Maybe wishful thinking here, but we're hoping to head south of Minneapolis at the end of March down to Des Moines or maybe a bit farther to play golf. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I'd just keep driving south(if I were you) stay on 35 to Oklahoma then you'll find some great weather and golf... that will not break the bank either(in fact, many courses are dirt cheap compaired to MPLS or MN in general)

X-460 9.5* tour Driver/Fujikura stiff
X-15* tour 3 wood/Fujikura stiff

Funny you should mention this as me and another forum member (SuaSponteMN) are planning on going to Iowa the first weekend in April (the mass exodus out of MN has started

). From checking Golf Digest Best in State we are planning on playing #1 The Harvester and #7 The Tournament Club . Or you can always go the the Quad Cities and play TPC Deere Run .

I'm itchin' to go to the new Rees Jones course in Riverside, Blue Top Ridge. Riverside is about 20 minutes south of IA city & I80.
I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

In my bag todayâ¦.

      Discipline

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      Great post and I agree with almost all of it. The discipline piece is real — most golfers want the result without the reps. One thing I'd add: there's a version of discipline that happens away from the range too. The 20 handicapper who texts the next day with a full-speed video — that's not just a practice discipline problem. That's an identity problem. He still sees himself as a 20 handicap who's trying something new. He hasn't made the internal shift to being the golfer who practices with intention. I work on the mental side of the game and what I've found is that the golfers who actually stick with the slow, boring, disciplined practice are the ones who've done some internal work on who they believe they are as a golfer. The ones who quit after two range sessions never changed the story they tell themselves. They're still running the old software. Discipline isn't just "will you do the reps." It's "do you believe you're the type of golfer who does the reps." That belief piece is what separates the ones who text you the next day with a full-speed swing from the ones who actually put in the work.
