Well I'm taking the plunge, getting married in 4 months. I'm still in disbelief even though ive been engaged for over a year...

So I'm trying to find a nice place that is economical, not cheap but reasonable that will be fun for both of us (nice golf course is a plus for me) Getting married on Sept 19th, Was thinking about going east coastish but it really doesn't matter to me. I live an Iowa so anything is more fun than here ;) Cant go to Disney land, my son would kill me in my sleep.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

I gave her the best proposal of anyone ive met, and a pretty decent wedding so I'm scaling back the honeymoon hehe.

Economical but really nice...........Destin, Florida. You have the some of the world's most beautiful beaches, shopping for the missus and plenty of golf courses for yourself. You can stay at a $1K a night or $200 a night resort, your choice.

I was in the same boat...I am actually getting married on June 8th.

Destin is the place that we chose. She wanted to get married on a beach and I just wanted somewhere close to some nice courses. Destin was a pretty good option for both of us. I opted for a condo for 7 days which isn't real cheap but it is not bad considering.....

Definitely has a kitchen....she lives with me already so she is very accustom to cooking now

The good thing about the kitchen is you can go grcery shopping for the week and you don't "have" to eat out every meal...hopefully this will save some money....money that I can use for golf

Seeing how your seeking advise on this site, would Myrtle Beach be too much to suggest ?

Based on previous posts a condo with a kitchen too. I like the way you are thinking :)
You have to let us know where you go.

Come back and post a year from now and tell us how everything is working...

Does she golf? If not then personally I wouldn't choose a place to get my golf-in. this is a honey moon where both of you are supposed to enjoy every moment together . What is she going to do when you're out for 4-5 hours? Don't get a place with a kitchen either, go to a resort where she doesn't have to lift a finger.

Who am I kidding, go to myrtle beach (play golf every day), rent an apt and have her grocery shop your favorite meals, write her a card and tell her "Welcome to marriage, Enjoy"

You're braver than I...

I wouldn't be heading down to Mexico any time soon, but that's just me. (for the record, I went to Cancun a few years back, and did the all-inclusive thing, and it WAS the bomb!!)

Actually did Disney World and a carbibean cruise for a honeymoon. About 30 honeymoon couples were on board.

They are relatively inexpensive and the cruise includes most of the meals. Look for ones that have lots of days in port. I think the windjammer type are more interesting.

I think your marriage will be pretty short if you play even one round during the honeymoon (without her). Living together is not a free pass to making the honeymoon less than special. Sacrifices need to be made. This should be an easy one.

I haven't been on a honeymoon just FYI but I loved the Outer Banks. My family had rented a small house about a block from a sweet beach. We were right next to the Wright Museum and close to any small beach convience store for food needs. The golf is top notch (though I didn't get to play any on account of a broken thumb ) It was great, such a laid back attitude. We did a ton of stuff there too: kayak, windsurfing, fishing, boating, probably the best vacation ever

San Diego does not interest you? You have incredible weather, food, beaches and some of the best golf courses in the country. Plus, if you're going to play golf on your honeymoon, you better find a few places where you can have dinner on the water, a great view and impeccable service. Otherwise....

Seriously, though, take a look. I went to Tahiti for mine but since you're on a budget look at SD.

We're going to the Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso in Riviera Maya, Mexico. They have some great deals going on right now actually.

The resort is top notch with butlers and all inclusive service which includes free rounds of golf at their course when you stay a certain amount of nights.

Keep in mind that Sept is in hurricane season. I'd stay away from the gulf coast, just to be safe. I'd go to New Mexico (check out Grand Tamya Resort--good golf and spa)

Lots of fun things to do in NM. Golf, biking, gambling, hot air balloons.
Damn, I want to go right now.

      I don't have enough details to know what to tell you, man. If they were walking across, to play devil's advocate, maybe just wait another 10 seconds next time.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I realize the frame cuts off my tail but wanted to specifically see my hand path and club shaft and head travel from A5 to A7 with the grip and posture work I have been doing . This might be the shallowest I have managed to get the club head to enter into impact. I like the finish much more as well.

      51-38 Have You?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Context:  I used to play golf very regularly (and when I'm playing regularly, I'm on TST regularly).  In summer 2022, I got my handicap down to a personal-best 11.9.  Unfortunately, in the three years since then, I've had far less time to play, and didn't really make the time to practice.  I've played a bit more the past few months, and I anticipate having a lot more time to practice starting in about two months, at which point I'm hoping to go back to my old practice habits (practicing daily, Evolvr lessons, spending more time on TST (come to think of it, I can do that important last part now)).   But it was thinking about how different my nines have been a few times in the past month or so that made me wonder if there was a thread here about it, and sure enough, there was.  In the past month or so, I've had a 38-46 and a 45-39.
