Fall Golf

Tomorrow is Halloween, and golf is winding down in Southern Ontario. Unfortunately, they punched the greens at my home course a few weeks ago, and claimed it was too wet to top dress. Consequently, I have been using golfnow to play courses that still have good greens. Played Listowel last Thursday, and I have played Innerkip Highlands twice in the past week. Today it was about 45 degrees farenheit, or 10 degrees Celicus. Greens were in excellent shape. As I said to my playing partner, we will be quick today as the only guys still out are diehards and idiots. I like to think we are the former, not the later. The trees still have about 50% of their leaves, and the greens were as good as anywhere in the middle of summer. Hopefully, we still get a few more games in.

The wind took down most of the leafs on my home course, but #2 still had some good color. Love this time of year!

Fond memories of the front nine, but the back was a nightmare! I'd love another crack at it too.

Meanwhile, Monday at Lake of Isles North:

#11 - my favorite:

Great day playing Pinehills in Plymouth, MA today with my Dad. 70 degrees today, 40's this weekend.

[/quote] Love The Pine Hills! There's nothing like having 36 holes at one location and being able to play them all in one day! Looks like it is still in fantastic shape!!! Great day to be out and hope you enjoyed yourself!!

Living in San Diego, there really isn't much "fall" to contend with. While year-round golf is a wonderful thing, I do miss seeing the leaves changing colors and eventually falling to mark the end of the year and the impending renewal of life.

With that said, our golf club has 4 majors a year, one of which is the "Summer" Classic. The tournament used to be held every August, but over the course of many years, due to various reasons, the tournament kept getting pushed further and further back, until it was norm to play our "Summer" Classic in October.

For the first time ever, it is being held in November due to a lot of scheduling conflict during the month of October, but I always look forward to this event. Good company coupled with good (hopefully) golf is always something to look forward to. Our "Summer" Classic is a time-honored tradition that is now realized during the fall season for us in our club.

Great fall pictures, thanks to all for sharing. After looking at all of the pictures I really miss the fall colors back in Indiana where I grew up. We are still pretty warm down in Dallas, but things are supposed to cool off this weekend. At least I don't have to worry about losing my ball under a leaf yet this season! Enjoy the cooler weather and beautiful fall colors... I am jealous for sure!

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for sharing all of the photos and stories. Sounds like Fall golf is a favorite amongst many of us.

In my original post I mentioned that our Titleist Manchester Lane test facility is my favorite place in the world during the fall, so I thought I would share some pictures with all of you so you could see what I was talking about. Working there for over five years was truly a privilege.

Hope everyone is able to get a few more rounds in before the end of the season!

Take care,

Bubba

Great pics Speedy.

I found a couple more good ones from PCC.

Here's a pic of Googs' epic par on the Par 3. I thought I had him- until he made this putt.

The foliage was unreal.

Here's Speedy lagging one close.

To follow up on Josh's post, it was a lot of fun playing last Friday at Portsmouth CC with Josh G. and Googs (aka Bryan DeGugs).. The rain had just ended the day before, cloudy with a little wind and hardly anyone on the course but us.. Just a perfect day for Fall.. Then a few good beers and laughs on the 19th hole..

May i mention Josh and Googs had a very good match going on and it was a lot of fun to watch... Who won? Tied.. on the last hole.... Good stuff...

Googs ripping it like he does best... Portsmouth CC 12th hole, Par 4

Josh also ripping it down the middle.. Portsmouth CC 12th hole, Par 4

Great pictures posted by all! I am itching to play; feel like I have the itch everyday! There is just no game like Golf! There is so many emotions that a golfer feels in an 18 hole round. 18 holes just goes by far too quickly!

Mmmmmmmm fall!!! I love fall ball. The weather is perfect, and the courses are in great conditions. I've been fortunate enough to enjoy lots of fall ball so far. Here's some pics!

Here's Speedy (aka Chris H) looking like he should be on the cover of the FJ catalog at one of my all time favorite courses-Portsmouth CC.

Here's some shots from the Ledges in Maine

Here in northeast Ohio leaves on the ground this time of the year can be a problem so throughout the year I save up my "used" Titleist golf balls so I won't lose new ones under the leaves. Played 18 today and those old Titleist balls performed so well I never even came close to losing any in the leaves. Sweet!

Hoping to play Pinehills next week as a sort of wrap up of the golf season. Hopefully it won't be the last round of the year but it's bound to start getting cool around here soon.

So many nice course and wish I could play them all! From what I have seen for info showing there are about 17,000 golf courses in America! So if one were to play 2 courses a day, everyday; it would take just over 23 years to play them all - assuming you could get access or a tee time and weather cooperation. Not 100% sure on the numbers of courses but that would be amazing!

Getting out on a cool fall day is always great. Played at The Missouri Bluffs yesterday and as usual the course was in great shape, but a little soft still after all the rain from last week. We're a bit past peak for color and the leaves are definitely starting to drop, so balls in the rough were sometimes hard to find. Overall though, still a great day!

After the Cantigny event. I traveled to Appleton, WI. and got to play Ridgeway CC with Tyler Higley. It is an amazing course with postage stamp greens that are hard as ice. Enjoyed the couple of rounds there and watching the Packers game in the clubhouse afterwards.

[/quote]

We refer to them as "Tournament Firm", for those of you at Cantigny same a touch faster and firmer than the front nine. They definitely require a variety of shots and a premium is place on good ball striking and hitting fairways.

It was a blast being able to tee it up with Tim for 2 rounds following the Team Titleist Event.

I am hopeful that I will get a few more rounds in before the weather turns and the white stuff flies and I have to fly south to get some golf in.

Fall is now in full effect in the Cleveland area, OH.

Played both days this weekend at StoneWater Golf Club: Saturday was a miserable day weather-wise with 45 degrees, rain and 20 mph winds... tough playing conditions

Sunday was just the perfect fall day: coloured trees all around, sunny skies and just a little breeze. Enjoyed every moment of it and can't wait for next weekend to come and do it all over again!

Fall golf is great, as long as you keep it out of the leaves! Played in an invitational yesterday with Chris H. Nice day, great course, but steady 15+ mph winds all day. Throw in some greens that roll much faster than I'm used to, and scoring wasn't in the cards for me. I believe I 3-jacked at least 4 greens and missed some ridiculously short par putts to boot. Oh well, it was still a lot of fun to get out and play with a fellow TT member.

Love golf in the Fall , played the Jones course at Lyman Orchards. My favorite place to play on the Player course from July to September you can pick apples while your playing and in October you scenes like these Pictures.......

Love fall golf. The courses seem to be in great shape this time of year.. The only downside, is trying to find your balls under the leaves...

Played a few weeks ago in a tournament up in Laconia, NH Pheasant Ridge Golf course. My buddy Dave swinging away...

Played yesterday up in York, ME at the Ledges golf course. with Josh G. aka Hotsauce and Bryan DeLONNNNGGGG (dude can hit a mile, fun to watch).. A lot of fun as always but we all struggled putting.. On the 19th hole we learned they had a member-member tournament earlier in the day where they played from the red (ladies) tees but all the pins were placed in the toughest location. I'll tell you, they did a damn good job of that...

This course and Portsmouth Country Club are a MUST PLAY if you're ever visiting the New England area along the Seacoast. 2 of my favorites.

Here's Hotsauce on the 8th hole, downhill Par 3 199..

Cheers to Fall golf!
