Yes, I believe it includes a cart. According to their website if you play in the afternoon, the price drops to $31.

If it is in the area, Myrtlewood would be a great spot to hit. I only played their pinehills course, but they do have another course (Palmetto). Also, John Daly designed a course in that general area as well, Wicked Stick. It was suppose to be nice and around the same price point. One course I wish that I played was the International World Tour Golf Links. THe course has replicated 27 holes from famous courses around the world and has put these signature holes together in one course. It is more expensive and at the time, we were deciding between this course and The Dunes Golf and Beach Club. The Dunes is $100+ a round, but it is a beautiful course. World Tour is a little less if I remember right. Towards the end of this thread http://thesandtrap.com/t/56097/share-your-personal-course-pictures there are pictures of the Dunes from myself and another member. I think someone posted pictures from the World Tour Links as well. There might be several pictures from Myrtle Beach courses since it is a popular golf vacation spot.

What part of Myrtle Beach are you going to, There are a lot of courses within driving distance, but if you provide either central, north or south myrtle beach, you might get a couple replies that are closer to your location. Last summer on a visit to Myrtle Beach I played Myrtlewood-Pinehills and thought it was really nice. It's open, but does have several water hazards. It is centrally located, close to Broadway at the beach, along the intercoastal highway. The course was in very good shape went in mid-lat May. The views on the course were very nice too, several holes followed the waterway. Next to the Dunes Golf and Beach Club, this was my favorite of the courses that we played. The price was very reasonable too, around $40 if I remember right.

My college roommate's brother went the agriculture route and has been interning/working at Oakmont for the past two summers. I'm not sure what program he went through though.

Played at Longaberger This afternoon and shot an 85. First time there it is a beautiful course I really hate playing slow and being in a twosome following two foursomes made for a very long round, just shy of 5 hours. All day it was hit, wait for about 5 minutes, hit wait... Could never quite get in a groove.

Sorry, I didn't hit the MP59s, I didn't care for the look with the Titanium insert. The 59s are going to be a little more forgiving than the 64s but I would think with the insert that the feel would be weakened slightly. If your ball striking is really solid, and are looking for an iron that is going to give you a lot of workability, you could check out the MP69s. I am not there yet, so I didn't even try to hit these.

I was playing the AP2 710s for a couple of years then decided to look for some new irons a couple of weeks ago. I hit a lot of what Golfsmith had in this range of irons. The MP 64s were clearly a better club in my opinion. I hit the AP2 712s and thought they were pretty solid. I didn't feel that I would gain anything switching from my older AP2s to the newer model. To me the feel was the same with the 6iron I brought in and the 6iron I hit from their demos. Then I hit the MP 64s. The very first swing was hit pure and I was convinced instantly that the Mizunos were going to be the right choice. None of the other forged clubs had the feel that the Mizunos have with their grain flow forging process. I'm sure with your lower HC that mishits aren't as big of an issue as they are with me; however, the Mizunos were/are a little more forgiving than the AP2s. You can tell that you mishit the shot by the feel, but the results aren't as punishing. Some of this might be because I finally was hitting a club with the correct length and shaft (my AP2s were bought off the rack and never fitted). I ended up going with the MP 64s with a .5 inch longer S300 shaft and they feel great. If you have any more specific questions I'd be glad to help in anyway that I can.

A couple years ago I played in a group behind Trace Adkins' foursome while he was in the Minster area for Country Concert.

That is a nice idea and there's already a pretty nice thread going with personal course pictures: http://thesandtrap.com/t/56097/share-your-personal-course-pictures

Thanks for the advice, The first thing I noticed when recording this was that my swing was getting a little long. I didn't think the problem was as bad as it shows in the video. I know this is an issue with my driver, results in a lot of inconsistency with drives, but didn't realize this extended into my irons. I have been working to make sure this is shortened. I'll check out the video on the backswing.

I'm not sure how you can be held accountable unless it was done with intent, which doesn't seem to be the case. I find it similar to what you see at baseball and softball fields where there is parking right behind the outfield fence. If a home run is hit and goes through the windshield, the person who hit the ball would not be held responsible. Is parking along the driveway permitted, or do drivers do so without proper parking spaces? The golf course should really have signs posted warning drivers of this inherent risk or nets placed to prevent these accidents from happening.

You are correct, I forgot that we started on the back nine, and finished on number 9. It had rained the entire day before and the morning when we played it, but by time we finished it was nice and sunny. Definitely my favorite of the courses we played down in Myrtle Beach last summer.

Looks nice, I've been looking at replacing my Titleist stand bag with an Ogio bag, just haven't decided on which one I want to go with yet
