Thanks for everyone’s advice, after doing some research and talking to a few friends who have played in the Hot Springs area, I believe that we will try to play at Diamanté, Granada, and Isabella. Will report back with reviews. Thanks for all of the responses.
We will be playing October 27-29, Tuesday thru Thursday.

Looks like I will be going to Hot Springs in late October. Will be staying on Lake Hamilton. Playing at least 3 rounds of golf during my stay. Any recommendations on the golf courses in the area? Thanks in advance.

I haven’t played Pro V’s for a while, played the Maxfli Tour, very good ball, but a didn’t like the off white color, the PXG Tour is bright white, very durable, spins great around the greens, and is very consistent. You can get the Extreme X if you are a high speed player. Would highly recommend this ball to anyone.
Updated the shaft on my PXG 0811X + 10.5* driver, switched to the Newton Fast Motion 3 Dot. It is all that they said it was. If you are 60+, give the Newton Shaft a try, it is all the rage on the Champion Tour.

We are going to Grapevine in Donaldsonville.
What is your opinion of the Newton Fast Motion Shaft? I have been thinking about getting one, seems like I am between the 2-3 dot. What is your club head speed?

Just turned 70, my USGA Index currently is 3.6. I am considering putting a Newton Fast Motion Shaft in my Driver, has anyone experimented with one of these?
I would recommend Chris Burkhalter at The Island in Plaquemine.
Hands down, The Island in Plaquemine.
