Going to be in the Savannah Georgia area in the Spring for a couple of days. Wondering if I should take the clubs or just check out the city. Done a little research on golf and would appreciate any information/suggestions either way (golf or don't).

Taylor Made Burner 2 irons (stiff)
Cleveland Wedges (gap and 60)
Odyssey two ball putter (white)

We didn’t golf, but spent a couple of days in Savannah. Nice small city easy to walk around in. They have a bunch of nice restaurants too. I really love the Spanish Moss look on the trees as well. They have a tour of the city on a trolly-type bus that was interesting and a few tours of houses like the one in the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. They also seem to be really into ghosts. 👻

You have a wide range of choices along the Ga coast. from Sea Island to Savannah. Spring will be a good time before the summer heat sets in. And if you mean spring being around March-April time frame....lol

Jekyll Island use to be very nice.   It's about 1:30 south though.

Bummer!


The Pirate house is a great place to eat. We eat there whenever we get a chance too. But, haven’t made many trips to Savannah in the last year.

Only been to Savannah once and it was for work but the little I saw it was a really nice place and was one of the few cities not destroyed in the civil war.

Bacon Park in Savannah is a Donald Ross design that I haven't laid eyes on in decades.  But it's probably worth checking out--per the website it was 'renovated' in 2014.  My grandfather played to a 4 handicap there back in the middle of the last century.  And back then he complained that Augusta National charged five dollars for parking during their April tournament.  That Bobby Jones fella sure had some big city ways, living up there in Atlanta.

A couple guys I play with played it last year, and enjoyed it. Said it was a fun course, in pretty good shape, and the price was good.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      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.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By iacas · Posted

      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.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By Shindig · Posted

      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!

      Gauging Wind

      By Shindig · Posted

      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.
