On the plus side, getting close to finishing my degree, which means regularly golf might become a little more realistic for me again. Royal Melbourne might seem like an ultra private club, but it's actually available for public play just FYI. It's $450 though so it'll hurt the wallet, but many of the British (or formerly British) clubs make revenue by making pricy tee times available to the general public. Something to put on the ol' bucket list. GL finishing the degree! | ||

American side in both cups does tend to excel at singles...but some of the losses surprised me, especially AS in front of home crowds. | ||

I definitely recommend checking out their youtube channel. Specifically their Tourist Sauce episodes. Im headed to Ireland in the summer (ive been there several times in the past and played some famous courses : Ballybunion, Old Head, and the K Club) and it was super interesting to see their irish golf trip. They have one for Austrailia and Scotland as well as some other videos. For the record this was far and away my worst golf season this past year. Ive developed a bit of a hitch in my swing and I relearned a bad habbit of swaying into the ball. I did a simulator league in the winter last year and im blaming it on that! Only going to the range this winter. Buying this house with rework projects makes it unlikely ill golf as much this upcoming year gonna have to practice to make the minimal rounds count. | ||

I haven't really golfed consistently now in almost 10 years, which is pretty sad when I think about it But when you're still a broke student because it for some reason took you a decade to learn you had to work hard to be successful, it is what it is. I play a couple times a year, and can at least still challenge 80 when I do. I'm almost surprised that I haven't lost more. It won't be next year, but sometime in the next 5 years I look forward to making consistent golf, or at least practice on the range, a part of my life again. Some of my most peaceful memories are of that warm, dead quiet, setting sun evenings just being out there solo on the course and in nature doing my thing in the flow of a good round. Some major nostalgia and vibes there. | ||

I definitely recommend checking out their youtube channel. Specifically their Tourist Sauce episodes. Yeah they're kind of hit or miss for me, though like you they've grown on me over the last year. Tourist Sauce is good content and I appreciate what they produce. For podcasts I prefer "Clubhouse with Shane Bacon" "Shotgun Start" (which imo has a much nerdier vibe than NLU) "Fried Egg" and of course, "The ClubProGuy Podcast"  Im headed to Ireland in the summer So from what I understand getting around Ireland is difficult and so you have to kind of pick a spot to be based in. Do you know which area of Ireland you're going to be in? At some point you should go check out Lahinch. [/quote] For the record this was far and away my worst golf season this past year.

I think the biggest problem for me was that I had no one to play with regularly during those years, and each attempt to make a solo comeback never stuck. I'm lucky that I probably played more than 1 round a week on average this year and live in California where we can play basically year round. | ||

I bit the bullet and got a lesson today. My swing had gotten so bad over the last 2 or 3 seasons it started to look like Barkley. I have to relearn my transition and start my downswing with my lower body instead of my arms/hands. I had seriously considered quitting the game things had gotten so bad. I could still score OK on easy courses but it wasnt enjoyable at all. Hope everyone is getting their season started on the right foot. | ||
