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.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      Got your hopes up a bit too high only to have them dashed today? A feel "expired"?

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
