Nice, I'll call in the next couple of days and book a tee-time. I don't think they accept tee-times until 5 days prior. Looking forward to it!

Interesting to sample a thread and I'm familiar with all the courses.

For one round in Miami I'd play Biltmore. It's such a classy calming atmosphere driving through Coral Gables with all the overhanging trees and Spanish architecture. Great majestic hotel which dominates the skyline. The track is a Donald Ross design from the late '20s or '30s. They played pro tournaments there decades ago, ending early '60s. It still hosts the Junior Orange Bowl.

Crandon Park is an excellent course that I've played often but it's not memorable, IMO. I like walkable tracks. Crandon often has absurd distances between green and the next tee.

Melreese is adjacent to the airport. I preferred it before the major renovation which basically removed trees, jacked up prices, and made everything greener but less interesting. That used to be the epitome of a local wise guys course with basic facilities and sharp old timers hanging out in the little snack area.

Miami Shores retains some of that. I like that course because I inevitably start fast. In high school matches I was inevitably under par after two or three. Someone mentioned the overhanging restaurant with the view.

I appreciate the old style Miami courses that have not insisted on lengthening holes. We're at sea level with bermuda rough and brutal afternoon winds. Too bad the executive courses are gone. I loved to sharpen my iron game and pretend plenty of chances for that elusive hole in one.

Hey man, Pembroke Lakes is hosting a tournament on Friday, so no play then. I'm going to play Jacaranda East in the morning, and Plantation Preserve in the afternoon. Let me know if you are still interested in joining for either one.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
