I hear you. I prefer a range where one can use a tee and have the ball teed the way one likes it. Using "standard" built in rubber tees sucks. I am not good enough to adjust my swing because the rubber tee is too high or too low.

Well? Have you been hitting the new 1 Wood/1 Metal/Driver? What is the early evaluation?

I have not played there. It is public, although pricey ($205 in season).

I am not sure how the "ownership" of the course is set-up. The course supposedly donates $1,000,000 annually to the charity, Folds of Honor.

We were in Brazil while the Mitten was having the ...

We made a trip to Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Left on May 18th and got home on June 3. My brother married a Brazilian woman and the two of them live in Austin, TX (actually Round Rock). They also own an apartment in Belo Horizonte.

The reason for the trip was twofold: a big Brazilian family party for ...

The thread needs to be changed to "Club of the Month" and nominate PW.

Best round of the year, 74. 13/14 fairways and 13 GIR. The yardage at which I played was a bit unimpressive at 5,895 yards but I am going on 73 so maybe I earned the right to play a patsy of a course.
