How did you shoot today at Golf
rsvman2 I think the Sims vary a bit too. I've played on a few different ones now and they all seem pretty accurate on full shots, but some widely vary with bunker shots, shots from rough and pitches/chips from rough. Some places provide a lot of different height plastic cones for tees while others don't give you much choice.
We played one last weekend and selected the Copperhead at Innisbrook. We couldn't figure out what it really wanted us to do from bunkers or rough either. In the end we think it wanted a 10 yard bunker shot to be like a 15 yard pitch whereas the last Sim we played wanted like a 30 yard shot for the same 10 yard bunker shot.
The ones around here are a bit pricey IMO. They all remind me of TopGolf a bit where it's fun and you can have drinks, but it costs too much to do regularly.
Played Tierra Del Sol at the Villages today. Beautiful well maintained course. The putting green was as fast as anything I've ever experienced, I think. I hit some 20 footers that I literally took like a 3" backswing and just touched them and they got there. Luckily the course greens while still really fast weren't quite that fast.
I had an exceptional day on the greens with 30 putts and I had a ton of 30 footers that are usually sure 3 putts. Just missed holing a 50 footer by about 2". I was 2 over after 7 holes and then just lost it for 5 holes. Pushing drives right, weak second shots, then got it back and finished strong. Ended up 42-45-87 but that bad 5 hole stretch killed me. Fantastic day, played with a great couple from Quebec.
Was sitting around doing nothing waiting on the rain. Decided to go to the practice green 3 minutes from the house. When I got there the executive course was empty so I played instead. Started out pretty blah with a par and two bogeys then played the next 9 holes in one under! Two birdies and a bogey, the rest pars.
I feel like if I lived here full time I could really improve my game. With a practice green a 3 minute golf cart ride from home and the ability to jump on an executive course late in the day for free would be pretty cool. At home, I'm not driving 30 minutes to get to a practice facility.
I putted quite well again today and my chipping/ pitching is improving. Highlight was a birdie on a par 4 where I hit a wedge from 105 to 3".

Can’t believe the people that worked there were no help when you asked them
Typhoon There was just 1 guy running the whole show and he was fetching beers for players too. We initially had to ask him how to get the thing off of AIM mode into SHOT mode, but after that we just didn't bother.
I noticed this SIM didn't like my wedge shots, but thought highly of my longer clubs. I hit a couple 210 yard 5 hybrids (probably not), but couldn't hit my PW over 95 yards (usually 120 for me).
garyt1957 I hit a wedge from 105 to 3".

Final week for Sim league before the playoffs start…we were tied for 2nd on Wed night group and managed to take 14 points tonight…gonna be a close one for playoff seeding! We should take 2nd by my calculations…
I managed to shoot gross 38 net 31 tonight…with zero birdies…
KCee There is a place that opened in Billerica and it’s like that with help…. The kid tending bar is also on SIM duty. Doesn’t work too well.
Depending on the Sim and if ball /clubhead data is measured or calculated, you will get what you got. Our Sims would read driver distance too low, but our system breaks down adjustments. We can adjust driver, mid irons, short irons. So our settings have driver boosted so it reads correctly
Typhoon Honestly it was fine for me and fun. I normally prefer the covered range with the shot tracer, but it's been so cold that going there is not fun. The overhead heater just doesn't cut it and hitting a white ball out into the white snow is tough to track. That said I may hit some balls there tomorrow before the trip to try to stay loose.
Today was an "Ebay The Putter" day.
13/14 fairways hit
14 greens hit
Birdie putts made 0 of 14 (12 were under 20 feet)
Score on the 14 holes where I hit the green +1
Second round of the year today so I'm still rusty. I managed to get through 15 holes with no worse than a double bogey and kept it under 100.
A pleasant day on the course for February, upper 50's low 60's and overcast. There was hardly anyone on the course. We must have been the third group out for the day. A single ahead of us and we caught up to foursome on 11 and they let us play through on 13. It was CPO but we managed to play 18 in 3:20. Not too bad considering.
67 degrees. Went out alone. Got around in 2.5 hours. 39/41. Beautiful day

Indoor Golf round. Desert course Peligro Range, shot -6. Fun course . Didn’t have my clubs, played out of the bags of the 2 guys I played with. Was fine hitting a set of Mavriks with r300 elevate shafts and the other guys set of Nike pro combos with DGpro s300 shafts and undersized grips. The Mavriks are possible the clickiest irons ever.
Went around my little exec par 3 a few times today. Most of that was spent trying to not overswing, and learn the odd wind pattern that showed up today. Wind was blowing from the opposite direction. It was definitely a 2 club breeze.
The last round, I was even par through hole 5. Double bogey on 6, birdie on 7. Then I screwed up and double bogey on 8, with a bogey on 9 to finish the round off. It was a fantastic day if golf, mid 70s, warm breeze, plenty of sun.
Nice work Dubya!…
