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!

      Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
