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).

My bag:

Taylor Made R7 (x-stiff).
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.

      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.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
