Spent last week in Chattanooga and got to play a few courses that I think are worth mentioning and recommending.

Played Wind Stone, Moccasin Bend, and Council Fire.  All three were challenging and in very good shape...Played Wind Stone and Moccasin Bend on days that were pretty breezy and Council Fire after a heavy rain the night before.

If you are going to be in Chattanooga and want to play, I would recommend any of these courses...

Reviving a very old thread..It's posts like this, even old ones that help someone down the road.   

The wife is looking to drive to Sarasota, Fl possibly the third week in February for two weeks.   10 hours in a car would be her max.   From our abode to Chattanooga, TN is close to the 10 hour trip.    I am taking my clubs, she wants a day spa or something relaxing (non-golfer).     

What's the weather like around the 3rd week of February, recommendations or comments on the courses that were listed by @Osnola and can I get recommendations for golf courses near Sarasota.   

The trip isn't a definite one but a high probability.

As it gets colder, I've toyed with the idea of taking a long weekend down that way.  My own frugality hasn't allowed it yet, but I've had a decent year and could probably afford it.

The thinking is that it might be just far enough south to be comfortable and just north enough to be inexpensive.

I was thinking about the week after Christmas though.

If you are stopping in Chattanooga - Sweeten's Cove is a must. It's only a 30 minute drive.

Just across the TN-GA line, Nob North is a great course to play.  It's not far from Chatt; just take 75 down and come back up.

You can also check out Bear Trace at Harrison Bay.  I played high school playoff golf there.

Very nice.   We've booked the Sarasota week in February and will probably hit Chattanooga either on the way down or back home.  Thanks

Afternoon all,

Looking for some recommendations for a couple courses to play in the Chattanooga area. My daughter has a volleyball tournament in Atlanta and we're stopping in the area on the way down.  Staying right off I-75 and Lifestyle Way if that helps for recommendations.  

Hoping to play a round with another volleyball dad the afternoon of Wednesday, March 31st and morning of Thursday, April 1st while the girls enjoy the pool at the hotel. 

I see Brainerd Golf Course and Brown Acres are very close by. Worth a go?

Thanks in advance.

Driver - Callaway Epic Flash, 3 Wood - Callaway Mavrik, 4 Hybrid - Callaway Big Bertha,

Irons - 5-AW Mavrik Pro's, Putter - Odyssey White Hot OG 1, Ball - Callaway Chrome Soft

      Same here. Seems quite a few of my fundamentals had strayed and Erik had to get me back on track. It was kind of surprising how bad I had gotten off.

      I would like to point out I was not complaining about hot summers;  rather, I enjoy them.  It's the coming cold cold winter I'm about to face that worries me.

      From late 2022 until a few months ago, I barely played (maybe two dozen rounds, total, and only four rounds in 2024).  I had my first lesson in ages (Skillest, with Erik) and grip was part of it -- mine really did get into a bad spot, and I had to (and still have to) practice the new one.  It still feels odd, but that's a good thing when adjusting (otherwise I'm probably doing the previous).   I'm going back into the office for the first time since then and I'm tempted to take a small section of pipe, keep it in a desk drawer, and periodically take it out to practice my grip.

      Great episode on GAPs. I agree 100%, this needs to be consistent. It is something you have complete control over to a high level of repeatability and precision. It is such low hanging fruit as well.  My own tendencies.  Grip - Can get too strong. I tend to not get much grip with my left pinky, and the grip can feel like it slips more into the palm. I mess around with grip size and tap wraps. I wonder if I need to get away from a big taper.  Stance - Use to be too far right. I noticed, for the first time ever, I was aiming too far left on the course last week. It was like 5-10 yards left of the target, not 20-30 yards right. Overcorrection. 🤣 It is getting better.  Posture - Way better now that I stretch and work on mobility. I could tell years ago that if I tried to keep my knees less bent, get more on the balls of my feet, I felt a stretch in my calves and hamstrings. Now, I don't, and it helps. I think people might avoid that stretch feeling because it might feel unnatural. I used to be head up as well, looking too much down the bridge of my nose. I still can catch myself doing that, especially on shorter irons. I think I have average ankle mobility. I do have to use elevated heels when I squat at the gym, or I tend to fall over forward.  I agree, if you are not practicing this then you can become lax. For about the entire first half of this season, I was just waltzing up to the ball without aiming. I still catch myself being lazing. I have to step back and actually aim. I think adding this into your practice sessions is easy. Just do it before ever rep at the range. Just make it a conscious effort on the course.  For the tee shot, the only time you can kind of use an alignment aid (other divot or maybe something is lying on the ground). I tend to use that to help me aim. I try to imagine a straight line that I align my body to.
