Every year the owner of my company puts together a golf trip, and for the first year I have decided to join. Previous years were not far enough south to justify the expense, but this year is Orlando at the beginning of March. Well be playing Bay Hill, Hawk's Landing and The Ritz-Carlton Orlando. My co-worker (and golf buddy) try to travel south annually to get some golf in, so this year we jumped on the company trip. Definitely looking forward to playing outside again. Simulator golf is fine, but it's just not the same as walking 18.

Bay Hill is a nice walk with a caddie. I've never played Hawks Landing, but the Ritz might be a pain in the butt to walk. Also, if your courses are flexible, Tranquilo or The New Course at Grand Cypress is a much better bang for your buck kind of course IMO. Enjoy Orlando!

I doubt we'll be walking any of them. As much as I prefer to walk, when I travel I generally take a cart. Of the 100ish rounds I play per year, the only times I cart is when I travel or play in a scramble. Other than that, I'm walking.

As for the courses, the person that set it up has some sort of package deal. My buddy's parent's live in Kissimmee, so it's possible we'll stay an extra day and play somewhere else. Thanks for the suggestions.

I though Orange County National was much better bang for the buck than Ritz. I think we payed half for OCN and the holes were a bit more 'exiting'.

C'mon guys, I have no say in the courses. Stop telling me about the other ones that are better.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
