Looking for some advice on golf while staying at Disney. I'm not new to this as I go every year, but this time the in-laws are flying down and we don't have plans to rent a car. We're staying at Disney Polynesian which is right across the street from the Palm and Magnolia and they offer free shuttles which is good. My issue is those courses are disgustingly overpriced and I can't find any packages for multiple rounds there. Not to mention, I'd rather play a variety (in my opinion the Palm is the only course worth playing, ONCE)

Does anyone know what options are down there? Is it just best to Uber to another course nearby or are their packages out there for guests that are staying at a resort?  Are there "golf only packages" where I can pre-purchase like 4 rounds in a week at different courses?

We go down every year.  I think my father in law uses Tee Time USA to book.

we stayed on Disney once when our families came down to enjoy the parks. 

I believe we saw Uber’s coming in and off the resort a lot.  I just don’t know how spendy they are compared to Ubering in other parts of the country. 

Driver: Taylormade RBZ :tmade: Irons: Titleist AP1 :titleist: PW-4 All other clubs are needing upgrading as I am able to afford it.

There are tons of courses in the area, and if you do some internet legwork, you can find deals. Start with Golfnow just to get a list of courses: https://www.golfnow.com/tee-times/best-golf-courses-in-orlando/search

Personally, I would rent a car, you'll have far more flexibility, and if you rent outside the airport, it will be cheaper than Uber.

If you're willing to drive, there are good deals outside Orlando. For instance, I really liked Harmony Golf Preserve, which is only about $50-$60, but feels like a real country club. I also like OCN.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      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.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By iacas · Posted

      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.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By Shindig · Posted

      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!

      Gauging Wind

      By Shindig · Posted

      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.
