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.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
