I might maybe be able to do half that. I'm too fat to walk 36, plus the bag starts getting heavy with as many balls as I tend to carry

I played the South 9. Driving game was atrocious, but I OWNED the second shot (7i onto the fairway

Have a garage full of Clicgears you can use. (Or buy)
So .... played Clustered Spires for the first time yesterday. Didn't even know the course was there all these years. I have to say it's one of the nicest courses I have played in quite some time. The greens are immaculate and roll true and fast ... some country clubs should model their greens after these or ask the Superintendent what he is doing right. And if you are on the wrong side of the hole, you can forget it. As long as you leave yourself in the right place, it is very manageable. Everything is out in front of you with no surprises. From the back it plays to about 6900, while the whites are about 6200 I think. I was lucky enough to be paired with a guy that works in the Pro Shop and the Head Pro. The guy in the Pro Shop & his partner played the whites while the Pro & I played the Blacks. Fairways are in fabulous shape as well for this time of year. I must have commented to the Pro 10 times how I loved the greens, especially since I started by Birdieing #1.
My game was spot on yesterday. Really hit the driver well. Finally found the right setting for the D2 and have been loving it ever since. I was keeping it up with & sometimes past the head pro most of the day. 12/14 fairways (some were lonnnngg too!) 12/18 greens 30 putts (with only 1 3-putt which was surprising considering the speed) Also, with the plethora of bunkers that they have, I wasn't in one of them. But I was almost killed by the other guy skulling one out of the greenside bunker!
My only discouragement with my game was my few mishits with the long irons. 4-iron into a par 5 second shot ... flaired to the right and one fat off the tee box. Other than that the other irons were great.
The Spires is a great public course and all of you should get out and play it if you haven't already. Especially if you want to really see how your short game & putting hold up. If you play from the whites (which I will next time), you can really hone in on your short irons and it will really make you focus. All the Old Timers like it (no offense Rob! LOL) but that place was packed yesterday and it looked like a weekend on any other course. I am just a short 25 min away from there in downtown Frederick, so I will definitely be back.
Thanks for mentioning it CAA!
I could be convinced to dust off the wallet. I was suspecting you of being a cart collector though :alien2:

Playing Pilgrims Oak tomorrow, and prepping for the Canton Golf league starting at APG. Plus a boys getaway to Virgina Beach Masters weekend!
Anyone played PO recently? Have not been there since December.

Glad you enjoyed it. I used to work 15 minutes from there about 10 years ago. It gets overshadowed by the big name courses out there, but I'd play it any day of the week.
Local outing, perhaps?

Played it 3 weeks ago or so - the weekend it finally reopened after the snow. It was surprisingly ( well, not really for the Oak! ) in great shape. Only negative complaint was that the greens were slow. That may be different now. If I wasn't playing Deerfield in Delaware I may have joined you if you had an opening. Great course, especially for the price!
APG is in my sales territory - may be up for a late day round sometime!

For sure, but Monday's and Tuesday's are out. League nights use all 18, but Monday night could use some more teams.

Greystone was in pretty good shape for late March, Greens where in great shape and rolling pretty quick for this I me of the year as well. Couple really silly pin placements today. 12 was on the front, 13 was on the front. Only had the white tees out today. Had about a 30 minute frost delay this morning as well.

That is a great track. Haven't played there in five years though.

I play there a couple times a year - twilight. Course can be a beast for sure! Conditions can get iffy in the summer, especially the greens, but usually it's nice. Really sucks that it is in my new sales territory - haha.

Quite possibly the most interesting driver.

If it weren't backwards I might agree
