What's good and moderately priced in the CW-SP area? I was down there last spring and the only one we played was CWCC which was OK, if you like 5900 yard courses. I'm going to be there for a whole month, and I want to get in at least 4 rounds a week, when I'm not working.

we were there the first of december. we (wife and i) played the tides golf club. short, but at least interesting. it gave slow greens a bad name.
also, we played the bardmore. very nice layout. we played there a couple of times.
toward bradenton there is the river club and the river strand. i recomend both.

Try Mangrove Bay. If you're willing to cross the Sunshine Skyway, there's Buffalo Creek. Not as good as WW or Jovita, but hits the mark on moderately priced.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Mangrove Bay is the St Petersburg course of note. I play there each week. It's nice and 6656 from the black tees. Watch out for Rattlesnakes in the OB areas, ie dont look for balls in the bushes when it's warm out. I also just love the Rocky Point GC in Tampa just north of SR 60 and west of Tampa Airport. it plays 6315 from the blue tees. Then there is Airco a wide open course next to St Pete Clearwater airport. It plays 6678 from the Black tees. I have heard about Buffalo Creek but have not visited it yet. These courses usually are not hard to get on as a walk on single. These are low priced decent courses that won't beat you up but still interesting. There are 124 courses within a short drive (est 60 miles) from Clearwater. Look up the directory on http://tampabay.golfersguide.com for more info and phone numbers.. enjoy yourself.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 18 (September 22).  I understand the two club drill better, and was alternating that and hitting a few smooth 6-iron shots;  indoors, off a mat, into the net.  I spent about 20 minutes on this thus far tonight.

      I don't know your family or work situation, but have you considered relocating to Arizona?  I was out there the past month or so and played quite a few times;  it's hot, but not humid.   Or, if your house is sufficient size, consider setting up an indoor practice area, so at least when the weather or your schedule isn't cooperating, you can still hit a few. ... said Shindig, who has routinely disappeared for months, sometimes a year or more, at a time because of getting busy at work and just quietly sobs to himself as he walks past the room where his mat and net are during that time.  Dang, I need to not allow that to happen again.

      Thanks and it already has! Like I said, the last three months of my season were the best golf I've ever played. I'm within the realm of "this is fun for me" now. It was super tough grinding thru that break 90 consistently zone where I just kept hitting the toe, I kept popping up and out of every shot, getting steep. I am one of those guys doomed to shoot 95 forever if I don't really put a lot of work in, and I just wasn't gonna go out like that. My goal is definitely to get to that point of playing lots of courses and stuff like you are, but it's been the right thing for me to focus on developing a better motion. The amount of gym work too I've had to do? I see a DPT with TPI level 2 certification twice a week. I'm in the gym five days a week. The sun zaps the crap out of me for the gym too and I need that energy for all the other things I do on top of this stuff. I'm not really trying to become scratch either tho that would be nice! I'm just enjoying the puzzle that is golf, trying to overcome its challenges in an efficient and smart way. I'm very aware of the physical limitations I'm fighting so this summer has been continuing to address those with a good therapist.  But that's awesome, my goal is to get out there and enjoy new courses, play more rounds, just like you're doing! We'll see how this season goes, but I might be near doing that, if I'm not there already. I was only losing like one ball a round over those last three months or so, which is great for me on these sometimes tricky Florida courses.
