The Fairmont Banff Springs. It’s spensive but beautiful.


absolutely worth it. I played last summer and it was great. Course conditions great and not really all that difficult. The scenery is the real show.

re: Steep vs Sweep chipping

When I'm struggling pitching and chipping, I like to really focus on the "toe down" chip. Have the toe down and heel slightly off the ground. And most importantly, ACCELERATE through the swing. If you decel, you are dead.
I've played before and after several times. I think they removed a lot of the trees and changed a few of the holes to make it intentionally easier since its now a "resort" course. They rerouted it so you will make the turn by the pro shop/bar area instead of the old layout making the turn all the way in the back edge of the property with only a coke machine. The old layout was definitely more difficult.
The Refuge is probably the best 100% public option. Deerfield is private, but they let the public play if its not busy, so if its a weekday you can probably get on.
Club championship this weekend, today and tomorrow. Should be great weather both days.
I’ve been using the dawn platinum plus power wash spray and it’s worked great. I use hot water to soak the hat then spray it with the dawn and let it sit for an hour or so then rinse it off.

I haven't used square, yet. From what I've seen, it requires you to use their specific ball, is that correct? If so, that would be a deal breaker for me. It may not matter to the OP, but something to consider if you want to see your actual spin rates.

I always recommend camera based launch monitors when using inside in smaller spaces. The original SkyTrak is pretty cheap these days. You can find them brand new for $700 now, used even cheaper.

I'm going to go to the range with a wedge, 8 iron, and Driver.

FYI- It’s been raining since midnight and doesn’t look to be stopping any time soon for most of 55.

I really recommend a camera based LM if setting up indoors. BLP or SkyTrak+ are good options.
I have one and got it last year. 142 yards front pin over a bunker with a 9 iron. Bc of the bunker lip and front pin, didn’t even get to see it drop. I knew it had a chance so the walk up to the green was a little anxious. Couldn’t even see the hole until you got all the way up on the to green.

I think the shotgun start is a good idea. You get to see more guys finish a round. I think it'd be good for the tour to do that at least on Thursday and Friday.


I have a hard time following the round in the shotgun start format, personally. I think it makes for a bad viewing experience. I hope this is the one thing the PGA never adopts.
I'll be there Wednesday and Thursday so not for the demo day. What are the hot items people want to see this year? If time allows I can try to check some of it out.
