I am planning a week golf trip to St. George, Utah.   For those of you who live around there or been there for golf trips, can you help me what are my options?   What's the best time to go?   What should I budget for?   Things to do at evening after the golf?

Golf is fantastic in Southern Utah, St. George area. There are also many great courses just 20 minutes south in Mesquite, Nevada.         I used to travel there when I lived in Colorado and played during the winter months, for weekends and visit a golf buddy. Weather is   usually very favorable, with some windy days during the winter. Best months are usually fall and spring.

Golf rates vary during seasons, but most courses were reasonable. There's more entertainment at Casino's, live shows, restaurants in Mesquite. St. George offers good dining, scenic National Parks, but it's more of a retirement community.  

There plenty of golf packages online with good deals.

I played St. George, UT / mesquite, NV last winter.    Best course I played in St. Georges is called Sand Hollow (actually in Hurrican, UT ... really good bbq restaurant about a mile from Sand Hollow on main street of town) - awesome scenery (bring your camera).    red rocks are amazing.   Not a cheap course - tee time around $100, but worth it.   There are a handful of courses in St. George - most are $50-75 typical courses, but Sand Hollow has the wow factor.

Plan on driving an hour south & playing a couple Mesquite, NV courses (Wolf Creek is the most famous, and by far the most scenic I've played).    That's about $140, but worth every penny.  Ridiculously good Mexican restaurant right off the exit in Mesquite hidden away in a small strip mall - highly recommended (and I don't even like Mexican food typically)

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Day 22 (12 July 26) - worked on putting tempo today using metronome for accurate tempo. 
    • 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!
    • 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.
