Would be interested to get opinions on TPC Myrtle Beach from those who have played it.  What do you think?  Any better suggestions within 40 minutes of the airport (this round will be the same day we depart)?

I'm organizing a March Madness get away this coming March.  We're already playing Caledonia, and Long Bay (both of which I've played before and enjoyed).  Trying to decide on the 3rd course for our final day.

Much appreciated

I played TPC Myrtle a couple of years ago in March and it was not good. The course was in poor condition. We snagged a good rate on GolfNow but we got what we paid for. 

I highly recommend The Witch. It was packed (a good sign) and was a great track. We played late afternoon when the crowds died down.

Thanks for sharing your experience.  TPC seems like it's rated well, but some of the images I've seen and the flyover on YouTube did not look great, hence the question/post.

I've booked the trip since the original post, but we do have the ability to swap out courses for a while still.  I'll check out The Witch as a replacement option for TPC while looking at alternatives.

Yeah, it was a challenging track. I hope that perhaps I just caught the course at a bad time of year maintenance wise. I'll have to give it another go at a better time of year.

Hmm, Maybe I'll consider taking one for the team, and let you guys know what shape it's in this time around.

When we played the southern end our lineup was

Caledonia, Dunes Club, True Blue, Willbrook, TPC, and Prestwick.

The Dunes club and Caledonia are the best courses on the strand BY FAR in my opinion, we used to play them every trip regardless of where we were staying.

Thanks for sharing your go to courses.  This only my second time to MB, but I would agree Caledonia is a must play.  I'll check out the others you listed as well.

@Braivo @Lefty-Golfer Well, I'm back from my trip.  I wanted to share that TPC was in great condition, and I did enjoy the experience.  Nice clubhouse, amenities, and golf.  Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, thought the least I could do is share a follow up.

      "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.
