Tiger in Spain 0 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Has anyone played the Coosa Pines course off highway 280 near Childersburg? If so, how did you like it? I am heading home in October and I'm looking for a good place (near Pell City) to play. The 2 courses in Pell City are members only clubs. I hear there is another course in Oneonta. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AuNuma1 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I haven't played that one in Childersburg but if you could travel a little further up 280 to Harpersville you could play The Meadows. Fun little course, right off of 280 on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermike 3,041 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Numa, did you take your trip to Gulf Shores yet? What courses did you get to play ? PS - I can't help a lot with courses, I quit playing several years ago. Just not enough time. But there is a Robert Trent Jones course in Birmingham and several good public courses in the area.

If you were to play in a WEN tournament you would find that just like everything else the members playing were not the experts they thought themselves to be. Free of charge I will give you the best golf tip(s) you will ever receive. Stay out of the woods! Stay out of the water! Make your putts! Do those three things and you will have a chance.

woods1110 0 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I could give you some lessons....My middle name is "Tiger" LOL No, seriously though, a tourney would be awesome. $50 per person 4 person teams Best Ball format That would rake in a lot of money for WEN if we got more than a couple of people to sign up!! Come on everybody...Lets make this happen! And the prize for the first place team could be tickets to a game or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydubb121 22 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I'll second the nomination of The Meadows in Harpersville. Coosa Pines is not bad but you have to deal with the stench of the paper mill right across the highway. If you'd like to venture to Talladega, we have a municipal course known as "THE ROCK" and the old country club known as Timber Ridge. Both are open to the public. Might even catch me or WARTIM there.

I recall there was a golf course off Highway 77 just past the movie theater and old WalMart shopping center. Is that the Rock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG-91 1,483 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Not to get into a semantics argument or anything, but I always thought a slice was away from where you were standing and a hook was toward where you were standing...a left-hander's slice would be to the left and the hook would be to the right...vice versa for a right-hander. Kinda like hitters in baseball...right-handed hitters pull or hook the ball to left field, vice versa for left-handers. Carry on...golf is a sport that I've enjoyed playing, but is too rich for my blood. I live over 600 miles away at any rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDM4AU 332 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 A slice for a righty will curve right as you face the hole. A hook for a righty will curve left as you face the hole. It is the opposite for Lefties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
