Can we just go and hit balls at Roger Goodell's house?

Yea I'm leaning towards Sable Oaks if we are playing around the Cape Elizabeth area.

Somebody stop at Costco and pick up some toilet paper. :ninja:


We will have to sort out some details for our group, @boogielicious, @Valleygolfer, and possibly @drmevo depending on the location. Time, date, course, etc. Is everyone ok with a weekday round or is weekend preferred? How far would everyone be willing to travel?

Weekday is better for me. Weekend is family time.

Probably the Tuesday. I don't think I can drop my daughter off on a Thursday and be back in time to pick her up. I don't have much of a support group here or I would get someone else to grab her...

In a way it would be better for me to work around a plan after it is set.

Unfortunately weekdays aren't too good for me since I'm already using a good bit of my PTO already this summer, unless it's an afternoon and I can just take off early from work. Do you know what dates are possibilities yet?

It will probably have to be during the week, but not sure about the time yet. I'm trying to accommodate as many people as possible (myself included).

We haven't finalized any excursions during the trip so for now everything is open. I know my family wants to do whale watching and a lobster boat thing so that will be two days I'm unavailable, whenever we book those.

Sounds good, obviously do whatever works best for your vacation plans. If I can somehow make it once plans are set I will.

Whale watches are a lot of fun, but I hope no one in your family is the least bit prone to sea-sickness, or that you get a very calm day out on the water.  ;-)

Yea I read some horror stories...

Last time they all went whale watching was at my cousin's wedding in Cape Cod a number of years ago and they all liked it so they want to do it again. I missed it because I had to leave that vacation early.

Don't be too proud to take Dramamine or something. Unless you're on boats a lot, it can really help.

Yea everyone is going to take some as a precaution. My wife might be in trouble, she can get car sick.

Scapolamine patches are very effective too. She may need to get it from her doctor. Also, old sailing trick is to bring breadsticks or pretzels to snack on. For some reason, the salt and carbs settles the stomach.

Yes. He comes back to Chautauqua in the summers sometimes. :-)

    • 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.
