I won a contest that includes two rounds at any of the 9 courses at La Quinta in Palm Springs. Anyone have a recommendation? I guess something not too difficult would be best, but I can sacrifice a little dignity for beauty.

I played Trilogy La Quinta in Aug 2007. Beautiful course, but I made the mistake of wearing a cotton shirt, and the heat was too much, even for me.

The La Quinta resort is great. I love the bungalo style rooms they have.

As far as the courses go. If you are looking for beauty over toughness, of the nine you can play I'd recommend the Mountain Course at La Quinta and the PGA West Norman course.

Thanks for your recommendations, guys. I booked the Mountain Course and the Dunes Course (the Norman Course wasn't available). I'll post a review when I get back.

You can't go wrong with that. Those are both right on the main La Quinta properties. Player friendly courses too. Bring your camera. The jagged rock mountains are a site to see for sure. And on that mountain course, you're playing right next to them. I think it's the 3rd or 4th hole, a par5, that's my favorite hole on the course. Its a dogleg left that you can play right over a corner of the jagged rock. Awesome stuff!

The Mountain course is great, you will love it. I haven't played the Dunes. But we'll be out there next weekend to play La Quinta and PGA West. I like playing in the morning, getting some lunch and then playing the $49 replay special in the afternoon, and any of the courses. We're playing Mountain in the morning and will probably play Dunes that afternoon. Sunday its Stadium and the hopefully Norman later.

      You're welcome to come on my lawn with any take you want, as long as you have facts that support your position. If you come on my lawn spewing nonsense and don't back it up with facts then yeah I'm going to turn into the grumpy old man and tell you to get off my lawn.   What facts do you have that support your claim that this isn't the toughest test of golf in the month of June?

      Is it Important to Hit Real Golf Balls When Practicing Swing?

      By GolfLug ·

      As someone who does this regularly (hitting wiffle balls indoors), I say yes but YMMV. A lot. I mean, it is better than sitting on the couch for sure. I look at as a bit of exercise that I enjoy than other forms of exercise. Just don't get seduced by how how well you are hitting it at home or in the backyard or the 'whoosh' of your air swings and think you have made actual improvement. Use video to monitor what you are doing. Air swings are practically useless.      +10

      I've made quite a bit of progress on my swing by hitting the "almost" golf balls in my garage over the winter. I can and do hit regular balls too but it can be a bit loud so often I just hit the foam balls into my impact screen.   I think plastic, foam, etc are better than no ball for sure.

      Is there a list of “takes that can just go away” somewhere on the site so I can avoid getting on your lawn going forward?  And if bolding and capitalizing a word isn’t yelling, try sending an email with a topic you don’t agree on to your boss, or his/her boss with a key word bolded and capitalized and see how that plays.  Have a good one buddy.

      Depends on the focus of your training. Feedback is a huge part of learning. If you do not know what you did wrong, then change is slow to non-existent. There is something to be said for repetitions, and bulk for reps. You want to be making reasonably good swings to ingrain decent habits. Let's say you want to turn more, then turning more is good practice. Doing a lot of that will help. Let's say you want to change your swing path from being across the line at A4 to flatter at A4. Then that still takes reps, but you will need feedback to know if you are even making the movement. Maybe you set up a rig that makes it so your club will bump into something if it crosses the line at A4. From rep to rep, you know what is good and bad.   Notice, none of these meant hitting the ball.
