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.

    • Day 16: range night! Worked on long game for about 40 minutes, with a good solid 20 minute focus on my priority piece. Things improving there. Bookended that with some wedge and driver work. Finished up with about 30 minutes of short game. Working on distance control and all types of shots and lies. Short game is probably as good as it has ever been. 
    • You should be able to install it yourself, honestly. You could easily blow it on and use some one-sided duct tape or something so it stays in place. That's what I've done with one of my grips.
    • Day 22 (12 July 26) - worked on putting tempo today using metronome for accurate tempo. 
    • Hi all, My Edel putter seems to have developed a rattle.  I don't think it's a big deal, as I mostly hear it when I'm tapping down ball marks on greens.  However, I am debating getting it fixed, especially as I intend to play a lot of golf in August and September, and to continue playing regularly after that of course too.  My issue is I think fixing it would entail the fixer (golf shop repair station?) removing the grip and, presumably, applying a new one.  My problem is two-fold.   First, I like the grip on it, although after eleven years, maybe it's worth replacing.   The bigger (second) issue is getting the grip.  I don't like the flat-fronted putter grips anymore.  I have the round one on my putter, and I suppose I could buy one from Edel's website, but would a golf shop install a grip I bought elsewhere and brought in?  Or could they order one if Edel is not a supplier of theirs?  I don't recall ever seeing any Edel products in a Roger Dunn or PGA Superstore, although the era when I would go to a store and browse has long since ended (for better or worse).  I'd also wonder what the timetable is, as I'm leaving for a seven week trip in under three weeks. Any suggestions on what to do would be very welcome, whether about the rattle or the grip, together or independently.  Thank you!
    • I'm glad to know that picking up grass and letting it go doesn't help.  It felt like it shouldn't, but I'm glad to hear there's a good reason why.  It makes sense that wind is different higher up than it is near the surface. For a while, I was in the habit of checking the prevailing wind direction before playing.  That helped if I wasn't sure.  However, I still am not really sure whether something is a 5% wind or a 10% wind (and, of course, I know that a "helping" wind helps about half as much as the same wind hurting).   One of these days, I'll learn how to figure out what to do differently if the prevailing wind is 10mph vs 20 mph.
