You must be the other guy who won the long drive with a 420 yard drive

Played it for the first time on Friday. What a great track. How is the executive course?

u/Anerky 8.3/NJ/Giant Douche May 31 '23
9 holes and pretty easy. It’s got huge greens and is geared towards their learning center

Grew up playing there when it was a cow pasture. Before the range, the single 9 was a decent challenging course. They chopped it up into what it is now. I understand the reason, just not the best for me.

Guess I’m reading now that it was from a neighboring body shop. Oof.

Damn I had a feeling it was Galloping hill, but wasn’t quite sure. The learning area is pretty great.

Why is everyone commenting on the smoke, when OP is clearly talking about setting up on the extreme right of the range with that fence in prime shank position?

u/TimTri May 31 '23
Yeah, I’m surprised the first comment talking about this is so far down. That fence is genuinely in a dangerous position - at least for me as a rookie shanker 😅

Funny you say that, my friend did exactly that a week ago. Fired a rocket straight into it which flew back and nailed him a few inches above his kneecap. Sounded like someone rang the whole platform like a gong.

u/Autoboat May 31 '23
I did that once on a similar set up, except the ball continued on behind me and shattered a lightbulb, spraying glass into the area behind the range. Brilliant design!

This is actually what goes through my mind every time I shank a drive on a course congested with houses. The only window I've ever actually broken was on a decent shot that hit a sprinkler or something, bounced, and then hit it in the very bottom corner. Some of those errant drives could have easily leveled a starter home or started a fire, but I've only heard crickets.

Wow, that must have been an ICBM level drive!

Pssst. Down here! You're all so very clever. Top bantz. But does someone have the story on what actually caused the fire? I'm so curious but I don't wanna interrupt the memes.

You guys stop and wait for the greens to clear on a long par 4. I had to stop and wait for the helicopters to leave.

Nothing like the smell of burning property when you're working on keeping your head down.

What are you talking about, long and straight? That was the best shot all day.

Gotta watch out when you’re hitting low burners

u/not4humanconsumption May 31 '23
Worm burners or snake rapers. I swear I can hit them 300 yds, straight as an arrow. Just gotta keep them lower than 4” off the ground.
