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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 16: range night! Worked on long game for about 40 minutes, with a good solid 20 minute focus on my priority piece. Things improving there. Bookended that with some wedge and driver work. Finished up with about 30 minutes of short game. Working on distance control and all types of shots and lies. Short game is probably as good as it has ever been.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By iacas · Posted

      You should be able to install it yourself, honestly. You could easily blow it on and use some one-sided duct tape or something so it stays in place. That's what I've done with one of my grips.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi all, My Edel putter seems to have developed a rattle.  I don't think it's a big deal, as I mostly hear it when I'm tapping down ball marks on greens.  However, I am debating getting it fixed, especially as I intend to play a lot of golf in August and September, and to continue playing regularly after that of course too.  My issue is I think fixing it would entail the fixer (golf shop repair station?) removing the grip and, presumably, applying a new one.  My problem is two-fold.   First, I like the grip on it, although after eleven years, maybe it's worth replacing.   The bigger (second) issue is getting the grip.  I don't like the flat-fronted putter grips anymore.  I have the round one on my putter, and I suppose I could buy one from Edel's website, but would a golf shop install a grip I bought elsewhere and brought in?  Or could they order one if Edel is not a supplier of theirs?  I don't recall ever seeing any Edel products in a Roger Dunn or PGA Superstore, although the era when I would go to a store and browse has long since ended (for better or worse).  I'd also wonder what the timetable is, as I'm leaving for a seven week trip in under three weeks. Any suggestions on what to do would be very welcome, whether about the rattle or the grip, together or independently.  Thank you!

      Gauging Wind

      By Shindig · Posted

      I'm glad to know that picking up grass and letting it go doesn't help.  It felt like it shouldn't, but I'm glad to hear there's a good reason why.  It makes sense that wind is different higher up than it is near the surface. For a while, I was in the habit of checking the prevailing wind direction before playing.  That helped if I wasn't sure.  However, I still am not really sure whether something is a 5% wind or a 10% wind (and, of course, I know that a "helping" wind helps about half as much as the same wind hurting).   One of these days, I'll learn how to figure out what to do differently if the prevailing wind is 10mph vs 20 mph.
