Forum,

I love golfing as I am a member of this board.  I will be on vacation OCT 11-15 and hope there is someone in this area that would like to meet up and go golfing.  Price doesn't matter, and I will buy lunch before/after.  I don't mind playing alone, but love to meet someone new that knows the areas best courses.  My fiancée doesn't golf, so was going to send her on a spa/massage/mani/pedi day while I went golfing.

Let me know if you want to join up, meet up, or if you have suggestions on a cant miss course while I am down there.

P.S. This will be on of my final rounds before I have my hip surgery, so no golfing for a few months!!

Hey there,  Sorry I don't live in Florida but I would offer a couple course suggestions.

If you have the ability and time to get to Streamsong Red or Blue, they are some of the finest courses I've played in Florida.  Its about 60min to 1:20 minutes from Tampa airport.  Its a resort so the fiancee could enjoy a spa day while you play some amazing golf... but be prepared to walk as its heavily preferred that you walk not ride. BTW its a bit on the pricey side but you won't be disappointed.  The drive to the course may leave you scratching your head as its in the middle of nowhere!

For a value course thats also about 60 min from Tampa is Sarasota National Golf Course.  The value for this golf is really good and the few times I've played it they have discounted my rates when I mention I'm an out-of-towner and member of a Troon Course in Colorado.  Earlier this summer my junior and I played 18 w/ cart & 2 logo'd balls for $35.  They didn't charge me for my kid.

The best course in Tampa I've played is the TPC Tampa.  Its what u expect for a TPC course.  It will run you about $100 this time of year.

North of Tampa is the World Woods Course.  I've never played but I've had it recommended by many locals and visitors to the area.  I think its around $50 this time of the year.

Hope this helps and get to Streamsong if its in the budget and can fit your itinerary.

Where are you staying?  I may be up for a round, depending on work and whether my wife has plans for me on Columbus Day!  Let me know!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 16: range night! Worked on long game for about 40 minutes, with a good solid 20 minute focus on my priority piece. Things improving there. Bookended that with some wedge and driver work. Finished up with about 30 minutes of short game. Working on distance control and all types of shots and lies. Short game is probably as good as it has ever been.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By iacas · Posted

      You should be able to install it yourself, honestly. You could easily blow it on and use some one-sided duct tape or something so it stays in place. That's what I've done with one of my grips.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi all, My Edel putter seems to have developed a rattle.  I don't think it's a big deal, as I mostly hear it when I'm tapping down ball marks on greens.  However, I am debating getting it fixed, especially as I intend to play a lot of golf in August and September, and to continue playing regularly after that of course too.  My issue is I think fixing it would entail the fixer (golf shop repair station?) removing the grip and, presumably, applying a new one.  My problem is two-fold.   First, I like the grip on it, although after eleven years, maybe it's worth replacing.   The bigger (second) issue is getting the grip.  I don't like the flat-fronted putter grips anymore.  I have the round one on my putter, and I suppose I could buy one from Edel's website, but would a golf shop install a grip I bought elsewhere and brought in?  Or could they order one if Edel is not a supplier of theirs?  I don't recall ever seeing any Edel products in a Roger Dunn or PGA Superstore, although the era when I would go to a store and browse has long since ended (for better or worse).  I'd also wonder what the timetable is, as I'm leaving for a seven week trip in under three weeks. Any suggestions on what to do would be very welcome, whether about the rattle or the grip, together or independently.  Thank you!

      Gauging Wind

      By Shindig · Posted

      I'm glad to know that picking up grass and letting it go doesn't help.  It felt like it shouldn't, but I'm glad to hear there's a good reason why.  It makes sense that wind is different higher up than it is near the surface. For a while, I was in the habit of checking the prevailing wind direction before playing.  That helped if I wasn't sure.  However, I still am not really sure whether something is a 5% wind or a 10% wind (and, of course, I know that a "helping" wind helps about half as much as the same wind hurting).   One of these days, I'll learn how to figure out what to do differently if the prevailing wind is 10mph vs 20 mph.
