Going to Orlando in February and staying at Orange County National.  I've played the courses there several times, but haven't stayed there for a golf trip.  Flights to Orlando right now are ridiculously cheap, $75 dollars RT from Dulles.

I managed to get to Coeur D'Alene in July, played The Wynn in October and PGA West Stadium over Thanksgiving. I had an epic lineup of trips lined up to Pinehurst, Sand Valley and Bandon lined up for 2020 but we know what happened there. However, I do have Pinehurst and Bandon back on the docket for 2021 so we'll see if that holds. Its been a long time coming.

I need to play OR golf in general. With Bandon and a ton of courses around Bend, I really need to make a trip out there.

My yearly trip to Palm Springs in January is on hold right now, due to Covid concerns and California policies.  We may go later, if the situation improves.  After that, the next trip is likely to be to Wisconsin in June (or is it July?), to Sand Valley.

My January group to visit there is also postponed, but many if not all Palm Springs area golf courses are open.  Food and beverage isn't doing very good though, mostly outdoor sitting or closed.  However, three of us will be over there this weekend.


Yes, I had no issue in Palm Springs over Thanksgiving with tee times and such, I even walked on one course in the afternoon (though it was actually Thanksgiving Day). All dining was outside but I know that might have changed last week.

My next golf excursion won't be until the golf course restaurants, lodging and bars are open again.  And I don't have to wear this mask.  July?  Everyone please get vaccinated.

Understood, though I was traveling alone so it was easy to keep my distance. While the dining thing is a bit of a hassle the temperature for being outside was perfect. Also, the Monte Cristo at The Classic Club was outstanding. 🙂

I was thinking Pebble Beach again or Torrey Pines and staying at the lodge.  The heck with the Monte Cristo... I'm going for the Lagavulin after 18 holes.

We've always had good food at the courses, Classic Club is right up there, Desert Willow has good food, we even stayed for dinner at Rams Hill.

What is (was) your "in" to Cypress?

The course I belong to is highly ranked and can usually get us on most places.  Cypress is stubborn, you must play with a member.  No amount of reciprocal discussion worked where it usually does.  So my in did not work.

    • Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress. 
    • Day 130: did a stack session. 
    • Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20. 
    • Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!
    • Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
