Here is the updated itinerary for my week...

 

 

 

 

...:-D

The family wants to kind of wing it and not commit to anything too far in advance in case of weather, mood, or whatever. Perfectly reasonable, just a bit odd for me because my wife and I like to vacation in Disney and we plan things months in advance.

Anyway I think the current plan is for me to decide on golf and they will work around it, so what's good for everyone as of now?

All I need is a few days in advance. Some days are a no go but let me know and I can let you know.

Weekend is definitely out for me. I'm coming up on Sunday and leaving the following Sunday, so Saturday will be the last full day and I'm sure they will want to do stuff together.

You mentioned earlier that Tuesday is good for you? I can go with Tuesday if everyone else can.

Tuesday can work. A late morning or early afternoon would be ideal. The latter being the best.

Are we playing Sable Oaks? I checked pricing and it's $32 before noon and $25 after for walking. The electric cart rentals are $16. I like walking but have never walked the track. I had a buddy who always got free golf there  :beer: .

I'm fine with Sable Oaks if others are, would prefer it actually since it's closer to where I'm staying. BTW you're looking at the wrong season. It's $38 and $33, not $32 and $25.

I usually prefer to walk, but I'm going to ride to save myself having to pack my pull cart.

@boogielicious are you ok with the location? Would early afternoon work for you?

@drmevo is Sable Oaks too far out for you to be able to join?

I think it will be a bit far for me to make an early afternoon time. Enjoy guys!

Doh. I thought that seemed cheep. I can see if my buddy in Portland can play if we don't have a fourth.

It's fine with me. I'm going to ride because of my knee, but I can bring my push cart if you want to walk. I can do anytime. I'm taking the day off.

I understand, maybe another opportunity will present itself in the future. Thanks for all your advice and suggestions.

Ok let's do early afternoon on Tuesday. How early can you make it by, @Valleygolfer?

No need to bring your push cart, let's just ride.

@billchao and @boogielicious my buddy Dave is going play with us. He used to be a member at Sable so he can help us with the track. He's a super nice guy and fun to play with.

Sounds good. Looks like I can make a tee time starting tomorrow.

I took a look on Game Golf at the course. Definitely looks tight with plenty of hazards. Key for me is going to be staying smart with my strategy and not getting aggressive, and of course executing shots.

Should be fun. I'll bring a dozen balls, just in case :whistle:

    • 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.
