• Final two rounds of our Club Championship likely will be WET!

    Forecast for the weekend is not promising, spotty rain both Saturday and Sunday.  While I still consider myself a dark horse, I'm in the hunt, only one back.  But rain can be a great equalizer for the field.  I have rain gear and gloves, but I think…

  • Re: SM5 Vokey Wedges Which finish is most durable

    I recently bought a set of V5 nickel plated wedges (my 3rd set of Vokeys).  After 1 session on the range the finish appears to be eroding.

  • My First Ace RBGCC 15

    Poked a 5 iron on a 165 yard uphill that I played about 175, hit the front of the green but the ball disappeared because of the low tee box. Pulled my 60 degree and putter out and searched the sand traps as I assumed the ball hit the green and carried…
