the big 30 is around the corner for me (a few months away) and my wife and I had planned to go to Mexico for a week to celebrate. However, we are going to Jamica for her sisters wedding a few weeks later instead. I was thinking of asking (begging) for the two of us to go to a golf fantasy camp / golf school for 2 or 3 days. She is not a golfer AT ALL, but if the place was warm and had a poolside bar, she could be convinced.

Hilton in myrtle beach has a class for $1400 for two people (one non golfer)

Also, we have family in Orlando, so doing a 2 day trip in orlando would be convienent because we wouldn't have to stay in a hotel.

My questions are has anybody done anything like this? Has it significantly improved your game? Would you do it again? Which one did you do? WOuld you try a different one?

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

It may just be that I'm 14, and I don't have a constant income, but WOW that's alot of money to me.

I went to golf camp recently. (Where I won my first tournament) It was really fun. I made alot of friends as well, and learned a good bit about golf. Some of the teachers however lacked the ability to teach. They just showed us their swing and expected it to be copied. But the camp gave me alot of practice time, and I worked on the release of the club, and now I feel alot more confident in my swing. And yes, I would try and different one.

well it certaintly isn't cheap. but when you compare the cost of a nice all inclusive resort, a cruise, or any other fantasy camp, it puts the money into a much better perspective.

Last year when I was 15, I went to a Nike golf camp at UCSD.
Although the instruction wasn't that helpful, I improved my game a lot over the 6 days. My confidence improved a lot and I also learned to the enjoy the game more.

Have fun if you go!

I'm going here

thanks for the heads up. That is an amazing deal. I might try to hit that next spring.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
