Ok i have a really big descsion that i have to make in the next couple of weeks. Im going down to Dsiney with my family in July and me and my dad were going to play at least three rounds when we were down there. WE were going to play Falcons fire and two disney courses, and then last night my dad threw the curve ball ot the century at me.

He said that he wouldn't mind ditching the family for a day and going up to Ponte Vedra and playing TPC Sawgrass, Stadium!!!! The catch was that it would be the only golf we would play when we were down there. Now i have to make a descision: A. Play one of the best golf courses in the country. or B. play a bunch of really good courses.

What do you guys say, play a bunch of good ones or the great one and sacrafice the rest?????

Do you want your wife to be pissed at you everyday for leaving and playing golf on some courses you could play anytime or do you want to say hey go have a girls day im going to play a course I will not have the chance to play again and not get in trouble. I would go for Sawgrass. Bring back the story of No. 17.

The Disney courses are real nice. But I would have to go with Sawgrass, it's legendary. Plus, you can watch the Players and remember all the holes.

Definitely Sawgrass. Oh don't forget bring the camera with you. Take pictures on every holes, on the tee box, while you're on the fairway, and on the green too (watch the pace of play though). Have your dad take yours when you're in action. Later in the evening or the next day choose few of the best to have them framed and hang on the wall in your room. Simply a golf round to remember.

Considering this is just December, and you live in the northeast, I would play as much golf as I could. Sawgrass will always be there. Why not spend several days playing golf with your Dad. I'd take time like that spent with my Dad over any one course any day of the week. Besides, how often in the next few weeks, up in the northeast, will you have the chance to play golf three times? Have fun!

Play some good ones and skip Stadium for now.

Two reasons: * You're playing with your dad. That's gotta be awesome in itself, I hope. * Stadium can be another trip when you're older. Maybe a golf-specific trip, maybe with your dad, maybe some friends, whatever. Play as much as you can since you can't back home. If you were coming from Los Angeles, I might say try Stadium.

I'm with Shindig, but with a twist. Play the Orlando area courses, have a great time, and then say "Dad, TPC would just cap off the greatest week in my life" and see what he says.

Well the descision has been made.

Im going to Ponte Vedra!!! Also my dad said that if i do in my AP class then he will leave the window open for more golf during the trip.

Thanks for all your advice, i was leaning to not playing sawgrass until you guys set me straight. Now im going to practice so i dont absolutley suck when i get there. Eagerly waiting till July.

I had a feeling your dad would cave (he's a golfer)...you know he wants to play in Orlando too. You better get the grade!

Will he let you go off on your own to play? I know you're only 15, but will you be 16 by then, and would he trust you with the car?

Try to get out on your own some day as well. But I would DEFINITELY take the Sawgrass opportunity.

Well the descision has been made.

If you do what in your AP class? And which AP class? There might be folks on the board who know the material and can offer help if you need it.

Will he let you go off on your own to play? I know you're only 15, but will you be 16 by then, and would he trust you with the car?

It might be a rental car in which case, I think you need to be 25 to drive it.

I have to well in my AP class, sorry for the typo. Its AP European History and im a sophomore. Right now i have a 68 in it and thats the 6th highest out of 25 so ill get a 89 when everything is scaled at the end of the term. Basically the median grade in the class is a 60 because its a collge level class that you take every day. So the workload of that class and all other honors classes makes the grades not so good. My teacher always makes the median at the end of the qtr a 85. The only thing that is important is that i do good on the AP test at the end of the year.

And when ill be in Florida i will be 16 and 3+ months so ill only have a permit.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
