Very nice. I've played PGA West Stadium, Terra Lago and La Quinta Mountain. Have heard fanastic things about Eagle Falls and SilverRock as well. Sounds like you're going to have an amazing time!
For the Mountain course, do not forget to head on up to the pro tees for a picture on the par 3 no...
Not a bad idea at all! The first time I went to Palm Springs, I played 11 rounds in 6 days. Would have played 12 or 13 in 7 days had the airline not lost my luggage (clubs included) on the first day out there. Luckily got them back for day 2's morning round. For the record, I played mostly with...
I bought my wife's engagement ring through a local private jeweler. I highly suggest this option. You get high quality with lower markup and you can get anything you want. Told the jeweler what my budget was prior to going and she had prepared about 7 or 8 stones for me to look at when I...
I rarely take pics except for what most others have said. Unique wildlife, special round, course or playing with special people or a special event. Will also take photos of weird things like this...yes I did play it from where it lay, was ugly...batted it out of the tree with my driver.
Definitely not worth it. As many have said the ratio to how many times you'd actually need it compared to using the club you pull out of your bag to create the space isn't worth it. I've probably played upwards of 300+ rounds in my lifetime, I'm ambidextrous and I can say that I've only needed...
I play 3W and 5W, but my buddy switched to a 4W this year.
Out of curiosity, I tried his 4W on a long par 3 one day and I ended up with a birdie so I'm open to it. LOL.
Can't speak to personal experience as I have never owned a Jeep, but I recently was involved in an accident with one and can definitively say that they are built very solid. The other driver was in a Jeep Renegade and I was in my wife's HR-V. Other guy was one of those wacko's that couldn't...
When I was a Clublink (think Clubcorp in the US) member, my home course Bondhead had a South and North courses. South course # 12 plays at 574 (white), 601 (blue), 632 (gold) and 670 (black). Forced carry over thick fescue to an upsloped fairway. In my good days, I probably had an average drive...
Have to be very careful with GolfNow in recent years. My strategy is to use GN to search out the courses that I would like to play that also fit the budget. Then I'll call the course and tell them I'm on the GN site and such and such a tee time is going for $X.XX, and then ask the price to book...
I wear mine. I wonder for anyone that stated it is uncomfortable, assuming wedding ring, are you folks right handed, therefore golf glove on left hand making it uncomfortable? I'm lefty so I don't have that problem. My friends tell me that since I got married, my swing is better, I drive...
I definitely want to try my hand at night golf. Up in Toronto, Canada, certain courses do put on night golf events (9 holes with BBQ dinner usually). But very different from what is pictured above. It literally is night golf. They give you LED golf balls. Put LED lights all around the hazards...
About a dozen balls a season. I have the complete opposite problem as you @rollin, I can't bring myself to use new balls until the old one is utterly destroyed. The only "old/found" balls I won't play are water logged ones.
I know exactly what you mean! Not that my parents and their friends are flashy and in your face about it, but I'd probably classify them in the first group. They're all business owners and have made good money in their working years. They don't exactly flaunt it, but it's that "class" of people...
It's really a different world living the high life. And I fully realize that we only saw a glimpse of it. Dave was telling me that when he goes down with his dad, rather than with his dad's blessings as we did, it is not uncommon for them to charge $30,000+ to the room in the same amount of time...
