You can probably get to Orlando, FL easily from anywhere in EU.  A resort the wife and I have stayed at a few times is right in the middle of everything is Villas at Grand Cypress.  Right in the middle of the entire Disney area, but because its a golf resort, it seems completely isolated from the tourist attractions.  You are still close enough to see the fireworks/laser light shows each night at Disney Epcot Center from the patio of your villa.

Golf:  This is a 45-hole Nicklaus design facility.  It's also a teaching academy.  You have full use of all practice facilities, free balls all day and night long.  It has about a dozen practice putting greens as well.  It's a great place to relax (not a lot of kids running about) practice your golf game and play on 3 Jack Nicklaus Design courses.

The Pinehurst/Sandhills area of North Carolina should be on your list of areas to check out - Pinehurst resort is great, though expensive - there are many other courses to play in the nearby area.

Just over an hour to get there from the Raleigh NC airport.

Bandon, hands down. It's a trek to get there, but its some of the most beautiful land in the country.

Not to mention the only place you can play 4 Top 100 Courses in the US on one property.

    • Day 10: 2/16/2025 Just like yesterday I spent several 5-10 minute sessions working on what I learned on Friday.  My new priority pieces. 
    • Day 26 (16 Feb 25) - Basically a repeat of yesterday- only it was a bit more expanded chips/pitches - 7i, 9i, 50° and 58°.   Big exception was I was hitting groups of 5 one club at a time.  Focused on a specific target point - and coming smoothly through the ball, not punchy.  Got it right about 3 out of 5 - more work needed. 
    • You probably haven't turned much and instead have just pulled your left arm across your chest.
    • Things didn’t work out with the cutting horse barn my wife was working for there in Virginia. Their Texas facility we were supposed to move down to ended up delayed for at least an extra year after they’d had us leave Virginia to meet them down there “shortly”. So we ended up getting some land by her family in Missouri and building a house of our own down here instead. Not as many courses, but there is one 5 minutes from the house that’s only $62/mo for both of us to be members at and other nicer ones within a reasonable drive as well.    @Rick_D I’ll try to remember to let you know when I’m heading up that direction. It may happen more frequently in the coming year since a dealer for a business I started recently is based out of St Charles so making deliveries myself might be more economical than shipping. 
    • I don’t know why my swing got so vertical there. That wasn’t normal.    What did you mean by point 3? I get the hip turn portion.
