Ain't played nobody, PAWL!
I need to start walking courses, but I only get to play on weekends.
VT, what's your Richmond set up? I took a tour of Stonehedge two weekends ago and really enjoyed it for what I'm looking for. Probably going to get a membership when I move there in July.I've gotten set up with a pretty sweet connection in Richmond & have been able to play 12 different tracks (some more than once) in the past month.

When you get up here lets grab a beer or play a round. I can probably point you in the right direction (or at least to somebody who can).
There are some unbelievable deals right now on memberships at some fairly nice courses. My impression is that there are a handful of courses around RIC that were built at an extremely inopportune time. If you're like me and couldn't care less about the 'bonus facilities' (pool, etc.)... There are some clubs that got caught in a crunch around '07-'08 after building spectacular golf courses; and while they might not have completed all of the planned bells-and-whistles... All of the parts that I care about are there & you can have them for pennies on the dollar.

Walking a course in the late spring at dusk is my idea of heaven.
Have you played Mattaponi Springs? I hear it's for sale so maybe the conditions have dropped but it's a great track. Was thinking about playing a solstice event at royal new kent but it's a hike from dc...
Also, what you're talking about is a Vector. We used these: https://store.accusport.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=HW-VECTORPRO
Pretty accurate, all you really need is somewhere you can hit a ball indoors, a mat to hit off of, and a computer. These are what Golfsmith uses, and I believe Golf Galaxy as well although I may be mistaken on that count since I didn't work for them. They work very well once you have them set up correctly but can be somewhat of a bitch to get situated right. They're also a little ornery sometimes and have to be recalibrated. These, however, are the best on the market.
Yea exactly. Long article in Golf Digest about it, some guy who sucks is trying it. My friend actually has talent but I'm not sure he'll ever find the distance to make any money off his game.
