Oh, and I'm taking my fiancée to play the par 3 the Golf Garden Par 3. Her first loop on any track ever. Pray for me.

I've got time for one round in Destin this week. I'll drive 45 minutes maximum in any direction. It'll be an afternoon round, after 12 between $50-75. I wanted to play The Links at Sandestin but a buddy told me they punched their greens 3 weeks ago and still want 75.00 to play.

Where am I going to play?

I'd call Camp Creek. I liked Kelly Plantation but it's been awhile

I'd try Kelly Plantation.

In an area like that, I'd think you could go on Golfnow and find a deal somewhere though.

I've played everything there except Camp Creek, and would recommend Kelly Plantation, or the Raven at Sandestin

The Par 3, is fun, I play it with the kids every time I'm down there

Sharks Tooth on the other side of Rosemary Beach is the second hardest course, I've ever played, but it's beautiful

Camp Creek, is completely private, and even when my course called, they wouldn't give my group a tee time

for value, there's two courses at the AFB in Ft Walton, then the Indian Bayou in Destin is pretty good and much less than either Kelly Plantation, or anything at Sandestin

I can't hit a hybrid they just hook too much for me. Have a few but finally just gave up & got a 5 wood. I'm about the same way on irons & driver. I hit a lot of solid shots but still like something fairly forgiving but not something with huge offset or too bulky. I have the original razr fit driver that I put an upgraded shaft in & I can't find anything I hit better.

I have the same driver. Love it.

I have a 3.0 on one putter. Just took a 2.0 off of the one I'm gaming. I like the superstroke just personally don't think they work for every putter type at least not for me. I put a winn triple line on my odyssey #9 & I seem to putt a lot better with it. It's more of a pistol grip that's a little bigger than standard.

Definitely right about it not working for everything. If the putter head is light, it'll make it feel like you're putting with a PVC pipe.

IMO a face balanced work better with them. Also if the head weight is too light makes it feel awkward & tough to get speed right on longer putts.

And also, people who use toe hang putters tend to have good hands and good strokes anyway..... pretty much the opposite of the target market for putter grip I am forced to use. :)

Yea I putted remarkably better Monday with my #9 after changing grips especially speed wise. Didn't really make anything but I wasn't 3 putting every other hole (had 1 all day). There are some good putters that use them with a non face balanced putter though.

Question for the group.

4 man scramble. Hole is a par 5. One guy gets a really nice drive and along with a 2nd shot, you find yourself 50ft for eagle. Player 1 putts and misses. Player 2 putts and misses under hole leaving an 8 inch tap in for birdie, which he marks in the event player 3 or 4 miss. Player 3 puts, and, having seen the line, hits the same shot, except this time his ball hits the coin marking player 2's ball and drops. How do you score it? Eagle? Birdie?

No question about it . . . That's an Eagle.

That's how we scored it. Some guy seemed to take issue with it though when we were talking about it after.

Of course he also tried to disqualify another team because one guy had 15 clubs in his bag, during a charity golf tournament. He then went on to claim his team went -24 for the day.

Well, I shouldn't say claimed his team shot a -24. They posted it as such and got the first place prize.

Our team was -14.

Was it handicapped and thats a net score or did they actually claim to make 6 eagles and shoot that gross?
