I have talked with @Gator Hazard about trips the family makes to Sarasota/Bradenton area to see wife's family, but we haven't made the trek from DC in a couple years. Possibly 2017 tho! Rumblings of a spring break jaunt for a couple weeks but we shall see. 

I used to live north of the airport on Semoran Blvd (road someone mentioned recently in this thread) when I was stationed at a Naval Training Center in early 90s. Facility gone now tho but always have good memories of Orlando.

I like it here so far. I live off Semoran at University close to Full Sail University. Funny thing is. I lived in Reston, VA back in the mid to late 90s.

I am getting close to posting a meet up probably in April. Could do late March, will have to see what works best for everyone's schedules. Let me know when you may be heading and I'll try and set up for then. It's ugly Caribbean island and Hawaiian shirt outing. Maybe we can do Caribbean shirts vs Hawaiian.

Golden Bear Club is the Best Course we played while we have been here.  Conditions were great, weather couldn't have been better.  Staff were great, all in all a great way to end the year playing golf.  On to a better year in 2017!

I'll be in Orlando for 2 straight weeks at the end of Feb/first of Mar.  Will have a few "down" days between meetings so I'm hooking up with some buddies out of Tampa to play 72 holes over two days.  Last year we hit up Championsgate, Celebration CC, Orange Lakes and Bella Colina.  All were awesome except Orange Lakes.  Not sure where we are playing this year just yet.

Added bonus is that I will wrap up work around 2-3 PM every day so I'll be out on some course knocking around the ball.  Should get in 6-8 rounds plus a scramble that my company puts on over at the Waldorf Astoria course.

    • I agree.  I once played an inter club match, before the change,  and one of our opponents used a small flat seashell for a marker.  At some point, my partner picks up that shell, thinking it was just a small piece of debris.  An argument ensued, and to be honest I don't remember the result.  But requiring an artificial marker eliminates that kind of misunderstanding.
    • I think it's just to provide clarity. If you marked your ball with a pebble or a small twig, that's a loose impediment, and someone else could move it. An "obstruction" or a man-made thing, or an artificial thing, isn't a loose impediment.
    • Day 243 (2 Jan 25) - Grandson directed drills today - he wanted to hit easy pitches into the holes of the Martin bird house (had it at ground level) - it is doable but it calls for a perfectly executed shot.  He came close a couple of times.  For me it’s about distance control and such.  Drill two - me hit same foam balls to him while he’s in the swing saucer - into a slight wind…now it’s distance control plus anticipating the wind.  A fun exercise - got really close on a number of shots.  Drill three - take his youth Cobra SW and hit flops into to the foam ball basket while he was holding it. Great eye-hand work for him - wedge control for me.  That little wedge  works well.  By the end my junior coach was done and I was too….
    • Going to give this a try for a while and see if it sticks.  Day 1 Today was some full practice: 30 minutes of range work focused on coordinating weight transfer based on Evolvr feedback 10 minutes putting speed control work 10 minutes chipping practice with random targets 5 minutes bump and run work with 7 iron
    • Day 23: 1/2/2025 Had a great range session today. It was downright frigid this morning at the range, but the overhead heater made it tolerable. I started off working on my PPJ swing thought. Some slower, swings, somewhat exaggerating the movements. Then I switched focus and just hit the 6-iron about a half dozen times without thinking. I filmed two of these swings to send to Yoda.  After that, I worked my way up and down the bag (random practice... yay.) Hitting one shot with each club aiming at a specific target. I tried to focus on where and not how. Over all, I was pretty impressed with my results.  If you categorize each shot as either good, bad or good enough. I would say nearly all of them were either in the good or good enough category. Again, yay.  I'm going to do some more mirror work tonight, looking at my videos I think I can still improve what I'm doing. But over all, I was really happy with today's range session. I feel like I've had a giant leap forward in my swing. We shall see if the progress can continue.  Yay.
