Anybody ever play the RTJ Trail in Alabama?  If so, do any courses stand apart from the rest?  Thinking of booking a trip for March and I'm wondering what the temperatures will be around then.

I've played Highland Oaks in Dothan, AL. It's in the SE corner of the state and is usually very nice there that time of year.

I have played one up in northern Bama, we enjoyed the game but previous rain (spring) made it a difficult game in a beautiful setting. We will go back and keep playing all the RTJ courses while we are able. It's just a long haul for us to get there so it's always a side note to some other excursion. We got book on all the courses but i cannot find it tonight.

I have played the Crossings and the Short Course at Magnolia Grove.  I enjoyed playing both.  I have also played the Ridge at Oxmoor Valley.  As far as the weather goes it could be hit or miss in March.  So far this year the weather has been nice and warm but we could have another cold snap or two. If you wait until the later part of March you should be fine weather wise.  Especially the southern Alabama courses.

Most RTJ complex's have two unique 18 hole courses which one will have Bermuda greens and the other would have bent greens.
Also, they have an 18 hole par three course that are fabulous to play.

Two courses are very incredible, one hosts a PGA event - Grand National and Ross Bridge is a very nice resort course with an incredible hotel.
Oxmoor Valley was one of my favorites. They all play differently and are very challenging.
We usually play 36 holes each day, sun up till sun down in the fall.

Each year we hit two different destinations and I would suggest play any of them, you will enjoy the golf and scenery.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      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.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By iacas · Posted

      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.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By Shindig · Posted

      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!

      Gauging Wind

      By Shindig · Posted

      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.
