MD/DC/VA Golfers - This One Goes to Eleven

[S.A. OSO]

I think the options for a thrifty round are Herndon Centennial, Algonkian, Brambleton, and Westpark. Here's my quick rundown....

 

Herndon Centennial - municipal course for the town of Herndon. Short course, usually in decent shape. Have not played it since last winter due to distance from my house. Easy course to walk.

Algonkian - Northern VA Park course, relatively long for a public course and really flat. Near the Potomac River, but no river holes. Was in good shape when I played a few months ago. Easy course to walk.

Brambleton - Norther VA Park course, similar to Algonkian but is not as flat and has a better variety of holes. I play here often and it was in pretty good shape last time I played. Although I think they punched the greens this week, so you may want to call to check on that. Easy course to walk.

Westpark - Local course in Leesburg, VA. right off the highway after the end of the Greenway Toll Road. Played there last month and was not in as good as shape as the courses above. Hard course to walk because there are some long distances between holes.

 

Hope this helps.

That's perfect, thanks

I just sua sponted on her torts.

 

Talk about amicus curiae.

[vtnerf]

City, do you smell almonds?

[TheCityGame]

OK, enough jokes. There is no Juror 8013. I made her up so you guys would think I was cool.

 

There really wasn't. We went from 8011 to 8014. 8011 got selected. Ha ha.

 

Still no contact with neighbor.

 

Had a lamb burger with cherry sauce and curly fries for lunch. You want to know something to say to a bartender to confuse her when your food comes, "Curly fries for curly guys."

 

Right now, just want to get outta here for some (more) DTF.

 

Someone just started snoring.

[FAbb]

If we can't get any more juror 8013 stories, how about a golf recap?

 

Also, have any of you eaten elk before?

[baddomes]

city can you please write your posts this way going forward thank you.

Yep. It's good stuff. More cow than deer.

Got a ride home with the JUDGE. Picked up her dry cleaning.

 

Got let off about 3:30. Big win. An audible WHOOP went up through the room.

...that I purchased for her, from an Arbys.

Ok. I have to play golf on Sunday. Anyone have a spot?

[SullGolf]

City, has Juror #8013 seen Kingsman 2 yet? Bought some tickets for tomorrow night at the fancy theater. Newer place that has recliners, table service, and, based on the cost, I'm assuming they throw a handy in on top of all of that.

[StixBmore]

TEE TIME ALERT: 1:10pm Worthington Manor three spots available. Any interest?

Tex - you were right golf galaxy was a waste of time. Basically the guy said it's useless if I can't see your ball flight but wrote me a slip for what he thinks would be my best set up. He told me to take it to Olney, say he sent me, and hit the combo to see the ball flight. What he thought was the best set up took me by surprise. Titleist 917d2 with a rogue max extra stiff. Never thought my swing speed would warrant an x stiff. With what we could see my current set up was resulting in 100-104 swing speed and 3500 spin. The rogue max x stiff brought the spin down under 2000 but the distance was roughly the same.

 

Need to do some research to see if I can bring the spin down on an r7 by playing with the weight configuration. I have it set on an extremely high setup. I think if I reverse the weights it might help the spin. Can anyone confirm this? Will give it a test run Sunday.

 

Very curious to see what you fit me into Thursday.

[misplacedtexan83]

Probably not an X.

 

Sz 9.0 Head for sure

 

After that we shall see

yes to the elk

can you guys tell me about royal new Kent?

[FAbb]

can you guys tell me about royal new Kent?

 

Is that what that sly old fox is calling himself these days?

[pquarta1]

can you guys tell me about royal new Kent?

 

Yes. It is awesome, particularly the front 9. Lots of blind shots, crazy bunkering, massive elevation changes. I loved it. I played tips and played a great round, but it can bite one fast. Very difficult track. Gorgeous property. Conditions sometimes aren't great, but I like it.

By tips do you mean Invictus? I'll be playing with strangers. I was hoping they'd let me play it from back there

[FAbb]

Just looked it up -it's a Mike Strantz course. Sweet. 10/10 would like to bang at some point, for sure.

[2moreTerps]

Looks like I'm going to play there 10/27 to celebrate 10 year anniversary. I'm going play golf and Mrs 2more gonna hang out. Busch gardens the next day.

Yes. I think. Whatever the longest set is. It's a beast.

[SullGolf]

10 year anniversary, and specifically managed to find a golf destination where he can go play and leave the lady behind. I need to get some life advice from TMT so I can figure out how to do that.

[SullGolf]

If the USA sweeps today and has enough points for the overall win, do they even play the matches tomorrow?
