Hello fellow Tampa golfers. I live Just north of Westchase, and I am looking to join a country club in the area. There are a ton to choose from, TPC tampa bay, cheval ,fox hollow, hunters green..etc. Is anyone part of a club in Tampa, and would you have any recommendations for golf clubs to join ? Thanks buds

I don't live in the area but it might be helpful to those that do if you provided more information.  What amenities are important to you for a country club, what's your price range, how far are you willing to travel?

Cheval pissed me off. They used a bait and switch tactic and false advertising.  I reported them to Secretary of State for that type of practice. Looked like a nice place but I don't have time to deal with that. I'd rather pay as I go at my own course. Maybe one day I will join a private course when I have time to golf more frequently. Good luck.

I think I posted on here about it before. They had a print coupon stating 93 percent savings on a two year golf membership. When you went and talked with them about it though it was a different deal entirely than a golf membership. Between two people I talked to about it I also got two different answers as to what was included (not much btw). While we were there though they tried to get us to sign up for a regular membership saying right now they were waiving the one time fee of like $2K etc...and showing you and telling you how much better a deal it was.  So really the flyer was a tool to get people to come in and try and up sell them and if they declined and were stupid enough to take the altered savings package they would still make a profit on those persons.

It was total bullshit and I called them on it.  I had correspondence with a director there and explained clearly as well as sighted the consumer protection acts they broke.  She kept responding how she said this membership provided significant value at a deep discount and my response was "but you are advertising 93 percent savings on a membership, however you can not calculate the 93 percent savings because they are two entirely different products and the product at the savings price is not listed in any literature"  I then calculated for her and showed her exactly how they are getting the savings and the proof that the savings was against the regular membership.  I had half a mind to force them to give me the membership at the marketed price but who would want to have to go there and give other business (food and beverage) to a company that is as unethical as they are?  I'm happy to pay as I go and it made me appreciate other places much more.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!

      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
