Anyone know why the longest day wasn’t at Duke this year? For those of you who aren’t familiar, it’s the final stage of qualifying for the U.S. Open to be held at Shinnecock and it was at Duke the last 2 years. Thanks.
headed to Charleston this upcoming weekend and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? The two courses below really peaked my interest but wanted some more to consider:
- Wild Dunes (Links Course) : Haven’t had the opportunity to play many links style courses and Fazio is one of my favorite architects
- Charleston Municipal : The green complex’s look amazing (shades of Seth Raynor)
The ocean course at Kiawah is an obvious choice but don’t have the funds to swing a $600 round unfortunately.
Appreciate any insight and if anyone ever needs a playing partner or 4th in the RDU area, I’m always game to get out and golf!
I heard a rumor Brevo is up for sale. I know it’s an easy course to rag on, but it’s one of the more affordable options, and takes on a lot of players. Assuming this is true I can only imagine the next buyer will be converting it to homes. It would be a real shame to lose.
Does anyone know anything about a new golf simulator opening in the Varina district in Fuquay? My wife said she saw a sign or something in the building that houses Fat Cats ice cream and the Indian market. She's not the most reliable source for golf related information though and I haven't had a chance to check it out in person.
Hey everyone! Just wanted to get some feedback on an app I recently built.
I have always been the planner of our 16 man golf trip (Cabot Cape Breton twice, Sand Valley Twice, Palm Springs, etc.)
I would spend weeks creating an 8 page PDF that half the group would read. Everyone asking me what the door code is, which courses we are playing, and what time dinner is. Drove me mad. The joke became "Check the PDF!!!!".
Well I decided to build an app for this exact problem.
It's called Hoofr and it's a free iOS app specifically for group golf trips. You get a shared trip hub with a join code, itinerary, tee times, lodging info, track payments, weather, etc.
It's basically what I wish I had instead of my PDFs. If you've ever been the guy trying to herd a group trip via text thread, this is for you.
I'm heading back to Sand Valley in October with 16 guys, but if anyone is taking a trip sooner and wants to try it out, I'd love some stress testing on it!
Search "Hoofr" on the App Store or try this link to the App Store.
Hope this is okay for the mods, I'm a local RDU Golfer and not promoting this for financial gain, just wanted to share with other golfers in the hopes it helps them with their golf trip and happy to hear feedback from people who actually run trips.
If you leave the FSC membership and want to reapply later down the road. Do you have to pay a new initiation fee
Anyone know Devils Ridge current member rates and if they plan a member drive anytime soon?
Looking for a women’s golf league in the area. Just moved to Apex and not too familiar with the areas golf courses.
Bored with Raleigh area golf. I've never played Bryant Park or Tot Hill, and want to. Thoughts? Anyone make the trip to these courses? (50's, 8.5 Index, still playing blue tees). It also looks like same-day tee times area available at Cutter Creek. Thoughts? Others I should consider?
Anyone know what the process is like to transfer membership from one course to another (i.e. Treyburn to Wakefield)?
I know pros in adjacent counties teach on grass. As a non-club member, can I find a good teacher in Wake County who teaches on grass?
Strangely, I see mat ranges with nice 10-20 yard wide hitting areas just in front of the mats, but they aren't ever used, even for teaching.
And my main problem is mid/long irons which I hate hitting off mats.
These greens fees are comical I cannot believe people are paying this.
Fun track and convenient, but holy hell
I have the opportunity to play Broomsedge in South Carolina. I’m a 60 year old golfer, 10 handicap, average 235 with driver. From what I see online, the course seems long. Will someone with my distance find Broomsedge enjoyable?
I am very new to golf, so as you can imagine I am not good but I can keep pace and I am just there to enjoy the game.
I have a really hard time to go by myself and be paired with folks that may not be nice or don’t want to play with someone that is just there for fun and learning.
Where can I find some people that would like to golf with me and would be willing to take a fourth one that does not care about keeping score for now? Any tips?
Charging $240 for a round now? What’s up with that, I paid $130 for a weekend round last summer
Going to be in Winston-Salem next weekend for a wedding and looking to play Saturday morning in the area. Unfortunately Champion’s course is completely booked and Cardinal is members only until 1PM, so was curious if anyone has played Player’s at BP and recommend it or if I should play elsewhere. Thanks!
