. . .Four of us at work are planning a 4 day weekend at Atlantic City some time this summer. I've already looked at a brochure of available courses and they look great! Any recommendations out there?

Thanks!

Hey B-17,

Played up in AC a few times.

For an old style parkland Donald Ross course, Seaview is probably your best bet for a "golden age" style course.

For a more modern course, try Sand Barrens and Twisted Dune. Both are great courses.

Tom Doak renovated the William Flynn-designed Atlantic City Country Club, but the slope suggests it will be about as challenging as Seaview (Twisted Dune is a real bear).

Anyway good luck and let me know if you play around CP and the area. I'll be looking to check out Lake Presidential when it opens in about two months...

. . .Thanks for the get back! It looks like no matter what courses we choose, we will not be disappointed. What could be better. . .golf during the day, a long 19th hole, and playing black jack at night!!

Go Terps!! Gotta win tonight to have any chance at the Big Dance!

Onlything better is adding a steak at the Old Homestead in the Borgata. My wife plays (and sports a 19 handicap). Each year for our anniversary its golf down by AC (I echo the comments above on Seaview and Twisted Dune), a couple of cold ones after the round, Porterhouse for two at the Old Homestead and then some blackjack. Life is good...

we're doing a group of 8 to 12 down there in mid-may. i have a summer trailer outside sea isle city and go down almost every weekend during the summer. despite being down there constantly, we've never actually hit many of the nicer courses. our 4 rounds are at mays landing, sand barrens, twisted dune, and shore gate. where to play depends on what you want to spend, and don't shy away from courses further south, most of them are moderately priced, but you get what you pay for down there.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
