First, 'm sorry for not posting more, I do a lot ore reading then I do posting. I know the site wants more contributions and I'm going to try to improve on that.

I've been looking forward to this all year. Every Dec I go to the Cochella Valley for 6 days of golf. I arrive tomorrow. Golf starts Sunday when I play my yearly blood match with one of my best friends at Indian Springs.

Monday my brother will come into town and we are playing Silver Rock. He may stick around an extra day and play a round at  different course on Tuesday. Wed,-Fri. I'm wide open and will play a few of the other courses in the valley. A full report of all courses I play will follow when I get home. If anyone would like to get together for a round I'd be up for that, (I'm an 18 unofficial handicap). Just send me a mssg here.

Well guys and gals I'm back. This year was better then ever. I was only able to get in 5 rounds in 6 days due to a car issue on one day. Also weather was coming in over the pass back to San Diego so I left on Friday after noon vs. Saturday.

What can I say about the Cochella Valley you haven't already heard. I played Indian Springs twice, Silver Rock once and Indian Canyons twice. The pictures are of Indian Canyons, this course is now my favorite of the valley with green fees at $75.00 in December it is also one of the best values I've found in the years I've been going there.

Anyway on to the pictures, I'm not trying to make any one jealous but if I do, well that  is just a bonus *Big Goofy Smile Here*

    • 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.
