You should buy him a gift card to the finest Italian restaurant in town. I hear he likes Osso Buco.

I've heard lots of good things about Crooked Cat. Have you played there before? 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

FWIW, I don’t have much fun playing in Orlando summer weather either. Hot a humid drains me because I sweat profusely.

That’s the truth.  I once played 36 holes in 1 day in Orlando in July.  Totally wiped me out.

Yes, I've played both courses at OCN several times.  But we are playing the white tees, of which I've never played, so wanted to get an idea of the difference, as I normally play farther back a tee. Plus we're staying on the property, so that will make it nice.

July is pretty steamy down there. That's why I started this thread back in the day...

      Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress.

      Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!

      Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
