My son wants to play Pebble Beach with me. Hence, the impetus to get my act together.

I think I'd take that two grand and spread it out over several courses, or several days at one resort. Maybe Whistling Straights, Bandon Dunes, Pinehurst, The Ocean Course, etc. |

For our honeymoon, we spent 9-10 days at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler and played 36 for like 5 straight days. Scenic, fun course - until you get the airhorn blown for a bear sighting in the middle of your backswing. Wife and I played Deere Run together 2 weeks after the Classic a few years back. That fairway bunker shot Zach Johnson made on 18 last year in the playoff? I was there first, and it's a bitch. |

The target line is an imaginary line between your ball and the hole/target. You want to swing the club on this line. Swinging it outside or inside of the line on your backswing has varying effects on the rest of your swing and what happens when you hit the ball. You take the club inside that line on your backswing and the correction is the come over the top chop like in the video.
Does that make sense to you?

Then again, spend enough time on a forum like Golfwrx and hear guys tell stories about playing Pebble, Spyglass, Pinehurst, Whistling Straights, Erin Hills, Bethpage - like it's just a run-of-the-mill round - and it can bum you out. I think my wife and I do really well for ourselves - but it makes me wonder what people do for a living to be able to afford spending a week at places like those. We wanted to go to Pebble for our Honeymoon until I did the research and figured it would set us back nearly $10k for 5 nights and 4 rounds of golf each. Then thought about Whistling Straights, and found we could do a week there for the bargain price of $8k. That's what I love about a place like Deere Run - it's a tour track, and the most you'll pay is $95. |

The wife and I flew out to Arizona to catch some spring training games. We played The Trilogy at Velincia and Cayote Lake . Trilogy was pretty nice.
