I use the ring of fire, but I setup 4 tees at 3ft, 6ft, 9ft, 12ft, and if nobody is on the green 15ft. You don’t have to go around each circle twice, but every putt you miss you have to go back to the previous one. Can’t stop until you make the last 12/15 footer. Once did this drill for 3 hours straight

Hey there, Joshua! 24, 1 kid with another on the way, no interest in fighting! I’m based out of Chattanooga, but my wife’s family is from Cookeville! What are some of the courses up in the Cookevegas area?

This is a great discussion topic! In my opinion, they just have to consolidate. My father used to frequent Myrtle Beach in its heyday, and the key was that all the courses were in relatively great shape. So, you could pick any of the hundred courses at random and play a decent track that was in good shape. Now there are too many of those courses that want to charge $70 a round and they haven’t done anything to improve (or in many cases maintain) course conditions. There is also the factor of length. 25 years ago maybe 1-5% of the playing population was hitting it 280-300. A lot of those course designs just aren’t built to allow for bombing the ball, and because they are all on such small footprints they can’t make any changes to accommodate the change in the game. That makes a lot of the courses too boring, or too constricting on play style to be enjoyable for the general golfing population. If you cut the number of courses down to a solid 15-25 that are all in great shape, and have the more modern design elements (not that I am necessarily a fan of modern design, but the times are the times), then they’ll be able to provide enough variety while still maintaining elite conditions to the golfing population. This would also allow for the courses to be more than the old run down clubs they are today. There’s no life, no change, no enthusiasm in the golf world of Myrtle Beach.

I believe that is right! Sounds like we both have good taste in our golf communities! Persimmon is still in pretty good shape if we can catch a decent day to get out!
