Just finished my plans for a 3 day Memorial Day weekend tour of the north part of the Robert Trent Jones golf trail in Alabama. They have a special for 3 days unlimited golf for $144pp. We are playing the Schoolmaster and Fighting Joe at The Shoals in Muscle Shoals, the Highlands and River Course at Hampton Cove in Huntsville, and the Ridge and the Valley at Oxmoor in Birmingham. Chose these cause they are the quickest to get to from Central Arkansas. Anybody been on any of these courses??

In my Arkansas Razorbacks stand bag:

Driver:SasQuatch SUMO2 9.5°

2 hybrid 16° 3, 4 hybrid 3DX5-PW: Tour Pro ComboWedges: 52°, 56°, 60° spin milled Putter: Circa '62 No. 1 ; Newport Tel 3 LongNeck ; Newport 2 ButtonBack LTDBalls: ProV1

I have played all these courses. They are all wonderful. The Fighting Joe is by far the hardest its a links style with super tall rough and narrow fairways not to narrow though and WOW it's LOOOONG. School Master is lots easier and more forgiving. The Highlands is in a transition to a links style now it should be done by the time you get there its rolling hills elevated greens. The River Course is pretty flat lots of water and sand very fun course to play. The Valley and Ridge courses are my favorites of all those I can't even explain these execpt very hilly and...........well IMO Perfect you will love these 2. But all of them are great courses I hope this helps.

PS......For the Fighting Joe take a few extra balls you might need them

When you are in Huntsville for the Hampton Cove Courses I would recommend Conners Steak and Seafood its about a 20 min drive from the golf course. Just ask the folks a the hotel you are staying at the can tell you how to get there. If you are staying in the Ebassy Suites they have a Ruth Chris Steak House but I would still recommend Conner's their Fillet is AMAZING.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 51 (yesterday was 50, not 59 -- that was a typo).  I didn't have a ton of time today.  I hit a dozen balls with a 6-iron in my practice room.   Amazingly, after this I did the ShotScope analysis of yesterday's round;  my approach play was at the 5 hcp level.  That's pretty darn good, but unfortunately for my score, some of that came from hitting a few good recovery shots.  But I also hit some really good approach shots that weren't from trouble!

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By JetFan1983 · Posted

      Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times.

      I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.
