Hey


I would join this band of Merry misfits if you don’t mind a hack driving up the average score!

Average score?? ha ha. You are too late, I claim the score-wrecker beat-down king title. Honestly, I pity the golfers who draw my name.:D


More golfers

This is a lofty title in my case. Now you've done it. I will need to go to the basement and hurl insults at the clubs on a daily basis just to show them who's boss. Perhaps they will be sufficiently cowed by the time the game rolls around.

Sounds like we might have half a foursome ready to hit the launch pad!

9:07 , 9:15 and 9:22 today. Lets see how long before i get annoyed at someone because i've been used to playing golf by myself for almost a month. :laugh: Just kidding, should be fun today except for the wind. Could be worse though, it could be raining.

Let’s keep in mind that Eye suggested this be a scramble, which is a great idea. Anyone concerned about not being a “good “ player, need not be. The more the merrier, all levels welcome. It’ll be a blast!

Scramble is a good idea!
 
Our regular 4 some split into two groups old vs young and we did a best ball no cash just bragging rights.
It was a blast lots of trash talking.
Ended up 84-83
I had a chance to tie it but lipped out on a 7 footer.
It was great to be out with friends again.
The cart divider are useless View attachment 446399
Especially if it's windy . :confused: Don't do power carts but i laughed when i saw those. :laugh:
 
Any tips for an enemy, I've never played Southwood.

Not sure if we are playing off the back tees or not, we usually do but at 7300 yards...that's a lot of golf course lol.

Gold/black combos are a great challenge for any single digit handicapper, especially with the wind.

The course is pretty straightforward, all the trouble is right there in front of you. Keep it out of the fairway bunkers and getting into the fescue is worse than any treed course. The trick to the course unfortunately comes from playing a numbers of times. Apart from getting familiar with the greens, it’s a very undulating course and knowing where to put your tee shot can make life easier. You can definitely grip it and rip it on most holes but that can easily lead to some uneven lies by missing the flatter landing areas. It’s a subtle golf course.
Have fun!!

Lots of room over the fairway bunker on 1, over the inside edge of the bunker and leftish is the shot.

2 is very straightforward, just don’t get in the bunkers

3, stat centre left. Temptation is to rip it over the bunkers on the right but the margin for error is low. Doesn’t really help much and can lead to a blind 2nd shot.

4. reachable par 5, stay towards the bunker on the right. You can hit through the fairway if you’re too left.

5 smash it and don’t miss right. Easy short par 4.

6. Tough hole into the wind, very elevated green, use an extra club on the approach.

7. Tough to reach in 2 although doable. If you miss, miss right on the approach but left off the tee. Don’t be long into the green.

8. tricky angle, aim more right and you’ll come right over the front bunker, which is where you want to be.

9. Keep tee shot centre left for the best approach. Keep right into the green. All the trouble is left.

10. Over the right side of the fairway bunker. Don’t go straight over it or you’ll end up in the crap. Elevated green, take and extra club and don’t miss left.

11. Don’t be long, right side of the green feeds to anything middle and left.

12. Bomb it. Easy short par 4.

13. keep tee shot to the right of the fairway bunkers on the left. Temptation is to bomb it but could end up with a tricky downhill lie to a raised green if you hit too far.

14. take it straight over the fairway bunker on the left. Reachable in two but bail left. Right is a nightmare.

15. don’t try to take it over the bunkers on the right. Stay just inside them. Missing left into the green is tough.

16. Hit a soft draw up the centre left. Leaves you a short iron into an elevated green. Tough hole if you don’t place the tee shot.

17. club down, elevated tee, don’t miss long. Easy short par 3.

18. Don’t bit off too much of the corner on the dogleg. Better bet is a tee shot over the left edge of the front fairway bunker. If you’re in the fairway, bomb away with a 3 wood for your second shot, it’s reachable and not much trouble unless you miss wildly.

That’s my 5 cents.

good luck!
