Thanks for the reply.  We are actually staying acrossed the street for the weekend from Folly so I think we will spend a day out there since we can walk back to our condo.    My wife and I didn't get a honeymoon and this is our 1st trip since we got married so we made a reservation at Halls Chop house. We have a day and a half maybe 2 in Charleston to ourselves then the whole family will be in town.   Is there any cool bars or restaurant near Folly we should check out?

I was actually just in Charleston this weekend, at a wedding at the Country Club of Charleston.  And wow, that is an incredible facility.  We went out to Folly before the wedding.  Just one thing to note, if you leave Folly during the day, and the weather is nice, just be aware that it will take you around 40 minutes worth of traffic to get back on during the middle of the day.  Otherwise, you can just stay at Folly and enjoy yourself.

 

As far as places on Folly that are cool, I really like the Lost Dog Café, Rita's, and Taco Boy.

 

I also recommend having a few drinks at Loggerhead's.  Beware of drinking on the beach, as it is outlawed, just FYI.  It can be done, but be careful about it.

Well that's interesting. Up here drinking isn't outlawed on any beachs I know of.

I came on here to recommend Stono Ferry as well.  I've played a lot of golf around Charleston, but not Kiawah and not the private courses.  Stono Ferry is my favorite course down that way.

Charleston National is also pretty solid, and can be really tough if the wind is blowing, but sometimes is a bit over-priced.  IMO, Patriot's Point isn't worth it.  Wild Dunes is great, and rounds there are in the $100-range. 

Enjoy your trip, Charleston is a terrific city.  Some posters above have pointed out some great places to check out.  I HIGHLY recommend Poe's Tavern and the Sullivan's Island area in general for grabbing a beer, some good food, and hitting the beach.  Folly is the more popular beach, but it gets packed to the gills.  Then you have the world-class Beachwalker Park on Kiawah that anyone can go to.

 

I agree. Stono Ferry is my favorite as well. They have a phenomenal training facility and it is also the home course for the College of Charleston! Just a fun fact.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
