I'm a little late to this thread but, WOW! Sounds like the dream trip of a lifetime, and you got to meet The King! That has to be the topper of all toppers! I've never taken an extended golf trip, but we kind of do the same thing locally utilizing Golfnow and Golf 18 Network. We like to play new places, and these have enabled us to get on places we formerly couldn't. We always make sure there's a really good restaurant nearby, and make a full day of it.

BTW, I have a golf towel from Orange County National. I found it in the rough to the right of the 18th tee on the North Course at Mill Creek Park Golf Course in Youngstown, Ohio! This was on the day after Thanksgiving, our last round of last year. I have no idea how it came to be there. I wandered over there to take a pee (no, I couldn't hold it), and there it was. I flipped it over with a stick to make sure someone didn't take a dump there and wipe their butt with it! Once it dried out, I laundered it and it is the thickest, heaviest, thirstiest, most substantial golf towel I own! Heck, I have bath towels that I paid good money for that don't compare!

Wanted to bump this as the 2017 Orlando golf trip is scheduled to start this coming Sunday. Bella Collina, Bay Hill, 36 at Grand Cypress, Tranquilo Golf Club, and Waldorf Astoria. This year the average handicap going is a 9 so it should be pretty competitive. Ill be sure to post a recap when we get back from the trip.

A good mix of courses, and the weather should be great for you!  Have fun!  

One recommendation.  Check with each course in advance to ensure that they're not going to be aerating.  It's that time of year...   ;-)

We booked all of these a while ago. Good call. I didnt even think about aerating.

That sounds like a great trip, tough to beat last years, dang, hanging with the Man and all. But your off with a solid plan. Look forward to the report. 

My wife seems to end being my golf buddy on most of my golf trips. Used to be my brother then he got busy but it's good fun with the dear one since I usually win the long drive competition.

We have a pretty crazy spreadsheet with all the side bets on top of the modified stableford game. It could be expensive, but it will be fun either way.

      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

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.
