I am planning a golf trip for myself and 3 buddies and the best location for most of us will be Sea Island, GA. My friends will be driving from Tampa, FL and I am flying into Jacksonville so we can start the trip off with a round at TPC Sawgrass before heading to Sea Island. I would like to do 3 rounds in Sea Island then play the Harbor Town golf course in Hilton Head. 5 rounds in 4 days.

Does anyone have some recommendations on resorts or should we just get a hotel and play the nice courses? Is it possible to play Sea Island Golf club without staying there? Not really worried too much about costs, just need to know if anyone has done it and what the ideal spots are.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I'm pretty sure you have to stay at Sea Pines to play Harbour Town. I stayed and played there twice last year and it was fantastic. Rent one of their condos, its alot chiller with a group that way. Im not 100% sure but it never hurts to call the pro shop just to check.

I know where I live, You have to stay on property at Pinehurst Resort in order to play #2 but you can play the other 8 courses with out being a resort guest.

Thanks for the tips. 

We ended up deciding on Orlando since it will be warmer and flights are dirt cheap.

When we went to Harbour Town in 1989, we stayed in condos at Sea Pines, and you are right, it is the way to go.  God, I wished we had bought a condo on the Ocean that was selling for $90,000.  It is probably worth $600,000+ now.  I wish that I had not posted that.  I am going to my room to cry, and then to my favorite 19th hole to have a few drinks to forgetaboutit!

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
