Hey, all!  Quick question with hopefully a few suggestions.

I'm looking to take a 3 or 4 day trip to Pinehurst this fall to golf and was wondering if anybody had recommendations for a travel guide.   You can book packages through the resort but the prices tend to be much higher than a few I've quoted.

Anyone ever use a service to quote this trip?  Good experience?

Thanks, guys!

If you've never been to Pinehurst Resort, you should check it out. They offer some decent specials in the fall and 30% off regular rates on some weekends. The restored No. 2 is incredible.

i agree with the bolded above but you won't get any bargains there!

Mid Pines - is great Pine Needles is great - Mid South is great - Southern pines is kind of a little old dog track but i liked it and is great place to have few beers and play for the 2nd 18 of the day.

Just passing along some useful information if anyone is planning a trip to the Pinehurst area.

Played there last fall with a group of buddies, it was our 2nd time to the area. In addition to the Pinehurst courses, there are plenty of other courses to choose from. But when we were there some were in good shape and others were in need of some repairs - apparently the heat from last summer caused damage to greens a many of the courses.

So anyway on our last day there we play Dormie Club and have Jimmie G as our forecaddie, nice course and Jimmie was a great guy. Turns out he has a website that lists the conditions at the Pinehurst area courses and the aeration schedule for most of them - his site is worth looking at if you are traveling to the area and don't want to play courses with greens issues.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
