Agreed. I haven’t been in a few years and would love to go back. Just saw a deal for the course on Groupon which is surprising.

No this one is in New Tripoli Pa. It used to be a farm and he went to watch the British Open. When he came home he decided to change his farm to a course just like ones used in the Open. Great Course.

Why do you hate the fade? Just don’t close your hands! It’s simple.

Says the guy who can’t hit a draw.

Hahahaha, you know what I mean. I actually CAN occasionally hit a fade, but I just as often will double-cross it when I try. Or I won’t start it far enough left. Fades, for me, are an emergency use only thing.

Same for me. Driver usually fades, but nothing else. When I was playing more I started to be able to hit a push cut quite well which was nice. There are a few holes at my course I would love to be able to hit a fade on to stay away from trouble, but I just can’t seem to do it.
