Heading to Maine at the end of July to move my son out of his apartment in Orono.  Bringing my wife for her first visit to Maine.  Staying in Portland a couple of days, Camden a few days and then Bangor (where I'm from) for a for days.

Hope to get in 5 or 6 rounds over the week.

Will definitely play:

Samoset Golf Club - it's called the "Pebble Beach of the East" - Great Course, great views of the Atlantic.

Penobscot Valley CC - I used to be a member here back in the early 2000's, great Donald Ross course, he made a trip up 95 and designed a slew of great courses.  Augusta CC, Waterville CC (Mike "Fluff" Cowan was a member here and I believe an asst. pro at one time) , Portland CC, York CC, Biddeford Saco CC and a few others.

Kebo Valley - along with Aroostook Valley CC these are two of my favorite courses in Maine.  :beer:

Acadia National Park is in the background.

Hopefully I'll play a couple of different courses in the Portland area while I'm in town.  Going to see if my pro can get me on any of the private courses in the area, as I've played all of the public courses.  Sable Oaks has kicked my butt several times over the years.

Congratulations on the wedding!

I miss New England. Was not a golfer back 17 years ago when I lived there in Mass near Nashua valley, but am a sucker for courses with mountain view backdrops now.

Enjoy!

Nice man I'll probably be playing a lot of rounds at penobby June-July as well as Hidden Meadows which is my "kick Back and Relax" course nice 9 hole not to out of the way but just enough that you can play at your own pace without having to feel rushed. Hope the weather is good for you, today it's supposed to be 86 and mostly sunny!

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Day 22 (12 July 26) - worked on putting tempo today using metronome for accurate tempo. 
    • 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!
    • 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.
