Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.

@jsgolfer won't be driving, he'll be riding in comfort in a cushy bus.     But I agree, looks like two bases with minimal long drives to each course.

Oh, @ConorHealy, maybe you don't know our history,  I went with him to Scotland a couple years ago, and was invited on this trip as well.  Sadly, I couldn't fit it into my budget this year, but I know he likes to travel.

A group I am joining is going to the R. T. Jones Trail in Alabama. Last week of March. We will be playing the RTJ courses near Birmingham and Huntsville. I am acquainted with one of the group. I will have 6 new friends, unless we get another 4, then it will be 10. 😉

Yes indeed, John will be driving the bus for 16 of us. Should be a wild and crazy time.

Sounds like the Newport Cup, and my trip to Scotland with @jsgolfer.  Its always good to make new golf friends!

Awesome. We were originally going to play Quail Ridge but ended up moving some things around and are going to do the following when we go in May

Day 1 Tobacco Road

Day 2 Southern Pines and Pine Needles

Day 3 Tot Hill Farm

There are a couple good course vlog/matches on YouTube at Southern Pines, it looks awesome.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.

      Keep us up to date with your findings, please.  I'm not looking for a putter, but I'm sure you're not alone in your venture to get the putts rolling better.
