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.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
