Everybody might already know this and this may have been an earlier thread, but if you're going to Gulf Shores, if you book your condo with Gulfshoresrentals.com you get a free round of golf everyday from a couple different courses. You might get a sea breeze full of oil right now, but hey, its free!

Thanks for the tip, Jared. I suspect they're trying to lure as many folks to Gulf Shores ASAP, before the oil changes everything. Is Gulf Shores expected to get inundated?

Tragic to see what's already happening in Louisiana and Miss.

I believe about all of the gulf coast is "in danger." I hope they can get that mess cleaned up soon!

Looking worse by the day, Jared. I shudder to think how big this disaster could end up being when all's said and done. Could dwarf anything that's come before it.

Hope I'm wrong.

Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.

Im not sure if it's considered Gulf Shores, but there is a stellar golf course down that way called Kiva Dunes. If you're down there an it's included, I would definately suggest playing there. The first time I went, I met Valeria from Big Break III. Im not sure if she's still teaching there, but it's a good bonus to see her in person if you know what I mean

Some scientists are suggesting that the oil could get caught up in strong currents that run around the cost of FL. One even said that if enough oil made it in the current it would be working its way around the keys and up to the coast of Georgia/SC in 3 weeks time.

Scratch that.... as Eric pointed out on a different thread, I must have met Valeria at Bonaventure in Ft Lauderdale. Even so, Kiva Dunes is an awesome course.

I really hope the slick doesn't get back into this current that goes around Florida and the Keys.... it could be even more devastating to the wildlife.

I was down there in October and two courses include were Soldier's Creek(18 holes) and Glenn Lakes(27 holes). I really enjoyed Soldier's Creek because it was further out of the city and better scenery. Glenn Lakes was right in a neighborhood and I'm just not a fan of worrying about taking somebody's window out.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!

      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
