What are some of the best websites to book Golf Resorts, I live in the south east US and looking for a 4 day 3 night mini vacations. I can do travel trailers or stay in a room. Also what are some of the best courses around me. I live in North Georgia and like to travel less than 8 hours to stay.

Reynolds Plantation can be a tad pricey but has excellent golf, if you have not been. Or go to Hilton Head or Myrtle where there are excellent courses at all price points. 

Pinehurst is also close for you.

I was going to suggest Pinehurst as well.  You have a lot of choices there, from the Pinehurst Resort, MidPines and Pine Needles, Talamore/MidSouth, and lots and lots of other choices.  Other options could include Myrtle Beach, Kiawah Island, Hilton Head. lots and lots of options within a day's drive for you.

There are quite a few course here int he Augusta/Aiken area.  Gordon Lakes GC on Ft Gordon is a great course.

Then there are the various courses in and around Augusta such as Forest Hills, The River Club, The Patch, Bartram Trail, Jones Creek and more. .  Aiken has several courses, Aiken Golf Club, Cedar Creek,  Woodside Plantation and Palmetto Golf Club.  All of these are well within driving range with affordable prices.

    • 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.
