Hello! I'm a beginner golfer and am looking to go on a trip where I can play a bunch to improve! Does anyone know of any type of adult golf camp where I could for like 3 days to a week to just play and take lessons, preferably near New York or somewhere in Texas? Thanks!

It might be tough in the COVID-19 times, but plenty of instructors have offered golf camps. Dave Pelz, for example, had putting and/or short game camps.

Your best bet right now is to contact an instructor you like and want to work with and see what kind of custom thing they might be interested in putting together for you.

I've done that for a few people this year already.

Look up "The Original Golf School Mount Snow".  It has been literally decades since I went there.  It is a reasonable drive from NYC (located in southern Vermont).  I suspect there are similar programs in Texas.

I would not recommend "Mount Snow" or any other "golf camp" unless one is very much a beginner.  Group instruction is fine for picking up the very basics but once one has played a bit, individual instruction directed at your personal game is going to produce better results.

I know that Pinehurst in NC does multi-day golf schools, and I know the both the golf course and the resort's hotels are open for business.

Same area as Dave mentioned above, Pine Needles has a golf academy and something they call a Golfari (I think it has a more social aspect as well). I haven't done the academy, but have played both Pine Needles and Mid Pines and they are great tracks.

Players play, tough players win!

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
