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.

    • Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.
    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?
