Got a golf trip coming up in Ocean City, MD. The courses we're playing are: 

Rum Pointe, Man O' War, and The Links at Lighthouse Sound. 

Hoping for a nice streatch of dry weather. I've never played any of these courses but it looks like theres plenty of water around so i'll be sure to bring extra balls.

Have been there often. Lighthouse Sound is really nice. You will love it. Rum Pointe is maybe may fave in the area though. It is kinda two different courses. One nine linksy and other through the woods somewhat. But I love it. Can't comment on Man O War. Never been. Over all there are about 12 good courses in that area. Had a group  that went there for quite some time. Played Rum Pointe year it opened...Ha I travel up the 1/13 roads thru DE and MD and every once in while pull over and play Rum Pointe again. Enjoy.

I’m glad this thread exists. We’ll be in Chincoteague in June and I’m planning to make the drive up to River Run. Has anyone ever been?

River Run is ok. Nothing to write home about. If you’re in the area check out Rum Pointe, Man O War, or Lighthouse Sound. All better than River Run but also a little pricier.

Ok, that’s GREAT to know. I’m the only one on the trip playing golf (here’s the roster: Wife and I plus our two kids, her brother and his wife and their two kids, her other brother and his wife and daughter, plus my in laws; 13 total) so price isn’t a huge issue since I won’t be playing much (probably one round at a top level course and another at some muni near the rental house).

Links at Lighthouse sound is the best of the ones I mentioned. Not an easy course but the views are incredible and it’s in immaculate shape. The price tag reflects that though. Man O war and Rum pointe are really nice too and more affordable.

    • I figured it was questionable as well. I too thought it was funny when he said how easy it was to set up compared to ‘more expensive devices.’ Yeah, it’s a real mess turning on my Mevo and setting it down. Maybe it’s ‘useful’ for someone who doesn’t want to spend a dime on a monitor and only wants to know distance, on a clear day.😗
    • Is all about the balance between calories consumed / digested vs calories burned though the day. The best way to lose weight is to keep your mouth shut! eat less. Consume less calories than your body needs and you will loose weight eventually. Slowly but surely. Off course you can ad extra workout to your day to burn more calories but it's a lot easier to avoid eating that 2nd burger than going out to run an hour or more to burn it. I went from 75 kilos down to 63 in 1 year just because I wasn't able to eat without pain. In that year I didn't exercise at all in that period, I was feeling bad every day. It was all about not eating enough.  2 years later I regained all my weight, just because I started eating more because I was feeling better. Also in that period I started to hit the gym and play more golf. Burned a lot more calories but also eat a LOT more food.  Fast and slow metabolism is a thing but is just an excuse to quit. If you have a slow metabolism and you want to lose weight is going to be harder for you to lose weight than a person that have fast metabolism, but is possible if you really commit to it.  Bonus track... the bigger the muscles, the more calories they burn during the day even when they are resting. So lifting weight while dieting is better than dieting with cardio.    What is real in a diet? The ideal number is to eat 500 calories less than you burn per day. In 2 week you will be 7000 calories down. That equals to 1 kilo or 2 pounds. So the idea is to loose 2 kilos / 4 pounds a months... it seams to little but over a year is a whopping 24 kilos / 48 pounds. Remember... if you commit to loose way Slowly but surely you will lose weight. Never believe when someone try's to sell you, that you can loose 20 pounds in one month. Is not possible or healthy.  Another thing when you start to diet is don't get discouraged if after a week you stop going down in weight, even you start to go up. is normal, when you start to diet, you normally loose a couple pounds in water, yes that water is from water retention from your previous diet.  Just keep on grinding and you will keep loosing weight eventually. Also worth pointing out, the body always tends to stay the same. If your weight is 100 and you start a diet, you body is going to notice that the calories intake is been dramatically reduced, so in order to keep you at 100 kilos is going to slow down your metabolism in order for you to burn less calories. Eventually this is not going to be enough and you will start to loose weight but your body is not going to make it easy on you.     
    • I feel like that video was an incredible waste of time. Because the guy kept saying carry and clearly the device is saying total distance. With carry distance also on there, but he's not calling that out. They when he's comparing it to the Trackman he continues to say "carry", when again the device says total. With his being so inexact in the use of the terms carry and total distances I literally have no idea how accurate or inaccurate that thing is.  I will say the putting was kind of neat. 
    • I watched that video a few days ago. I chuckled at him saying it is so much easier to set up than plopping a GC3 down and turning it on. I love how he did his test hitting AlmostGolf balls, too. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Do I think this is remotely accurate? No. It's measuring ball speed. It's not getting spin or anything like that. Certainly not in dim conditions outside at night.
    • Has anyone tried this? Just came across it.
