Besides my regular game at my home course, once a year I get together with a group of 40 guys every April in Myrtle Beach.  This will be my 11th year but the core group and founding members will be on their 28th consecutive year.  This group started as a trio of brothers and their friends from Eastern PA but as the core group has moved around the country, the number of attendees (new friends, business associates, etc) has grown over the years to it's current number of 7 foursomes (about the biggest manageable number you can get off a course in a day).

The 2 brothers who spearhead this group have really done a cool job combining fun and a well organized week of activities/games with a sense of history and tradition.  At the end of each week, a "Green Jacket" is awarded to the golfer who performs the best relative to his abilities.  Lots of other "awards" are given including rookie of the year, ironman (biggest partier), and best dressed (tongue in cheek).

This year they have put together a web site that documents the weeks activities along with the various betting games that we play while we are down there.  It takes an accountant to decipher the scorecard at the end of a round in keeping track of all the bets but it really is a great way to spend a week.  The web site is here for anyone who is interested in seeing how one group runs their spring trip to Myrtle!

Sounds like a blast! We have a group of about 30 that goes to swan lake resort in Indiana every summer. If you're ever looking to switch it up and step up the quality of golf a notch, consider going a little further south to Hilton Head next time. You won't want to go back to Myrtle!

Wow. Great organizational skills you guys have. It's great to see such a large group of people come together to visit us in Myrtle Beach for their golf trip.  How do you work out the golf accommodations?

That's the beauty of the trip for me - I just have to show up!  ;)  One of the guys who organizes the trip makes all of the golf plans and I honestly have no idea how he does it!  My favorite track from this year was Willbrook plantation while the Big Cats courses we played were the bigger disappointments.

You have no idea how lucky you are:). I put together a trip for only 16 golfers each year and it's a pain int he A** trying to coordinate everything. We've been to Mb and it's a great time, glad you guys had a blast.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
