Howdy, neighbor! I'm down in Prattville. I've lived in Scottsboro and Russellville before, though. Russellville is where my wife is from.

I was born and raised about an hour and a half from Orange Beach. That's beautiful country down there by the coast. I understand Kiva Dunes is a great course to play but I've never been lucky enough to get out there for a round.

Never been to Bama and I want to make it there soon. First stop will have to be the University of Alabama to marvel at what is now the permanent home site of the greatest football ever played. Next, I'd like to make it to the coast to see me some crimson tides. Any recommendations on best coast destinations?

P.S. You wouldn't believe how many times OSU fans ask, "Why don't you like Ohio State and WHY do you like Alabama?"

My Answer: I admire tradition, excellence, and the best football program in the history of college football.

yes i have, The Fighting Joe is really long (from the back its extremely long) if you're accurate and have decent distance you can score no problem though, once you get past the first cut of rough it is high grass to your knees/waist like in the british open .... The Schoolmaster i've only played once ... dont remember a whole lot about it, its got more trees and the rough isnt as high (from what i remember) seems to be more elevation changes, elevated greens and tees etc. again accuracy is key there too

If you ever come down, PM me. I cover college football as part of my job and I do all the home games for UA.

You won't see any "crimson tides" on the coast unless we're having an algae bloom. (g) And then you won't want to get anywhere near the coast. The nickname spawned from the fact that, before there were numbers on football jerseys, Alabama dressed in red shirts (probably because the state flag is a red St. Andrew's cross on a white background) and a sportswriter said it looked like "a crimson tide of humanity" or something of the sort. Coastal destinations for a vacation? Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. You'll see sand unlike any other beach I've ever been to. It is white, and I mean WHITE. They call it "sugar sand" because it looks like sugar. Very soft and clean. Both towns are more family-oriented than some Gulf Coast beach locations. For golf, Kiva Dunes, definitely. That's in the Gulf Shores area. Across Mobile Bay in Mobile, you have the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail's Magnolia Grove complex, with the Falls course and the Crossings course. (see http://www.rtjgolf.com/courses/ for a complete list of these courses across the state -- they're all superlative). Cotton Creek/Craft Farms is a bit inland up near Foley, and I've heard it's good. Glenlakes is a decent links layout. It's in Foley, too. Jess

Thanks! I haven't been able to play that one yet. I've heard it's pretty tough and I was wondering how well it fit in with the rest of the Trail given that it was built after Jones' death.

Thanks, I might do that! I'll try not to slow you down much (just noticed your handicap -- lol).

Same offer stands if you come down here and want to play Capitol Hill or Cambrian Ridge. We have a couple of other good courses in the area, too (Emerald Mountain - Wetumpka, Lagoon Park - Montgomery). Jess

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
