I don't know how many people got this in their email, but if you're a member of CDGA (:D), you can play a round at Mistwood for FREE (valid 'till 5/17). Go to www.mistwoodgolf.net/cdga and enter code CDGA :friends: We played it today and even though the greens were recently aerated, they rolled pretty nicely and the course was in very good condition (compared to i.e. Water's Edge, which I permanantly crossed off my list of courses to play). Coincidently, I had my worst round of the year, but that's expected when you re-tee it 6 times :D. Oh well, I still like the course and will play it few more times this year.

Ok so since we're playing Mistwood in July for the outing I figure I'd go check it out. I literally shot the WORST round of my life at that course. I am a 16.9 handicap right now. Usually shooting low 90's and upper 80's a few times a summer. I swear if I broke 120 at that place I'd be lucky. I stopped counting at the 14 hole. If I missed a fairway, which I did most of the day, the ball was gone! I had a penalty on the majority of holes. Granted I wasn't swinging the club very well but this place didn't even give me a chance to recover.

 

I am now a LINKS style hater. We played from the blacks, second from the tips. For my game it just didn't seem fair.

 

I will still be at the outing but I might be hitting hybrids off the tee just to keep it in play.

Yeap, if you can't keep the ball in the fairway at Mistwood, good luck and bring a lot of balls :partytime2: The last couple times we played it, I didn't even bother hitting the driver (last time I did, I had 18 penalty strokes :cheesy: ). Guess what - it worked... to a degree :pardon: I broke 90 from the back tees while limiting the penalty strokes to single digits :yahoo:

Still like the course ;)

Good to know. I had at least 18 penalty shots due to lost balls. I really think hitting a long iron or hybrid off the tee, playing for bogey and then capitalizing on par opportunities, breaking 90 or at least 95 should be do-able.

The course itself is not bad and they have a decent range and pro shop. The mindset on that course is the key.

Hope to see you in July.

I'm sorry guys but I am unable to make it. There is a local qualifier that day in Ocean City, MD that I will be attending to futher increase my chances to get to Mesquite NV for the WLDC finals, so I can represent this great Golfwrx community to the best of my ability. There may be a visit to the Chicagoland area though sometime in the near future, so if anyone would be interested for a get together, I can get ahold of you when i'm in town.

 

Mike
