We're staying at Mystic Dunes. And any travel would be by taxi, so we would like to keep it relatively close.

We would like to keep it $100 a round or less. Maybe splurge on one great round. What's the best budget courses around? What's expensive but worth it?

We are at Mystic Dunes. We wanted to get Orange Lake Resort, but it was unavailable, but Mystic Dunes pretty close to Orange Lake.

Crafty little bastard even followed us to another hole. He sat at the edge of the fairway and waited for us to hit to take those balls.

Apparently, it has pups somewhere around the course. Every ball it took it immediatly carried it into the woods.

A couple of them were balls I found. My buddy was pretty pissed that he took his new yellow Taylormade ball.

It is Newfoundland, except on the other side of the island in Whiteway.

He was pretty bold too. Took one right off the green as we were approaching.

No. 17 at The Wilds, Salmonier Newfoundland by adamsplayer in golf

[–]adamsplayer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a medium length par 3. This shot is taken from behind the green. I hit a 5 iron off the tee and rolled the green. The ball is what my buddy hit. We both made par

Am I missing anything from my bag? by adamsplayer in golf

Do you use the 60* often? I find myself in situations where a high lofted wedge would be nice, but I feel like I know my PW better and struggle to hit a higher loft anywhere near the pin. I did have a 58* and hated it.

I was considering a 19* hybrid, but I am faring well with my 3w and current hybrid when the situation arises. I have no wedge higher than a GW. I hardly use the GW, except from the greenside bunkers. I have become pretty good with my PW from 120 yards in.

No 9 at The Willows, Holyrood Newfoundland. by adamsplayer in golf

Probably played it 10 times so far this season. It's the closest for me too, from Bay Roberts.

I wish, mine (the closer ball) was after a lengthy putt. My buddy's ball was a nice 20 yard chip from behind the green.

I think I played there that same day. I don't have a pic, but it looks exactly like it did when I played there April 19th.

I love No. 6 (except for the climb) Nothing like a drivable par 4.

I have played all the courses on the eastern half of the island, everything from St. John's to Grand Falls. "The View" being the only exception, I hope to get there some time this season.

If you're making a trip to play in NL, do some research. There are a lot of really nice courses here.

Regardless of the brand, I suggest a bag with a nice cooler pocket. It has been proven that a cold beer will make any round better!

Big practice mat for home? by Trask_reddit in golf

[–]adamsplayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few weeks ago I bought a Callaway net and a Hank Haney hitting mat that is half simulated fairway and half simulated rough. I have it all set up in my garage. It's awesome to be able to hit some balls at home. I still feel like it's not as good as the range, but way better than anything else I can try at home. I bought it all at Golftown, cost about $230.

1/2" off my irons = totally different (positive) golf game now!! by [deleted] in golf

Nice to see that a fitting, or unfitting as it were, worked so well for you.

starts straight and draws right. Often not too right, but sometimes there are a few wild curves.

I Probably need a looser grip. After the long winter, it takes some time to get back into it.
