The wife has been looking around at a few places for a quick summer golf and spa getaway for us. During the search she came across The Ritz Carlton Golf Resort Naples. We normally wouldn't be interested in slumming it at a place like that but the rates are so good in mid June that we are seriously considering a three nighter. 

Tiburon Golf course is on location and they have some packages. Just looking for any advice or input on the course and resort; if people have stayed at this location and golfed this course. 

Let me know and thanks in advance!

I have not stayed at the Ritz but my dad and his buddies have played the courses at Tiburon, and they would highly recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a great course to play in Naples.  In June you should be able to play the Shark Shootout course at a great price.  Enjoy your stay I bet you will love the place!

I've played Tiburon about 10 years ago.  It was a great course.  IIRC, it is designed by Greg Norman.

You should definitely play it if you can.

She doesn't, still trying to get her interested. She had fun at TopGolf so there is hope. She is going to get pampered at the spa while I play.

Tropical storm Emily scuttled my golf plans for this morning. If you're going to sit around and sulk, might as well do it at the spa! Extra bonus was they are cutting power for a bit at RC Golf Course resort so they got us a room for the day at Beach property. IMG_0592.JPG

    • 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.
