DeChambeau is interesting but he’s a complete douchebag.
Hey Bryson, try hitting your tee shot in the fairway. Problem solved.
That is awesome, Bison is a self absorbed twit (per some British guy I can't remember)
I cannot but would you care to expand on what city, state or country you live in for those who may need a game?
JT back to #1.
Time for a major and prime time golf.

Frankfort. I'm just about always down for a round if anybody ever needs a game. My job affords me the opportunity to bounce and go play golf if I so desire (and I often do) in the afternoon during the week.
Looking at Lexington double. What kind of shape are Kearny, Houston Oaks, UK and Cherry Blossom in?
Am I missing a course from around there that I should look at?

Marriott is in fantastic shape. I play mostly there.
Marriott is usually in great shape but it's expensive unless you catch a Golf Now deal. Haven't been to Houston Oaks, Cherry Blossom or Kearney this year. Those places are usually in good shape. I play at the University Club quite often. Both the Wildcat and Big Blue are in really good shape.
Played Cherry Blossom 2 weeks ago. It's in great shape.
Curious what Houston Oaks and Big Blue look like myself.
Houston Oaks to me has the feel of playing two different 9 hole courses, if that makes any sense. It probably has more to do with the back 9 getting more into the residential area I suppose.
Love playing there. Great drive out, typically in real nice condition, huge ballpark where you never feel like your near the clubhouse, variety of longer and shorter holes, very playable for the average golfer etc.
The back 9 hasn't turned into the back 9 of Marriott has it? Window targets everywhere?
I like the course too. It's very fair for the average golfer and I wish I got out there to play more often. It's certainly not the Marriott or Frankfort Country Club where windows are in danger. You just don't notice any houses really until you get to the back 9.
Anyone done a golf trip to Crossville, TN? We are forgoing our annual trip to Pinehurst for a long weekend trip to Crossville. We’ve never been.
Looking at playing Bear Trace at Cumberland Mountain, Stonehenge, Druid Hills and Dorchester.
Thoughts on courses and dining/post round options.

Stonehenge is awesome. Bear Trace is a must. The other two are solid. Bray/Crag are also good. Restaurants are very limited, nothing memorable in 4-5 trips down.
Brae is being aerated day before we get there and Crag less than a week before we get there.
That’s what I thought it looked like food wise. Thanks.
Red’s, local dive bar. It’s a blast when drunk.
Anyone played any Pittsburgh area courses? Going on a golf trip weekend of 10/11 with some buddies and it's mostly in the middle of where a bunch of us live.
I have a Odyssey White Hot 2 Ball SRT putter that I have played for several years. My daughter really wants it as she loves putting with it so I may change the shaft out to a 31 inch for her and buy me a new one. I am leaning toward a Odyssey EXO or Stroke Lab 7 or Marxman series. Anyone have either of these and if so your thoughts?
Not a big fan of Dorchester but love the others. Druid Hills - which is the oldest course there, I believe - has an interesting layout with some great views as does Stonehenge though ‘Stoney’ is a more challenging track.
Love the Heathers and it’s bad that you really don’t have the option to play there. Our group has been going for 19 years and love it.
Luckily, there’s a grocery there now - wasn’t there when we first started. Have some options for restaurants, all in/around Peavine RD and Fairfield but nothing in the way of party life.
Clubhouses are solid - especially Stonehenge - but they all close relatively early, in the 8 PM range.
Played a local public course here Sunday with my 25 year old. Just wanted to be able to jump on and play 18 real quick without Tee time and travel. First tee shot, after contact, I let go of the driver and fall to my knees. Pulled something in my rib cage on my left side. Fought thru 9 holes and told my son I could not make 18. I was going a full 2 clubs down than normal. Par 3 7th is a 205 yard hole up hill with a green elevated about 15 feet. I hit a damn 3 wood. It was well struck and still came up 3 yards short of the green. The pain was so bad I just mentally would not let myself swing with normal club head speed.It even affected my putting. Sucked and I really felt bad for my son, he absolutely worships our Sunday game. Still hurting and stiff, be lucky if I can play this Sunday.
The one restaurant that is really good is temporary closed, Village Pizza. Maybe it will be open by the time you get there. I actually like Dorchester and truthfully all the courses are good down there with some excellent views of the mountains and lakes. Its a great spot for a golf trip and they keep the courses in terrific condition.
Me and you and 57 and Bubba need to go too
My daughters first middle school golf match of the season is tonight and I think I am way more nervous than she is. ![[roll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/roll.r191677.gif "roll [roll]")
