My wife and I are coming from the UK to at end of February to play Sawgrass...

is it as good as they say? We will be booked on the Stadium and Valley courses...is there any where else nearby that we MUST play?

What is the local area like to visit?

i've played sawgrass' stadium course twice. it is as great as they say; even better now after the tweaking that dye did a year ago or so. without question, you'll remember 17 forever. you may also remember how difficult it was. and finally, you'll likely remember how expensive it was. but you won't regret it.

as for other courses in the area. you ask the question with emphasis on "MUST" play. in my opinion, there is not another course that you MUST play. there are several, maybe dozens of, other good, even very good courses such as the courses at the world golf village in st. augustine. you'll love the valley course as well, very nice. the whole sawgrass complex is amazing.

regarding "things to do", there's not much other than the golf hall of fame, again, found at the world golf village. so if you're decision is go site-seeting or play another round or two of golf, i'd definitely choose golf and probably would send you to world golf village where you could play a couple good courses and hit the hall of fame. palencia golf club is probably my favorite that i've played outside of the sawgrass complex. and don't get talked into playing "old" sawgrass across the street from the stadium/valley courses, not worth the 1 minute drive.

i believe we have some posters from the area, so they should be able to help out even more....

these are a few of the courses i've played in the area:

King & Bear, World Golf Village St. Augustine, Florida
Palencia Golf Club St. Augustine, Florida
TPC Sawgrass - Stadium, Valley, OldPonte Vedra, Florida
Cimarrone Golf Club Jacksonville, Florida
St. John's Golf & Country ClubSt. Augustine, Florida
Slammer & Squire, World Golf VillageSt. Augustine, Florida

      Discipline

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      Great post and I agree with almost all of it. The discipline piece is real — most golfers want the result without the reps. One thing I'd add: there's a version of discipline that happens away from the range too. The 20 handicapper who texts the next day with a full-speed video — that's not just a practice discipline problem. That's an identity problem. He still sees himself as a 20 handicap who's trying something new. He hasn't made the internal shift to being the golfer who practices with intention. I work on the mental side of the game and what I've found is that the golfers who actually stick with the slow, boring, disciplined practice are the ones who've done some internal work on who they believe they are as a golfer. The ones who quit after two range sessions never changed the story they tell themselves. They're still running the old software. Discipline isn't just "will you do the reps." It's "do you believe you're the type of golfer who does the reps." That belief piece is what separates the ones who text you the next day with a full-speed swing from the ones who actually put in the work.
