With my military discount I pay $450 for my club membership. Tough to get on sometimes though

I would suggest moving your left hand to right just a touch. Also focus on taking the club back on a slightly inside path. If those tips don't work GET A LESSON.

I'm afraid to ask, but I will. That $450 is for how long a period. Unfortunately I think I know the answer.

If it's for a year it's not a bad deal. I pay $100 a month for guitar lessons.

The links are to some pictures of the two courses at the Academy. I first began playing the Blue course in 1972 so it's hard for me to remember what the annual membership was. When I had to quit playing 5 or 6 years ago I think the annual membership was in the $400 range. Keep in mind that depending on the weather it was difficult to play 12 months a year

A month, but I can play as much golf as I want and I get access to the adults only pool which is worth the $$ by itself.

Unless the pool comes with special "amenities", no thanks.

I've paid less per month for most of the cars and trucks I've bought.

I didn't ask, but it's possible that the company he is working for might be picking up all or part of the tab. It was that way when I retired. My company wanted to have access to the two courses.

For $450 they would have been through in lessons from Tiger Woods.
