  Trying to stay on fairways with drives is a good laugh, good effort WGT for mixing things up. I only hit 2 fairways for front 9, and although you could birdie every hole, landing in rough on awkward drives makes birdies constantly difficult indeed.

  Different pin locations should also be considered, then our good old trusty courses we have now would have a longer life, and it would be like having new courses.

  Do not go into this with your stock bag. Another wedge instead of the driver and tee off with a 3w.  :-)

  Yes thank you very much Icon. I know you have been putting a lot of thought into the weekly set ups and the RG set ups and I for one really appreciate it as the quality of experience has definitely improved over the last 3-4 months. Thank you.

  Playing from the red tees I like being able to smash the ball close to the green and one of the challenges is keeping the ball on the fairway. I think I only hit 2 3 Woods on the 2nd and the 4th, full drives everywhere else.

  While I'd love to take the credit for this, I personally do not set these up. I do, however, really recommend a variety, since I believe it's the spice of life :)

  I love hard conditions where if you hit the ball against the wind, it comes back and smacks you in the head; but I also love fun settings, where you may drive some greens you could not do before.

  Happy hitting:)

  One of the challenges this month is from the back tees for Beth Page.  I was taken off guard when I whacked the ball and looked up and I was about 25 yards further away than normal.  I'm not ready to play from the big boy tees yet.

  No worries...there's plenty of us (supposed) big boys that feel the exact same way! 

  Certain holes can be just plain cruel from back there....STA #17 into a heavy wind for instance....

  I thought BPB #15 was actively evil for a while :p
