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.

    • 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.
