OT: Ongoing Golf Thread
- Thread starter batts

Man, I always agree it's the magician not the wand, but those Titleist Concepts are juiced up. I can't believe how much more distance they go. Almost too far. I can see pros don't use them.
Mickelson wins Champions Tour debut by 4 strokes.
Played Mountain Ridge today. Great track. They just hosted the Met Open Championship last week. The rough was brutal. Literally have to stand over the ball to find it.
The virus has made money for people in curious ways. One is golf. This year is the first uptick in participation across the country in many years. Men and gals, just gotta get outta the house. Monmouth County is still flooded with players, tee times within a week are hard to get. Middlesex County is rocking too. Gotta get some of you younger fellas back to work.
What's your opinion of the Top Flite Gamer? I think Knightmoves called it the poor man's ProV1 in the Kirkland thread.
The current Maxfli Tour is a poor man's ProV1. You can get them at Dicks for 2 for $50 and if you have the $10 off $50 coupon you can get them for $20 per dz. Here is a video comparison of the Maxfli Tour and ProV1.
I'm more partial to Carly Booth. And she can actually play a bit.
Danielle Kang cuts a nice figure and she wins tournaments. I believe she's #1 or #2 on the LPGA Tour.

I played behind Kelly Rohrbach a couple weeks ago who is a member at Bel Air. Ummmm, woah!
The only part of the tourney I caught was the 18th hole and the playoff hole. Lucky timing, incredible putt to win that would've been a great 2-putt from there.
Buddy plays them and he gave me one to smack around. It wasn't bad. I am a fan of the Snell balls if looking for a Pro-V1 knockoff. As noted, the Maxfli Tour is supposed to be good but I haven't hit one.
lol, I did the exact same thing when I played Pebble in 1991 - hard to take a bad picture at that place...
Played the oldest course west of the Mississippi this weekend. 9 hole goat track in Catalina Island. Billion dollar views with $10 course.
Played the 'Conk' back in the day and ran out of gold balls midway thru the round....
That is why I use urethane ones, they are a lot cheaper than gold.
It's just a meaningless stat. I do like the new format since you get an overall winner. Never liked the NASCAR style format where you win on points.
I’ve played some tough tracks now but that place is definitely one of the hardest I’ve ever played. Castle Pines is another.
When you think about where Johnson's game was back around the Memorial, what's happened over the past month is even more incredible.
I haven’t played Spooky in a long time but that’s not how I remembered it. I remembered you can land a plane on most holes And it was the longest out of Middlesex County courses.
Spooky Brook is actually in Somerset County. But I do agree that you could land a plane on most of the holes. It’s basically a flat open piece of land. Miry Run had a fairway right next to an old runway strip from what I remember. And I remember a plane actually do an emergency landing on Royce Brook GC years ago.
Other than being a long time host of the Tour Championship, it hosted the Ryder Cup back in the 90's.
You would have a much, much better idea than me but watching on TV it appears the greens are what makes it tough. So many breaks every which way.
