Just a few short weeks till we fly out to Orlando for 14 days . As previous are going to play a few rounds here and there and thank everyone for their past recommendations . Have decided on Falcons Fire , Panther lake /Crooked Cat  , The mickey Mouse course , and  Celebration . Might squeeze another in , will probably do the Disney walking 9 one evening . On that note what time does it get dark in October?

PS if anyone wants a round while in  London PM me .

My cousin lives 3 miles from Ballybunion.  I played there in 2008 and am itching for a return.  I remember buying 500 dollars worth of Goretex rain gear and gloves and I found 79 degrees with sun and not a lick of rain on the course!  What a memory! As a single they paired me up with a father/son and the sons best friend.  His friend was a low level tour player in England and played the tips.  I played up that day because I shot an 82 to his 69 but it was so damn inspiring seeing someone control that course! What memories.

I went to Ireland in a few years ago and played Ballybinion and loved it! My caddie was kind of a dick but the course was beautiful, the weather great and playing golf in 🇮🇪 Was a bucket list thing. I’d love to play it again.

my get up and go musta got up and went..

Kiva Dunes, Gulf Shores Alabama. Technically it’s a family vacation but all the guys golf so we will play Kiva and maybe one other course. 

Kiva is fantastic also Craft Farms, Pensinsula, Lost Key, Perdido Bag area courses. But Kiva is the most beautiful

It was nice for sure. We had some major winds that were brutal but it was pretty cool course.

I am thinking of 2019 as it has turned cold in Michigan. I will be in Las Vegas in January for a trade show. I usual get in a couple of rounds. My wife & I plan to spend February in the Gulf Shores area and hopefully I will get in 6 to 10 games. April will be a golf trip with a buddy for 4 or 5 days and in May/June a trip to Nashville and a few rounds of golf.

I am traveling now. I will be heading east on I-10 tomorrow sometime. Destination is not known as yet. Depends on where my wife wants me to pick her up on her return trip from PA. 

All I know is there are plenty of golf courses, RV parks in front of me.

Just to say it was great !  Loved the layout of Falcons fire , disappointed with Disney Magnolia ,  had some fun playing Highlands Reserve a real friendly course and  Celebration was good  . Best course on the tour though was Crooked Cat at Orange County National .

Heading to Pinehurst with a buddy 2 weeks from Thursday for a long weekend. Playing Talamore, Mid South, and Dormie Club.

The trip came up last minute and wanted to keep it on a budget so skipped out on the Pinehurst resort courses and Tobacco Road for now.

If the schedules work out we might play a round or have a drink with @DaveP043 who helped me narrow my course decisions down and gave me some local knowledge.

And as usual, I'll be going to Pinehurst for Thanksgiving week.  As is NOT usual, hoping to meet a TSTer, and we think it should happen  :beer:.  After that, I'll be back in Palm Springs in January for a week.

I played Magnolia the Saturday before Labor Day, was pretty wet due to all the rain they had. I thought it was OK though. Highlands Reserve is a fun track, I agree. Its been quite some time since I have played it as I moved from the area about 5-6 years ago. Celebration is a nice course, as are both courses at OCN but I've never gotten the good feels from the place for some reason.

My next trip will be Maui, I'm hoping to play at Kapalua before they close down the Plantation course for a renovation. I'm also looking to get onto King Kamehameha too.

Hope that goes well, I love Maui Golf, especially Kapalua.

This is My favorite thread, watching the Australian Open this week and in just over a month we have a round at The Lakes in Sydney secured. We are doing a cruise and bringing our clubs so here’s a quick rundown. 2nd port is Melbourne and we haven’t yet booked a tee time but plan to. Next 2 stops are small Islands but both have 9 hole courses we are likely to play. Then off to New Zealand 

Here we start at Clearwater GC, Christchurch, then  Kaikora GC followed by either Paraparaumu GC or Wainuiomata GC, have a game booked in Rotorua, and we end with a round at Titirangi GC, Auckland. 

Please let me know if you’ve played any of these. It’s just my wife and I and we look forward to peaceful Holidays. 

Aloha,

iSank

Hi, I live on a small island in the Pacific Ocean.

Newbie here at TST - headed to Montgomery, AL for a few weeks in Jan/Feb.   I'm planning to play 6-8 rounds - any "can't miss" recommendations other than the RTJ courses?

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
    • Wordle 1,013 2/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thought I was gonna be a big shot today...  🙂    Nice Job!
    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
