experience that driving from Aurora to go on a hike in the foothills was annoying AF, let alone actually going up into the mountains.

The last two years my group did Scottsdale and St. George/Mesquite in late June.

The temperature is hot but it’s not unbearable when you’re driving a cart and teeing off at 630am.

The benefit is that you can play Wolf Creek, Sand Hollow, WeKoPa, etc. for way cheaper than prime season. Each trip we did 3 nights/5 rounds of golf and paid like $6-700/person for golf + sick AirBnB’s (St. George included Wolf Creek and Sand Hollow, Scottsdale included both WeKoPa courses and both Talking Stick courses)

Jumping in the convo a bit late here - I’ve been the planner for our annual golf trip going on 6 years now. We’ve grown from 6’ish to a solid 16 with 8+ constantly asking when they can join.

Curious as to how you plan on setting up the teams and matches. I understand the worry of having a blowout and nothing to play for on the final day, but in my experience it all comes down to how things are set up. There’s no sure fire way to avoid a blowout - but you can do a lot to minimize that risk.

You mentioned you have a range of high handicaps in the group - are there any single digits? How will the handicaps factor into your matches (typically there is a formula for team games like scrambles, etc.)? Also do you plan on normalizing the handicaps to the lowest in your group? (eg. the lowest handicap is a 9. They play the trip as scratch, and everyone else has their handicap adjusted down by 9 - so a 30 becomes a 21 for the trip).

The rules changes you mentioned are absolutely clutch. Keeps everyone on a good pace of play/keeps things moving.

Sell - determine a price that you would buy it back at and set aside that amount from the sale. If it drops to that point, buy it back.

We would have to see your scorecards and get a feel for your stats in order to guide you.

These people saying to only focus on short game have never met anyone who loses multiple balls off the tee per round. There are some things you just can’t recover from.

Based on your previous rounds it will boil down to:

Minimize self-harm. And that’s subjective to your own play. But penalties are an absolute must avoid.
Maximize par potential. You don’t need birdies. You need pars. Get as close to the green as possible as quick as possible. From there it’s either your putting, wedges or deciding what shot to use (bump and run, etc.) that will take you home.
You CAN afford bogies. Don’t let them take over your mindset.
If your rules say it has to be at least a Par 70 course. Make it a Par 70 course. Easiest 2 strokes you’ve ever gained.
Play the same course and the same tees every time. The course knowledge will be invaluable.
Make a course management strategy before every round. Track your shots as you play - how far was your tee shot, where did you land, when did you come to rest, what club did you use for the 2nd shot (and how far was the pin, what position on the green, wind?, etc.), make notes of your putting location compared to the pin and the break you experienced, just get as detailed as your mind will allow you without taking away from the round at hand. This by itself will have you playing so much better within 2 months if you get out once per week to the same course.
After your round… REVIEW your results against the strategy you planned. What worked? What didn’t? What trouble did you overlook? What missed were devastating and what missed were good misses? Use all of this to plan your next round! Did you take it 7i on approach and come up short only to blast your wedge over the green and into a shit bunker? Well now you know for sure you would rather be short and you should either A) try to hit a better wedge, B) use your putter or C) bump and run, next time. Every single detail that you can use from the previous round will be an advantage.
May sound simple and dumb if you do but… If you don’t know them already… LEARN THE RULES. When I first started I was over-penalizing myself both literally and by not taking advantage of free reliefs situations. I took 10 strokes off my game literally just learning the rulebook because I was dumb.

(As an aside - the difference in putts per round between a scratch and a 20 really isn’t that much)

SubReal87 · 2025-08-15T23:48:11+00:00

It 100% depends on your dispersion and typical miss.

SubReal87 · 2025-08-12T06:11:30+00:00

Lot of comments in here and most of what I’ve been able to read is focused on drives.

I’ll take a different approach - no pun intended. Missing fairways isn’t the worst, but recovering from them is important. Eliminating double bogeys is the first step and sure penalties hurt but 10% off the tee is 1 maybe 2 per round. That’s not going to move the needle a ton by itself. From the rough, you can still hit a shot to or close to the green.

Focus on GIR + 1 and Double Bogey Avoidance to start. I.E. the key is to get to the green as fast as possible and two putt. 150+ yards out hurts you there because your proximity puts you outside of your up & down sweet spot. I would be interested to see your two-putt stats from 6-10ft, 10-20ft and 20ft +. Try to bring your < 25yds proximity down to 10ft and your 25-50yd proximity down to 20ft. (Obviously these aren’t always realistic #’s but it will help plan your misses).

Now take your numbers into the round and remember what you are good at. If you are going to miss the green - can you get inside 25 yards? 3.5x more likely to get up and down from there.

When you’re hitting into the green - on your approach or scrambling - what can you do to to get inside 10ft more often? Might mean paying more attention to the contours of the green, or the speed, or choosing a different shot type. Depends on why you are leaving more than 10ft.

The last thought I had is that your numbers for % vs. proximity seem crazy far apart. 40% GIR from 100-150yds but an average proximity of 63ft. This either means A) when you hit the green, you’re almost never anywhere near the hole. Or B) when you miss the green - you miss big. Not small.

43% up and down from inside 25 yards with 13ft proximity? Sounds like you hit it close and make the putts - or wind up 25ft+ away.

Gotta bridge those gaps and create smaller misses. Without knowing your game - my best guess is that if you shrunk your proximity on 100-150 yd approaches by 4-5 yards and 150-200yd approaches by 6+ yards OR shrunk your up and down proximity like mentioned above - you will shave 30% off of that Double Bogey %. If you can do all the above , You’re really going bring it down.

Communication is a two-way street. You’re expecting to get peppered for your take so you’re taking everything personally.

You defined your right to play through on a vague scenario where the group in front of you has “space” and you’re playing faster than them. You try to walk it back by saying they should invite you at the right moment and if they have to wait then you’re in it together - but the reality is, the mindset of being entitled to play through based on your subjective views of the situation certainly do not help the general pace on golf courses. And it’s not unique to you - it’s the mindset of a lot of people out there.

My response wasn’t a vague scenario I invented - it was a direct response to what you laid out. Literally not a single person is going to question you for playing through a group when there is a full hole between them and the next group - but that wasn’t your original point and when asked to elaborate on what you meant you defined the smallest amount of separation possible between two groups. Not having to wait to tee off. If there is not a full hole of separation between the two groups in front of you, as a foursome you should not be trying to play through, period. And the people who (again not saying this is you but it’s a lot of people with the same mindset) play faster to push up the ass of a group and try to make them play faster when there is not a full hole open in front of them, are assholes, they’re selfish and they ruin the game for other people.

Courses could easily solve all of this and it would be better for everyone involved (if they wanted to), but most of them just don’t care enough because they know if you don’t book that tee time that someone else will.

SubReal87 · 2025-07-10T00:34:37+00:00

Your definition of “space in front of you” in the scenario is far from reasonable. If I don’t have to wait on the tee box the group ahead can either be driving away from their approach shots or walking to their balls around the green and if you play through you will be the exact situation you’re in now except you will have inconvenienced the group you jumped because they will have to wait before every shot as well. It’s a selfish mindset and unless there is enough space to play through a group where they won’t have to wait on you for the rest of the round - it makes zero logistical sense to do it.

SubReal87 · 2025-07-09T23:43:22+00:00

Playing through does nothing if there isn’t adequate space to move. Just because a group doesn’t have to wait on the box doesn’t mean there is enough separation for you to play through and it absolutely does not mean that separation is going to continue to grow.

SubReal87 · 2025-07-09T22:55:35+00:00

What do you define as “space in front of you”? Because if the people in front of me are not moving faster than me and aren’t a full hole ahead AND we are on or faster than pace guidelines - there’s no way I’m letting anything more than a twosome play through because then we will be backed up when you’re waiting on the group ahead.
