I have an el Camino that I use when I’m only going to the range. Works great for that and I don’t walk - but usually need to leave a few clubs at home to fit.
Played the crossings at Magnolia Grove on a golf trip a couple years ago. Also played Lakewood the next two days (Azalea and Dogwood). I preferred the Crossings over both of the Lakewood courses.

It’s a 70% gap for me. I don’t get enough spin on my PW when I take that much off. Doesn’t hold a green as much as I’d like. YMMV

It’s what strippers entrust their lives with, so you know it’s good.

re: Looking for some new wedges

Posted by Milfordman on 8/12/26 at 9:22 pm to
Played vokeys for years because they were “the best”. Got a Cleveland RTX6 zipcore for really cheap as a backup wedge. Quickly realized it was now my new favorite club in the bag after a few chipping sessions. Ended up replacing all my wedges with RTX and RTZs
The original design was flipped about 7 or 8 years to allow a clubhouse stop at the turn. (1 was previously 10). The course flowed much better with the original design IMO. Not sure what tees you played but 18 is most certainly considered a driver hole from the tips or 1 ups for most players. The entire left side of that hole used to be tree lined which was primarily taken down by Ida and what was left was just razed. Was a much better looking and interesting finish hole before that.

Carter started an MGA this year. It’s still in the “testing phase” so no entry cost this year but so far it’s been successful. They open the course to the MGA on maintenance day (Tuesday) once a month and have several other tournaments planned and played to date.

Where did you end up? Went in Feb for the WM but only played once while there - primarily because the greens fees were through the roof that weekend.

Going back over Father’s Day weekend. Have stadium booked on Sunday but still deciding on the Saturday round. Thinking Quintero or Troon North.

re: Greystone - Hole 4

Posted by Milfordman on 5/26/26 at 8:03 pm to
It’s almost never worth trying in my opinion (for me at least). Doable? Yes. Worth triple or worse 4 holes into my round? No. Just play for par and move on.

Las Sendas was a little off the beaten path but a good experience and going to be a little cheaper than some of the Scottsdale spots.

re: Greystone in decent shape ?

Played a couple weeks ago. Good/normal shape then. Greens were a little shaggier than usual but probably just not rolled that day. It was midweek.

Any idea the extent of the renovation? Are they dozing the turtle backs?

Has made their “significant” greens renovation public and are beating the drum for new memberships. Curious to see how extensive these renovations will be.

“ We are thrilled to announce a significant greens renovation project beginning May 4, 2026.
Membership operations will continue as normal during this time. If you join before the renovation, your rates will be grandfathered for the next 12 months. New members who sign up after the renovation is complete will be subject to higher rates and a new initiation fee.
Join now to take advantage of our current rates and avoid these upcoming changes.”

re: "Tennis" elbow experience?...

Posted by Milfordman on 1/14/26 at 7:37 am to
Had it bad in both elbows all of last year. Saw an ortho who confirmed they don’t do the shot for tennis elbow anymore because they’ve found it does not help the issue and only prolongs healing. They gave me a series of exercises to do, wrist braces to sleep in, and meloxicam for bad flare ups. All of which helped, but the theraband made the most progress along with some golf mechanics adjustments. Still have some flare ups in my right elbow if I play more than usual, but it’s manageable now.
