Dave, appreciate the tag and I hope you are doing well. 

It sounds like it may be a moot point, but I'm unavailable the week of the 13-19th. Enjoy your trip and I'll be rooting for some great weather for you guys. 

Are you planning to play Silver Rock again this year? I am actually playing there on January 2nd.

Well, it looks like there may be a few spots open.  On Thursday, Mary Anne jumped just a couple feet down from a trampoline, landed a bit hard, and broke her heel bone.  No golf for her, for at least a couple of months.  We're still planning on coming to Palm Springs, assuming we can work through the logistics involved, so we'll have 3 golfers in our group now.  I'll post more info when I have it, but Tom specifically mentioned the Sand Trap guys, so I hope I'll see one or two of y'all in January.  Until then, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!  Or happy holidays of whatever sort you choose to practice!

Thanks, Erik, we both appreciate the kind wishes. It  could certainly have been worse, at least she didn't need surgery. Just one more hurdle in life to work through.  She IS a little disappointed that her brand new Ping irons will have to wait a little while to be broken in.

The good news, we've figured out the logistics, and Mary Anne and I are definitely coming to Palm Springs in a couple of weeks.  She's in a cast, and can't put any weight on her left foot, but is coping pretty well with the crutches and  "knee scooter".  Without Mary Anne, we have 3 golfers, so we'll have an opening if anyone cares to join us for a day or two.   Our friend Tom has made it from the deep freeze of Virginia to Palm Springs.  He's planning to make tee times at the following courses, generally between 9:00 and 9:30 each day, if possible:

Sunday, 1/14   Tom's home course  -  The Golf Club at La Quinta or Indian Creek

Monday  -        Eagle Falls

Tuesday  -       SilverRock

Wednesday -   The Classic Club

Thursday -       Desert Willow

Friday, 1/19     The Classic Club

For @mvmac, @Golfingdad, @tristanhilton85, or any of the rest of you TSTers, let me know if you're interested.  @Big C, I know you're not available, but I'd be interested to hear your impression of Silverrock tomorrow.  I understand they did a little changing of the back nine over the summer.

Tom specifically told me to see what the TST guys wanted first.  He has a some friends around town he'll invite to fill in spots, but he's there for a few months, and I'll only be there for a week, so you guys get first pick.  Let me know when you can, and I'll pass the word along.  I am SO looking forward to leaving the deep freeze here!

I won't actually be able to make it as I will be out of town on my days off. 

Next year I guess.

I've been holding off for a couple of days because I really want to come out there Thursday or Friday, but I don't think it's going to work out for me this year.  Hopefully your buddy will be able to fill the spots, and I will catch you guys next year.

Thanks!

    • 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.
