re: Tips For First Time Cruising?

Fly into MCO the night before you sail, rent a car from budget, drop it off the next day at the port and they will shuttle you to the pier.

Always fly in the day before.
Don't miss the crazy quest game show..look for it on your cruise planner

Get the drink package

No need to buy anything extra at Coco Cay. Start at the beach, move over to the lagoon pool, drink package works there too.

Not sure what ship you're on but book any shows you can in advance in the cruise planner.

re: How often should pins be moved

Posted by LSUfan4444 on 6/11/26 at 10:22 am to
We are closed on Monday too and normally the pins are changed on Saturday but having two courses helps if I play one each day but the same pins and tee boxes on the weekends is lazy.

I like the idea of having real, on course shot distance data -


Not a fan of this. Not only does it slow down pace of play on the course the composite data isn;'t very useful unless you're adding notes to each shot, selecting what shots remain and what ones get deleted, etc.

I hit my 52 yesterday, once I hit a 3/4 it to a front pin 100' out into the wind and another, downwind to a two tier green playing 125 and I would say both shots had a carry distance difference of maybe 30 yards.

On the course, play the hole, play the course, use what you know about your distances to play different shots based on the course, conditions, game / match, etc.

I hit three 4i...one, I was running it low from the trees about 120 out and it went maybe 90 yards. Another, was from the center of the fairway and another was a punch shot on a par 5 as a layup curling it around some bunkers.

Or maybe Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday mornings.


I would much rather different pins on Saturday / Sunday.

I think changing the pins on Wednesday morning, Friday morning and Sunday morning makes sense. On days you don't move the pins (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday; move the tee boxes)


I am a surgeon with the 60 from 40-60 but like my 56 green-side and out of most bunkers unless short sided. My course has alot of gree-side bunkers and there are times I miss wide of the bunker. With elevated greens, my only hope to get it high enough to land on the green, clear the bunker and not roll off is to open the face on a 60. It's not a club I need until I do.

You chose shitty tours and a bad hotel.
Pompei and Almalfi are my top two options for naples as well. Get back in time for pizza in naples before boarding the ship and skip MDR dining that evening.
Not me. I enjoy hiking and I enjoy doing really hard shite but the challenge of doing the entire PCT or AT has never interested me all that much.

First I am hearing these three referred to as the triple crown but I would have assumed that a Grand Canyon rim-rim or rim-rim-rim would have been on a Mt Rushmore of hiking too.
The poor saps ay my club tip them for just being out there.

Married, one kid. We got a $2 mill return of premium policy on the wife like 20 years ago that expires in ten (will readdress then) and it's a hundred something a month. I have a $1mill policy as well plus a couple hundred thousand I get from work that's super cheap.

Primary beneficiary on all of mine is my wife. I am hers. Secondary on mine is our daughter, on hers it's her mother because we didn't have a kid when we took it out and just never changed it. It's on our "to-do" list :lol:

Two things I recommend....short sleeve and full zip.

You want something light and easy to put on and take off when we get days like this weekend where it might be 9 small cells that come and go very quickly.

I would never spend the money on it myself but I was gifted a Galvin Green and it's incredible.


Sun Mountain makes a similar one for less than $100.







Don't be suckered into a 1/4 zip.
The first one, with the Sea Day on Day 7.
It's worth it just to "mark your spot" fat asses can't keep themselves in their seat cannot encroach on your as easy when you have the seatbacks.

re: Swing speed analyzer

Posted by LSUfan4444 on 6/4/26 at 5:31 am to
You are looking for a launch monitor if want those metrics, not a swing speed analyzer).

I will recommend three; For a budget option, the PRGR Portable Launch Monitor, the Foresight Sports GCQuad would be my suggestion if you were not concerned about budget, and the Garmin Approach R10 is probably the best value.

All can be found new, on e-bay and facebook marketplace because plenty of people buy them and realize they're not worth the hype. Find an indoor place like Loft 18, log in a couple sessions, get the data and go back once every few months to compare OR invest in golf lessons where you can get the same info AND the benefit of improving your swing and game rather than just feedback on the results of your swing.

re: Booking flights

Posted by LSUfan4444 on 6/1/26 at 6:37 pm to
The key is to obviously book a fare thats at least refundable with flight credits. If the price drops, cancel to get the credits and then rebook at the lower rate.
