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)

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.

Thanks for the feedback but have been informed by the boss that we will not be playing golf.

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.

    • The putting green itself is fine. It's the same green we have here. They just need to learn how to chip "into" the grain instead of just down-grain all the time. You have to hit it solid. The launch monitors and the simulator software are garbage right now. Nobody wants to say anything bad about the LMs because Tiger is a partial owner or something. The software has 3Ws stopping in ten feet on the green, and balls bouncing all of 11 yards after flying 311 in the fairways.
    • Explain this:   Send 3 and 4 pence we're going to a dance.
    • Although fun to watch on a winter night, I don't think the simulation is anywhere near accurate. Watched Kevin Kisner hit a shot onto a green slope that would not roll back. When they got to that spot, they couldn't place a ball there without it rolling down the hill. Had to move to another location. The greens remind me of the pooltable-like surface of a Mini Golf course. Balls just take off and roll away. Chipping from off the green seems tricky on the surface they use. And what's with Tiger spitting during the round? It's an indoor carpet. Don't know why atheletes need to spit outdoors, let alone on an indoor carpet surface. 
    • Maybe this is what you were getting at?  Doing some math. Comparing JumboMax versus Tour Velvet, standard size in both.  I got the force required using the JumboMax grip, to achieve the same rotational acceleration as the Tour Velvet, is about 1.37 more for the JumboMax grip. Interestingly, the Jumbomax grip is about 17% larger than the Tour Velvet, and 17% lighter for the standard size. I just substituted out the radius and mass of the JumboMax as a ratio of the Tour Velvet's mass and radius. This allows me to cancel out the mass and radius and get a ratio for the force. If you need 100 (force units of your choice) to achieve a certain rotational acceleration, you will need 137 (force units of your choice).  There was another thread on the forum about offset, where it basically just delays closure by some stupidly small amount. A lot of fun math there.  Most golfers have to go from about 90 degrees open clubface at A4 to square at A7. So, having a grip that requires more force to close that clubface might not be the best idea pending the golf swing.  A question is, since the clubface is open at A4, and square at A7. Does that mean you want most of the closure to happen from A4 to let say A6, and not A6 to A7, for better consistently (less timing at impact). Just a thought.     
    • This reminds me of the old game Telephone, where someone tells a story to someone, that person tells it to the next person, and after a few re-tellings you see how badly mangled the story gets.  Most golfers learn the rules in a similar fashion, learning from someone who really doesn't know the rules themselves.  This isn't really helped by the fact that many golf professionals aren't all that knowledgeable about the rules.  In addition, most golfers have been told that the Rules are SO complicated and SO difficult to read that they never try to read for themselves. Now, having vented a bit, is there anything in particular you'd like to read?
