I'm thinking of planning a trip down to Myrtle Beach either at the end of February or in early March. I'd love to bring my wife, but she doesn't play. But she loves the beach . Thus, I'm curious what the weather is like during that time for both golf and for beach (if it's no good for the beach she gets postcards .)

Thanks!
Andy

I did my golf trip to MB in February 2007, 17-19 or something like that.

It was forecast to be in the low 60s, but it if got above 60, the wind chill factor made it feel 10 degrees cooler.

Also, it was blustery. As a hardcore shorts-wearer on the golf course (gotta be downright brutal for me to don long pants), I spent three days in long slacks or windpants. It was acceptable golf weather, but a LONG way from beach weather, I am afraid.

Heaven is 630 a.m. Saturday morning, 65 crisp degrees headed toward a comfortable 80, first tee (elevated, of course) . . . and not another worry in the world.

Thanks guys. Looks like she'll be getting one of those "Wish You Were Here" postcards. Do you think cooler weather (50s) favors the conditions on any course over another? I'm thinking that the courses with a lot of water might not be as fun...

I was in MB February of 2006. I believe it was the 12-14th. We experienced very mixed weather. Like you said the highs are forecasted in the low 60's for that time period. We had 2 absolutely gorgeous days (highs in the mid 60's) sandwiched around one miserable one. We wore shorts for those 2 nice days but could not put on enough layers to keep warm the other. It started with a frost delay that pushed our tee time from 8:30AM to well past 10AM. Once we got out it didn't seem to bad. The first 3 holes (at Oyster Bay) are sheltered by trees. After that it got brutal. Most of the holes are lined by the bays and the winds off the water were cold and unrelenting. It was a beautiful course but in that weather was just awful.

I was told by locals that the weather is usually like that "if its cold today,it most likely won't be tomorrow' That stood true for our trip.I would say your good for golf but the beach is pretty much out of the question. Have fun!

February and March is good golf weather, but not really good beach weather. If you're looking for beach weather, then wait until May. Plus beginning on May 19th, 2008, the rates are at their lowest. Have fun.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
