Looks like I will be in for a trip to the Jacksonville area this summer in August.

Is there any course recommendations to play? What is weather like in August?

I figure it will be HOT!!

i heard there's a decent track a little south of Jacksonville in Ponte Vedra...i think it's called Axgrass or Sawlawn...wait, sawgrass, that's it.

you should be able to get on pretty cheap (relatively speaking of course) in the summer months. another half-hour down 95 takes you to the world golf village, and going back north on 95 from jacksonville offers up Amelia Island. obviously these are some pretty nice tracks and I don't know your budget, but if you're looking to do it up nice you're in the right place...

Well after being away for a few days, Thanks for the replies.

My budget is moderate, so nothing too expensive and nothing too cheap.

I guess middle of the road.

Man I hate humidity, that is why I moved to Colorado.

I really appreciate the suggestions. It looks like now we will be heading that way
the first or second week of September. We are waiting on the birth of a
grand child.

      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.
