Your description is accurate.
I could play that hole 100 times and I'm aiming for the right front corner every single time.

I could play that hole 100 times and I'm aiming for the right front corner every single time.
We were certainly trying. Aaron was making it really difficult to lose one though
It was definitely an advantage to have seen it once. It's a very playable course, but there are a few things that are good to know about
Brutal. Classic hole design!
I recommend laundering it first
It's definitely a really tough hole. On some other courses i wouldn't like it, but at HC, since the course is generally forgiving, i think it fits in well.
But it's a very tough hole.
The green slopes somewhat front to back, and also right to left. So even if you bail out right, it's still a fast chip. If you miss into the right bunker it's a downhill bunker shot.
Front pins are murder. You can't get it close and most of them there is a lot of slope to deal with on the chip/putt
It's just a really tough hole.
That looks nothing like how @Lord Tox did it
He got super unlucky on that drive. Was sure he would be in a good spot. Must've got a random branch!
Any chance this comment entitles me to scratch and dent pricing on a H50 unit? LOL
I'm kidding
I really need to learn how to smile for selfies. I'm too damn focused trying to just hold onto the phone and click the shutter button I always forget
I spent some time on the site this afternoon, and I couldn't find it either. But I also found the site a bit confusing, hopefully they send us really simple instructions when we get to order ours
We did what we did for the sake of the sportsbookDay late.
Only at certain properties. I asked every HC employee that I could find, stopped just short of begging but they will not sell them at HC.
Plenty of future experiences and I have no doubt there are THPers that will be more than happy to help a fellow THPer out.
I like it a lot seeing it in person. I might not have considered it otherwise.
There may be some difficult decisions when it comes to ordering my six dozen
I couldn't find a single ceramic mug in the pro shop on this trip. They had corksickle ones, but nothing ceramic. It was moderately disappointing.
Think of how an airplane wing works where air speed over the surface generates lift due to the design. Dimples on a golf ball reduce friction by reducing the surface area exposed to the wind, and the pressure difference between the front and back sides of the ball combined with spin generate lift. More speed means more lift. More lift means more height.
Speed is only one of the components, but it's a pretty important one.
While Fish didn't come right out and say it, for the sake of sales I'm sure he'd rather we took more balls out of play than we do. But on the flip side of the coin if they didn't make them so darn durable we would have to
If you scroll down on the main ball page there are pictures specifically for Prov1 AIM Enhanced and ProV1 AIM Performance. You can slide them right or left to check the other models like AVX and Tour Soft as well.
The house does not need more help.
I can't honestly take any credit - artificial intelligence did all the heavy lifting. I was just along for the ride.
I actually left Hidden around 2:00, but I had a passenger and didn't want to endanger him by trying to post while driving and he was in the truck. After I dropped him off I had to stop at a post office to mail out a couple things related to the event, so by the time I finally realized that I hadn't posted the photo it was around 5:00
Recap #2
The food- Wow! I can't say enough about the quality of the food. The first night was incredible with all of the pasta dishes and the meatballs. The large shrimp was the best I've ever had. The second night was so good. The tuna and veal were unreal. I am going to miss being able to eat that (as I'm sitting here eating my packed lunch) The pizza came highly recommended from almost everyone that had visited Hidden Creek and it lived up to the hype. I also recommend the Poke Bowl if you get a chance, it was awesome.
The Titleist Team-
Michael, Charlie and Nick were so gracious with their time to answer every single question we had and actually cared about the conversations we had. Nick was an incredible fitter and made the process so simple and was very transparent of what he was looking for. Michael and Charlie's knowledge of every single thing golf ball related was truly incredible. No question was off limits and they really opened my eyes about the work that goes into their golf ball process. A huge thank you to those 3 for everything the last few days, it was really appreciated.
@Greg Kulbick
@Junkyard
@Nashtyone
@MtlJeff
@AnthonyC
What a great group of guys, truly. I've met @Greg Kulbick and @Junkyard a few times in the past but hadn't met the other 3 and it was an instant good time. We had a ton of fun this week and made some great memories.
This was my first time at a Dormie property and it exceeded every expectation imaginable. The cottages were top notch and had just about everything you could imagine in them. The outside fire pit and inside you had the pool table and golden tee. What a great piece of property. Going to miss every second of the last few days. Again, thank you to everyone involved in putting this event on, it was truly special and I was lucky to be involved in it. Can't wait to do some more testing on the golf balls and add my feedback to the appropriate threads.
It was great hanging out with you. I feel like we hadn't had a TON of back and forth on the forums over the years, but meeting you in person and getting to spend a few rounds together, was really fun. I'm calling you if i'm ever in Columbus!
During yesterday's round I sliced mine left of the green in the whispy stuff that somehow turned out to be better than @Nashtyone's tee shot.
And I didn't even have to modify the lie, although the format would have permitted it.
