I certainly will be doing that. With two very different styles of courses in MB I will be looking to specific courses to meet certain criteria.How many Legacy guys are going to venture out of the comfort zone for the last couple of months and play courses that are unknown to them?
To me I believe it's less about difficulty factor and more about the unknown. Playing the same course always led to similar shots and a comfort zone for me. I had the best success when I completely ventured out of my comfort zone.I certainly will be doing that.

Edit; Old Stonewall will be a great test!
I agree. I don't find either course to be difficult, but the do require a golfer to think differently. Different plans of attack if you will.To me I believe it's less about difficulty factor and more about the unknown. Playing the same course always led to similar shots and a comfort zone for me.

I would say the majority of my rounds this year have been on courses not known or at least not known well. I love playing new courses so I try and get out to as many new ones as I can. I tend to get bored playing the same course one of the reasons I let my membership go and now travel around.How many Legacy guys are going to venture out of the comfort zone for the last couple of months and play courses that are unknown to them?
which course?

I've been doing this as much as I can lately, and I intend to keep doing it. There's something about those scores at a new-to-me track that really show where your game is at.How many Legacy guys are going to venture out of the comfort zone for the last couple of months and play courses that are unknown to them?

Half of my rounds I've ever played since January are on courses I was playing for the first time, so it's not exactly outside my comfort zone at this point. I intend to keep that up as much as possible though. There are tons of courses around here I haven't played yet.How many Legacy guys are going to venture out of the comfort zone for the last couple of months and play courses that are unknown to them?
Spent time doing this last night, about an hour and a half of listening to House of Cards on the TV while I rolled putts in the living room, just getting in reps.Well hopefully that's been resolved. In home putting is better than doing nothing. Line on balls, work on getting it going end over end. Costs nothing but time.
my skins game is at a different course every week so it's not only a good test, it's fun and never boring. Lots of the places I've never been or played once.How many Legacy guys are going to venture out of the comfort zone for the last couple of months and play courses that are unknown to them?

Absolutely. At least one of the rounds this coming weekend will be on a course I've never played, and another may be played on a course I haven't played this season, yet.How many Legacy guys are going to venture out of the comfort zone for the last couple of months and play courses that are unknown to them?
Interesting insight here, JB. My PB is on a course I had never played before. Second lowest score is on a course I'm pretty familiar with. Third lowest score is on a course I hadn't played for 5 years.To me I believe it's less about difficulty factor and more about the unknown.

Heading to the unfamiliar course reduced decision making choices for me, as I had no expectations - I simply tried to play to my strengths, and away from my weaknesses. It's a lesson I really need to heed better on courses I know, to avoid complacency.
You played amazing at Arbor considering we had no idea where we were going, even though we kept asking Tony, he did his best!!!That's about all i can do, since my home course isn't usga rated and useless for handicap purposes. My handicap rounds are as follows
1) new course
2) course I play about 3 times per year
3) new course
4) same course as #3 (it was 36 holes that day)
5) new course
I'm expecting to set foot on about 5 more courses that I've never played before over the next 6 weeks. I remember the 'does your handicap travel thread,' and I've definitely made it a point to get used to the unknown, if that makes sense.

Last night was probably the first time in my life I shot sub 80 and feel like I played pretty iffy.
Missed some easy putts, iron play was meh but just kept making pars on the front 9.
Progress. And it feels great!
Thanks so much brother! You've seen me at my lowest points as well as my highest and you're one of the few guys that has seen me progress from where I started. The words mean a ton coming from you.Dude, I just wanna say this. I admire your game and your progress so damn much, and you're an inspiration to me to get better. Going from (I won't sugarcoat it) one of the strangest swings I've ever seen a little under 2 years ago to the place you're at now is just awesome, and I've always thought your short game was money. I really think you're gonna be dangerous down there in Myrtle.
Not trying to gush, just want to give you some kudos cause you deserve it!
