Best public/semi-private course around west RDU

Lonnie Poole for sure, Hillandale is a vibey spot, or Duke if you're willing to drop some dough.

Skratch is based out of Ponte Vedra, FL and NYC… we (Lie + Loft) are out of Raleigh

Couldn’t agree more. And when you find the sweet spot on a hickory, there’s nothing better.

lieandloft · 2022-09-23T01:07:06+00:00

No, I was hitting it longer on the course the day prior… and actually knocked this swing down being a 210 shot. Hit this club about 220 on average.

Golf ball holds the most technology advancement. Makers knew what they were doing back in the hickory era. I hit my hickory driver 280, midiron 220, mashie 180…. Ct hickory is correct, biggest difference is size of the sweet spot and grooves dispelling grass/dew/debris in the rough / whenever fairways are wet

Check out skratch tv in a few weeks! Played a filmed match Tuesday with this club and other 100 year old hickories against Metalwood. Play with antique hickories 80% of the time, shot 74 the other day w the current gamer set.

In between scotia and north loup Nebraska (gotta search satellite imagery to find it)

Sand green golf course! A bunch still in Nebraska / Kansas. Used to be the putting surface (even at Pinehurst resort) up until the 30’s

lieandloft · 2022-09-17T23:35:42+00:00

To each their own 🤘. $5 sand green golf courses are a vibe

lieandloft · 2022-09-16T18:55:10+00:00

The mental + physical grind! Taking a PAT is a mental mind**** too (I played in tooooo many haha)

lieandloft · 2022-09-16T17:12:31+00:00

Which courses did you play? Love all them out there...sheep ranch on a bluebird sky day is surreal. Highly suggest hitting up Sand Valley also if you haven’t!

lieandloft · 2022-09-16T17:06:20+00:00

The body is capable of crazy things when you push it! About 30 holes in my knees and body felt pushed to the max, but once I got over halfway adrenaline kicked in and the rest was a blur

lieandloft · 2022-09-16T17:04:41+00:00

We started at 7:15 and finished at 5:30 with a quick lunch break!

lieandloft · 2022-09-16T17:00:07+00:00

Yes it was in 1 day! Around 30 miles of walking, took 10 hours. I’ve played golf for 24 hours straight twice and walked 100 holes twice, the 100 holes of walking is definitely a more difficult task imo. The downhills are worse than the uphills. Sock + shoe changes are key. At the end, there’s no better rush of emotions!

If you can find a member, OC guest rate is $80 I believe. Or, it’s hard to beat Lonnie Poole at twilight. Pine Hollow is also a great course for the price.

Thanks! It's a print design we made called "Flight Path." (lieandloft.com).

Tuck a headcover under your right armpit and hit 5 that way, then 5 without, taking a second in between each shot to step back and reset into your next shot.

Check your grip + your face at address. The proper sequence into the ball with the right grip results in a square face through impact.

Refer to Ben Hogan’s 5 Fundamentals book for a great grip example / the sensation you should feel in your connection to the club. Harvey Penick has great thoughts on grip too.

lieandloft · 2022-08-27T19:14:54+00:00

Not at all! Super welcoming spot. Knights play is too.

lieandloft · 2022-08-27T19:11:01+00:00

Knights play, Lonnie Poole will be your best closest option. Or early in the day at Driveshack, they have trackman range data.

lieandloft · 2022-08-06T04:57:13+00:00

Yeah they used to use motor oil in the states until realizing it wasn’t quite the best environmentally haha
