@Bucki1968 did you use any online specialty services to book? Looking at Myrtle or Hilton Head for April 4 or 6 golfers. This would be 2nd trip planning. Only did 3 guys to St Augustine. That was a pain mainly due to only 3.

Headed to Red Sky GC in Colorado in a couple weeks.  Have been in UT ten years now, and unfortunately this is only my first golf trip to CO.  Really looking forward to it.

No I didn't use any online services. I just called the resorts/golf courses and got tee times. Actually didn't cost as much going that route. I got a multi-round discount at Sea Pines and got Oyster Reef 25 bucks cheaper than Tee times USA rate.

My parents are talking about letting me go on a fall break trip for the freshmen in PGM.

We would be going to the outer banks in NC to play. Four rounds at The Currituck Club, Nags Head and Sea Scape. I don’t have all the info about the trip but it’s definitely something I’d love to do.

In mid-January I am headed to Fort Walton Beach, FL for a month. Any suggestions on reasonably priced courses?

It looks like the City of Fort Walton Beach has two golf courses. The rates don’t look too bad. I suspect the courses are not “tier 1” but I alway feel comfortable at muni’s.

Heading to Orlando on Friday, got a full schedule for golf.

Disney Palms, Magnolia (14 holes), Lake Buena Vista, Eagle Creek, Championsgate (2 courses), Hawks Landing, Grand Cyprus and Orange County National (2 courses).

There is only me and my Dad, for Saturday, Sunday and Monday, if any Tst’ers want to join, if people haven’t joined our Tee times already. I think the tee times are around 8:30 each day

I’ll be down in Mesquite, NV for the first weekend in March.  My daughter has a high school softball tournament there so the wife and I will be taking the clubs to get a couple rounds in between Thursday and Sunday.  It will be nice to get away from all this snow for a few days.

I'm going to go play a small tournament over a long weekend in Vegas in early March. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

@jsgolfer planned this one, we're playing all of the most famous courses.  I've played a couple of them before, but I think the biggest thrill for me will be 36 at Muirfield, including lunch (wearing coat and tie) and afternoon foursomes (alternate shot).

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
