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.

Expand  

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.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      It probably wouldn't matter if he stood on one foot — if he was still for a second, the water would likely recede and not be visible.

      The rules can t cover every possible situation, this one is reasonably clear.  How would you rewrite it to fairly cover the situation you ask, and would it be better or more consistently understood? I think the announcers saw spray from the practice swings, and ASSUMED that there must be standing water there.  But wet turf will produce spray.  And of course Faxon was a tour player, so he views it from a players standpoint.  But players often don't understand the rules really well.  Its a shame they didn't get an actual rules expert at that moment, we know the USGA had people available.

      Fair enough. By wiggly I just mean the bit about stepping hard or the like doesn't count. Like, what if the player says they plan on playing the lie with massive weight on the front foot and ball back in the stance to try ensure no bounce interaction to prevent the club getting sucked into the soggy turf before the ball, and it's only with ~80% of weight on the front foot that you can see water? But I was more wondering what the announcers were complaining about?

      Shot a 48, with not lost ball, no penalties, no bunkers, no 2nd short game shots, and no three putts.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Grizvok · Posted

      Day 5 - extremely long range practice session. Probably one of my best practice sessions ever. Doing things in slow motion is like 5x'ing the effectiveness of the practice. Also, I need these same "falling into lead leg" feels on my wedges. And guess what? Practicing this feel on shorter wedges is ALSO EASIER AND MORE EFFECTIVE. Combining much slower than full speed practice with shorter (50-90 yard) shot practice was really good. Change the picture on these shorter shots first. Feel like I'm keeping my arms as straight as possible on the backswing while hinging my wrists earlier is an incredible feel. I feel like this is doing stuff to my sequencing somehow? Much less rushed at the top because hinging was done at a reasonable time? One note someone made on my swing thread before I went on a hiatus was regarding this so I played around with it.  Clubs that don't require as much weight/pressure shift feel fantastic (driver/3-wood/hybrid), but that's almost always been the case.
