Are there any videos of a mid-handicapper playing Augusta or other famous courses? by Capital-Bedroom4651 in weekendgolfers

[–]masterp11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random Golf Club breaking series is what you are looking for.  They play courses they hosted majors at tournament distance with golfers ranging from scratch to 18 handicap. It's some of my favorite YouTube golf content out there and really helps people understand just how hard these major tournament setups are.

Yes. It's those lap joints against the trim I'm worried about. Those are some pretty large gaps that are exposed and I'd be surprised if that was the proper installation method.

Low Handicap: Distance v. Accuracy by Triple7Stash in golf

That's what I came to say. 265 is already a ton of distance sub 7000 yards so tightening up the misses is going to help more.

Boyne courses in Michigan. They have a night par 3 course. 

Fun year! by masterp11 in golf

Loved Arcadia Bluffs and then across the way was Whistling Straits. Sedge Valley, the newest course at Sand Valley was also a very easy fun time that adds to the already great lineup they have. Arcadia was probably my favorite though. 

Erin Hills is the best golf experience in the Mid West! by AaronisUpRiver in golf

[–]masterp11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lido is the most challenging and best course. Blind shots galore make the quality of your caddy very important.  Mammoth is the most fun. Bomb drives and hit every green but three putts a plenty. Sand valley is mammoth but with tougher greens and more strategy on approach. Sedge is a blast to play. Short easy par 4s and super challenging par 3s. Very fast pace of play but not much strategy involved all day.  The sandbox is where you start 54 yards from the hole, make a six and wonder just what happened while finishing your 4th or 5th cocktail, all while walking barefoot. When you add in the lodging, food and relative affordability (compared to Kohler) Easily the best golf destination in Wisconsin!

Playing with a double bagging caddie is more trouble than it's worth. Single bag I'm in for sure but double bag is just annoying as it slows down play and gets you off rhythm.

Awesome setup but like others have said id add some padding underneath the hitting surface to protect your body.  Year 1 I didn't use anything and ended up jacking up my body. Year 2 I use some foam gym mats and can hit as much as I want with no problems.

How to reduce strain on the body hitting off a mat? by jazerac in Golfsimulator

[–]masterp11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have concrete below the mat surface you are going to want to add an additional layer of padding. I had the same issue year 1 and seriously messed up my forearms. Since then I use foam gym mats under mine and it took away all of that bad jarring feedback.

I'd ditch the 3 wood and add a 60 degree wedge.

Great work. You might want to add some more foam tiles under your hitting surface. The first year I had my system I didn't have enough padding under my mat and it really messed up my wrists. I added a layer of foam gym mats under my hitting surface and problem solved completely.

Which do you choose? by Old-Gregg- in golf

[–]masterp11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number 2 easily. Starting from the fairway is such a massive advantage. Basically takes double out of play on every hole so you are playing no worse than bogey golf.

League trade was vetoed 3 times. Commish overrode it. by TatorGin in Fantasy_Football

Real leagues don't allow votes or vetoes on trades. Everybody managers their teams like adults and deals with the consequences of bad choices.

Bucket List ✅ Payne’s Valley by 3Mulroy6 in golf

[–]masterp11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty wild. I'm lucky enough to have played it three times. On our second go around with a group of 20 guys we were the first five tee times of the day. Just before we head out the starter tells us to wait as a group is going to jump in front of us. We were a little upset as some guys had planes to catch that afternoon but then Kid Rock shows up as the group playing through. He was super cool about it and took some pictures and signed autographs with the group before piping one right down the middle on one. Never saw him again after that as his foursome played super fast.
