That's interesting. We have a course a little bit like that up here called Shepherds Crook that kind of reminds me of a links course. There are only a few holes where trees even come into play. I think you would like that one. The best links type course I've played has to be Erin Hills.

I am old school tree lined golf course guy myself, love playing in The Carolina’s and Georgia. Back when you could move the golf ball easier, I loved how you could see the shape of the hole and then conform your shot to that.

Crazy to think that one of the guys on the PGA Tour shot 59 there earlier this season.

Shepherds Crook is on my list to try.

My "bucket list" trip would be to spend a couple weeks in Scotland/Ireland/England doing a golf/sightseeing tour.

Maybe I can get Sir Nick Faldo to plan it for me....

As mentioned earlier in the thread my main driver is semi-broken and I have gone to using a ten year old Titleist driver I bought as a backup this past offseason. I was looking around last night at Callaway Pre-Owned which I've had a lot of luck with and bought all three of my hybrids from there at reasonable prices. No interest in spending $600 or more on a new driver so actually stumbled upon a place where you can buy new and used Titleist equipment called Titleist Certified. Place looks legit and they sell all clubs other than putters. I'd assume their available stock will go up now that the season is winding down. I have heard great things about the GT drivers but no way I am spending that kind of money so looking at the TSR2 which is also a really nice driver. I was finding them in the loft and shaft configuration I'd like for around $329 which I can stomach.

All depends on the condition evaluation to me when I shop used like that. Mostly I think deals are great but last year or so prices for used are higher. Like everything I guess?

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Everything I have gotten from Callaway Pre-Owned has come to me looking brand new even when I bought average condition. I used to just go to Golf Galaxy or PGA Superstore and check out their used stuff on a semi-regular basis after the season was over, but I am a solid 40 minutes from either of those stores and it is a crap shoot what they might have. At this point in my golfing life I pretty much know what I am looking for and don't need to hit balls into a net or get fit for something. As long as the club isn't beat up or have a bunch of sky ball marks on the top of the head I'm generally not too worried about the conditioning. These websites have just made it easier to find what you are looking for, probably at a slightly higher price as you mention, but more convenient. If a driver lasts me 4-5 years at $330 dollars I'd call it a win.
