Any other food or drink choices that stood out?

As I'm sure you know, the pigskin pickin meal Friday night was very solid and they gave you huge portions. 

We found a new favorite cocktail too after talking to some other golfers called a Transfusion, if I remember right, it consisted of vodka, grapefuit juice, grape juice, and ginger ale, it was delicious. They didn't skimp out on the pours at Talamore and Mid South too.

Friday after the pigskin dinner we went over to Southern Pines Brewing for a while for some beers and ended up getting some late night tacos from the food truck that was there called California Taco, he had some great chorizo and a really spicy red salsa too.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, they always do a great job with the BBQ for those.  But I absolutely HAVE to correct your wording.  In Carolina (that OTHER state is South Carolina) they have "pig pickins".  They're traditionally done with whole hogs, but I know that at Talamore they're usually done with butts (as shoulders are called).  The good ones serve some of the crackly skin, which is a great contrast to the tender meat, but its not pigskin pickin.  Its OK, though, I was a Yankee for a while once.:beer:

I haven't been to Southern Pines Brewing, its on my list for next time, nice to hear about the taco truck.

And THAT one really IS a whole hog.  Every time I've been around, including the Newport Cup, they had done shoulders.  

Have fun!

Dang, we just scheduled a visit for 8/13-8/19, and remembered your post.  Looks like we're just going to miss you.

Dang it right Dave. Can't you just stay one more day. 😉

I can't remember which unit is yours but I think one of our groups might be staying in it. So then you have to get out...lol.

Would have been great seeing my yellow ball challenge partner.

We're in 1625, upstairs across from the red team's unit.  I don't think anyone is scheduled to be in there the weekend after we we leave, but I could be wrong.

We actually were booked pretty solid, and asked if it was possible to move someone around without splitting up larger groups.  I'm just happy they could make it work for us, couldn't be picky about the weekend.

    • 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.
