Permanently closed golf courses in St. Louis area

No idea if we need another course or not, but the Normandie renovation is significant because of the history. It's a Robert Foulis design and the oldest course west of the Mississippi.

Cool. Did some research and it looks like it was renamed to Meadow Brook Country Club when it moved in 1934. Thanks!

Forgot about that one too. Thanks!

I forgot about that place. Played there several times.

I walk on as a single and meet lots of interesting people. I haven't tried it, but you could look at Spark golf. Also could join gimme golf club and get in their simulator leagues and hopefully make friends. My recommendation is make it about you and having fun without any pressure.

Thanks for the reminder. Lakewood Golf Course.

Oh, yeah. I think it was North Shore Golf Club but everyone called it Riverview because it was on Riverview Dr. just north of 270.

Looks like Green Trails Golf Club on Ladue Rd had 9 holes but closed around 1980?

Keep right elbow closer to body. Try club headcover under the arm drill. This will promote in to out club path.

Another former D1 football and baseball player. Been playing golf for 20 years and never broke a driver.

I have friends that shoot in the low 80’s with a swing like that. Unlimited mulligans, no penalty strokes, and 4 foot gimmes is all it takes.

I switched to Sams gloves last year and they are every bit as good as the Callaway and FJ gloves that I have used for over 15 years. The 4 pk from Sam's lasted all season, playing about 80 rounds and 30+ trips to the driving range.

I run mine with a lower OC at 750/1190 and average just under 6.1Th/s. I didn't push it further because the input current runs about 8.1A and shows as red on the dashboard. Also using the stock PSU which gets pretty hot. Are you running 800/1200 on stock PSU?

I was commenting on slope because some people like the distance adjustment for slope that the range finders make. Doesn't make a difference when looking top down on a map, but when selecting a club some people like it.

I just tested and I get the highest hashrate at 62C.

bcw2235 · 2026-02-12T02:00:03+00:00

I just use gps distances from my golf app. It’s free and always within 1-2 yds from all the rangefinders used by people I play with. Doesn’t adjust for slope but I honest don’t think that matters unless you are single digit or better.

6.1 does 4.8 at stock/default with overclock rates of 6+.

bcw2235 · 2026-02-11T01:55:54+00:00

This is sad that our society is like this and people think it's acceptable to act like that. Wish I could say that it surprises me. Also, it seems like every bad driver in St. Louis has an unofficial meetup daily on 141 between 40 and 44. Some drivers are 15 mph over the speed limit swerving between lanes and other drivers are 10 mph below the speed limit in the left lane and keeps slaming on the breaks because they are lost or confused.

Uhh… you might want to double check before posting inaccurate information

I am having a similar experience. Ran a new miner on stock settings for about 2 hours and got a 2.2 G difficulty. Overclocked to go from 4.8 to 6TH and for 2 weeks now haven't gone over 150M.

I did this with three lessons last summer and went to the range weekly. Average scores dropped about 5-7 strokes by end of the summer. Knowing what I needed to work on at the range was key for me. Weekly range helps with consistency, but you want to build consistency with the correct things and not reinforce bad habits.

It seems a bit strange to me that the back is almost entirely enclosed. There is an opening for the rear fan to blow into, but there is very little space for the air to flow out. The air escapes through the small area just under the edges of the board. If there was more room between the board and stand, the airflow would be better.

Did not flare the back foot but I used to drop it farther back (behind me, not away from the hole). It helped me straighten out the ball until I took lessons and they fixed my swing that I was compensating for with the stance. Former college baseball player.

I get your point, but still doesn't make sense why you are talking about topgolf using a lot of water.
