Everyone's talking about Rory McIlroy right now with his big win at the British Open. He even got the coveted Sports Illustrated cover, which is rare for any golfer other than Tiger Woods. Here at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy, we like to teach golfers how to improve their game and love to take a look at some of the pros' best techniques.
According to our Director of Golf Instruction Doug Weaver, Rory McIlroy is known for his rotating swing. When you look at the completion of his swing, his right shoulder is over the left leg and past the left shoulder rather than stopping the rotation.
How can you learn that technique? Weaver suggests naturally tossing a ball toward to the left of the target line almost at a right angle to get the feel of it. He says it translates into better compression of the ball, which you'll hit clean and far. Watch this video of Weaver demonstrating:
In a recent article, Golf Digest also noted McIlroy's outstanding putting at the British Open where he made 20 birdies and two eagles and one-putted 34 out of 72 greens. The article notes that his putting coach Dave Stockton teaches players to "begin to set their stance while looking out at the line -- not at the ball." At the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy, we offer eight hours of putting instruction every week to help you work on that aspect of your game.
The Daily Mail's Tony Jacklin says, "Rory's technique is fabulous, showing that golf is nothing to do with size but all about speed and balance and rhythm and skill. It's magical to watch."
Weaver offers some tips for putting like McIlroy in this video filmed at the oceanfront 10th hole at the Robert Trent Jones course at Palmetto Dunes:
Of course, if you want to be like Rory, it doesn't hurt to use Nike clubs and wear Nike apparel, too. The Palmetto Dunes golf pro shop at the Robert Trent Jones golf course is one of only six Nike Golf TTC Concept shops across the U.S. where you can find plenty of Nike gear.
If you want to learn to play like Rory, look no farther than the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy. Call us at 866-650-4130 to schedule your private lesson today!
According to Palmetto Dunes professional club fitter Rod Thompson, going through a club fitting is a "no brainer.""It's like a custom suit," he says. "A $1,000 suit from Brooks Brothers will fit different than a $100 suit off the rack from Joseph A. Banks."
Thompson is actually one of an elite group of Plane Truth instructors throughout the nation, meaning that he had to serve an apprenticeship under Jim Hardy of the Plane Truth Golf Institute in Houston, Texas. Thompson has been certified for 10 years and he's up to a level 2 out of 3.
"I do the fitting and always start with the irons because the ground is going to give me a lot of information," says Thompson. "Also my eyes will show me the ball flight and my ears are going to tell me how it sounds. A lot of information comes out of a club fitting."
Thompson feels it's better to get a person's swing a little oriented before starting a fitting. He also prefers doing it outside where true ball flight analysis can be calculated. "The tall and short golfers are very likely going to need something," he says. "Golf clubs right off the rack probably won't work for them because their bodies aren't normal in proportion, regardless of their swing shape."
Thompson, a native of Orchard Lake, Mich., turned professional at the age of 18 and eventually became a head pro at Burning Tree Country Club in Michigan. He started making golf clubs in 1986 while at Kenwood Country Club in Maryland, which is where he honed in on ball flight.
"If I saw that a swing was working but the ball flight told me something different, then that threw up a red flag," Thompson says. "That's what got me into fitting. Golf clubs are expensive so it's important that they fit. I like to say, 'clubs that fit better hit better,' and they really do. Women, juniors and seniors in particular usually need fittings and I do the fitting complimentary."
According to Thompson, it's all about ball flight and impact. "It's fun for me," he says. "But I also know it's especially fun when you are the person who is getting properly fit!"
Palmetto Dunes offers free club fittings based on availability at the Robert Trent Jones Hilton Head golf course. To schedule your fitting with Thompson or for more information, call 866-650-4130.
Several members of the Palmetto Dunes golf staff recently attended the 61st annual PGA Golf Show in Orlando to check out the latest and greatest in golf gear, apparel, accessories and services. More than 1,000 companies demonstrated their wares to some 41,000 people who attended from 80 different countries. Our team learned a lot and wanted to share their findings and favorites with all the golf lovers who visit Palmetto Dunes!
Doug Weaver, director of golf instruction at the resort, made the rounds at the show, interviewing many of the company reps on the details of their new equipment. He particularly spent time with Nike Golf on their shoes, drivers and balls.
The Lunar Control II shoe, which will be highlighted at this year's Masters(no apostrophe) by Rory McIlroy, is known for being very lightweight while providing full support using the latest in Nike technology. More from Doug:
Doug also got up to speed on the new Nike Covert 2.0 driver, whose technology is designed to provide more stability, less resistance, straighter ball flights and faster ball speeds. Here is the full interview with Nike:
All of the Nike products from the show will be available at the Robert Trent Jones course pro shop, one of only six Nike Golf Concept Shops in the country.
While at the PGA Show, Doug logged over 30 hours of training with the inspirational Peter Jacobson! Classes focused on one plane and two plane swings, exercise, mental, junior golf and club fitting. Peter is a friend, Ryder Cup Player, Senior Tour Champion and TV commentator. At the age of 48, with his game falling apart, Peter took to a program that revived his game so much so that he became a Ryder Cup Player.
Get these and more tips from Doug with a private lesson, clinic or golf school at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy this spring!
Doug also caught up with the Golf Channel's Michael Breed, host of "The Fix." He and Doug were PGA tour players together and Doug encouraged Michael to go into modeling. He took Doug's advice and later combined his love of golf with modeling to become a TV show host.
View all of our videos from the PGA Golf Show on our YouTube playlist and let us know if we can schedule a tee time for you at one of our three beautiful championship Hilton Head golf courses by calling 866-744-7558 or booking online.
On first glance, it may not look like the sports of baseball or tennis have much in common with golf – aside from hitting a ball – but according to Palmetto Dunes' Director of Golf Instruction Doug Weaver, the sports actually do have several things in common.
After attending an Atlanta Braves baseball game recently, Weaver noticed that the way a baseball player hits the ball with the bat is not so different than the impact of a golfer hitting a ball on the PGA tour.
In imitation of baseball players, he offers these tips to keep in mind for hitting a golf ball effectively:
Weaver also says that tennis players tend to make great golfers, because tennis players develop the same muscles stroking a forehand that are required for a proper golf swing. These are the oblique muscles, the same ones used for laughing and coughing.
Says Weaver, tennis superstar Rafael Nadal emphasized building his obliques to increase his racket speed. He also notes that other tennis greats who've pursued golf include Ivan Lendl, Leyton Hewitt and Stan Smith. Golfer Jack Nicklaus was also known for playing tennis and even built a tennis court in his backyard. Weaver has seen plenty of visitors to Palmetto Dunes play one sport in the morning and the other in the afternoon.
Says Weaver, "the bottom line is you'll play better tennis if you play golf and vice versa." So we invite golfers to give tennis a try and tennis players to give golf a try. In fact, wouldn't that make a great New Year's resolution?
Here at Palmetto Dunes, we have outstanding facilities for both, making it easy to enjoy both sports on your Hilton Head vacation. Let us know if we can help you select the right golf or tennis clinic to help you get started or if we can set you up with private lessons at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center or with Doug Weaver at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy.
When it comes to the PGA Championship this weekend at Oak Hill, all eyes may be on Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, but there's something special that happened at this same course 14 years ago that left our own Director of Golf Instruction Doug Weaver with a record-setting moment in history.
Weaver, then 29, was one of four players at the 1989 US Open at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y., to hit a hole-in-one in less than two hours, a record for a PGA event. He was the first to hit the ace. It happened on the 156-yard sixth hole where Weaver used a 7-iron to make the shot. The ball went into a ridge to the right of the cup and then rolled back into the cup for the famous shot.
"The decibel level in the grandstand went up and up and up," said Weaver at the time in the New York Times, and, he said, when the ball disappeared into the cup, "it sounded like a clap of lightning."
Three subsequent players made a hole-in-one on the very same hole and using the same 7-iron club after Weaver. "The best part for me was that I was on the 12th tee, less than 100 yards from the sixth green when Mark got his hole-in-one," Weaver said. "I was in the middle of the 13th fairway when I heard the roar for Jerry, and I was on the 14th hole when I heard the roar for Nick's. I was able to relive it every time."
According to the New York Times, the odds of such an event happening all on the same day are 332,000 to 1. Even for a professional to hit a hole-in-one on the PGA tour in any given round is calculated at 3,708 to 1.
Weaver has been featured in articles and several media outlets across the country as we head into the PGA Championship at the same New York course this weekend. Mentions of Weaver's famous shot have run in the New York Times, Chicago Times, been discussed on the Golf Channel and more.
Should you hope for a hole-in-one at this year's Championship? We're not betting on it. The sixth hole has been changed since then and the slope softened. Of course maybe if Doug Weaver was there…
If you would like to take a lesson or clinic from our very own PGA pro, Weaver himself, give us a call at 866-744-7558. He offers instructional programs every day of the week at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy for players of every skill level.
We love kids here at Palmetto Dunes and we like to keep them busy with our many kid-friendly activities like surfing, tennis, kayaking, swimming and fishing. But golf is especially near and dear to our heart since we have three amazing and varied Hilton Head golf courses all inside our beautiful resort.
PGA America and the National Golf Course Owners' Association have declared July Family Golf Month in an effort to promote golf as a fun, family recreational activity that lets you spend uninterrupted quality time together.
"Getting the family together for a round of golf, whether it's nine or 18 holes, is a great outdoor activity that gives parents the opportunity to have uninterrupted conversations and quality time with their children," says PGA of America President Ted Bishop. "It's also a great way for the entire family to enjoy golf's health and wellness benefits while creating memories for a lifetime."
So how can your family enjoy golf at our South Carolina golf resort? Ah, let us count the ways!
Family Golf School
We offer three-day, two-hour private golf lessons designed specifically for your family at our Hilton Head Family Golf School. We'll meet everyone at exactly their skill level and help them improve their game. We love this video showing a mom and her daughters during their Family Golf School lesson!
Kids Play Free
To encourage our golfers to teach the game to their kids, we let kids play free at the Robert Trent Jones Hilton Head golf course and the Arthur Hills golf course after 4 p.m. with an adult paying regular rate. This is a great opportunity to expose your kids to the game and enjoy some one-on-one time with each other!
Junior Tees
We've also installed permanent junior tees on our Robert Trent Jones golf course, and the George Fazio course caters to juniors with markings of 150 yards or less. This makes it easier and more fun for junior golfers!
Junior Golf Lessons
We also have a variety of Hilton Head golf lessons for juniors, including our Little Swingers program designed for ages 3-7. Director of Instruction Doug Weaver teaches the game of golf while singing songs with the kids.
Our Junior Golf Clinics for ages 6-18 focus on golf fundamentals like golf shots, etiquette and rules. Weaver covers three different shots every day, and four-time attendees are rewarded with a Junior Golf School Manual.
Lastly, if you have a junior gofer who's top of the class, enroll him or her in the Advanced Juniors Classes for ages 8-18. These kids get to play with a pro and get instruction as they go!
Make your love of golf a family affair at Palmetto Dunes! To sign up for any of the above golf lessons, schools or clinics or for any questions, please call us at 866-744-7558.
Looking to better your golf game this summer? We've got some tips from our very own Hilton Head golf pro and director of golf instruction Doug Weaver. From putting to your swing, he's got some golf tips to make your summer of golf even better!
1) Sidehill lies are common and are rarely practiced. Here are some easy tips to remember: find a point in between your toes and heels where your balance feels like it is under your shoestrings, take multiple practice swings to allow your body to adjust to the feeling of that particular shot and ask your playing partner to watch where your ball goes so you can focus on making solid impact.
2) Improve your chip! Measure the distance between the shaft back to the face with your finger. This tells you the loft. Then, if you want to see what the loft will do for you, lay the pitching wedge down on the ground and step on the head. This will tell you the trajectory. Now, place the ball in the middle, lean on your left foot and use your putting stroke. Remember; let the club do the work!
3) When putting, use your shoulders, or big muscles, to allow your little muscles, or your hands, to stay soft. The result is a naturally smooth, unhurried and consistent putt. It's easy to work against yourself by guiding the club instead of letting it do the work for you.
4) Swing the golf club like you are swinging a baseball bat on your slice. The traditional batting stroke allows the forearms to rotate in both the backswing and the forward hit. The golf swing needs the same forearm rotation to allow the clubhead to be square at impact.
5) Remember to swing "Nice and easy when it's breezy" than trying to hit the ball through the wind! But the harder the swing, the more spin on the ball, which is only exaggerated by the wind.
What area of your golf game do you most need to work on? For more help with your swing or other challenges on the green, try one of our Hilton Head golf schools or clinics. View the complete Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy schedule.
We also offer a variety of golf vacation packages that all you to improve your game while enjoying plenty of down time, as well. For example, with our Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy golf vacation package, you get two full days of instruction, resort villa accommodations, a free club fitting, video analysis and discounts on resort activities.
When you vacation to Hilton Head as a family, there are lots of activities you can do together from swimming and riding bikes to hanging out at the beach and seeing the sights. But here at Palmetto Dunes, we like to see families get active together and we offer a variety of ways to do that, including our Hilton Head Family Golf School.
Perhaps Mom and Dad could use a few tips to improve their golf game while the kids may just be getting started on their golfing career. Whatever level your family, we'll tailor our golf school to your needs and skill level. Our own head of golf instruction, Doug Weaver, is great with kids and teaches them moves like "closing the car door" and "alligator arms" to help them learn golf in a fun and engaging way.
Watch Doug teach golf to kids in this fun video:
Our Family Golf School spans three days with two hours of private lessons daily. That gives you plenty of time to do lots of other fun Hilton Head activities in addition to learning golf.
The golf school includes a video analysis sent by email, on-course instruction, rules and etiquette lessons, use of the school's video lending library, take home materials, lunch daily, free range privileges plus 9 holes of golf daily on a space-available basis, and 25% discount on all rentals, such as bikes, kayaks and canoes, from Hilton Head Outfitters.
Our golf school is limited to five participants and immediate family members only.
We can't wait to see how your family looks on the course after Family Golf School! To sign up for our program, please give us a call at 866-744-7558.
Here at Palmetto Dunes, we believe that improving your golf game often times starts in your head. Our Hilton Head golf school, the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy, offers a variety of classes that work on your mental golf game. Our head of golf instruction, Doug Weaver, is a big proponent of spending time on the mind in order to improve your skills.
"The average person is so busy, they don't have time to master the perfect golf game. Plus, every golfer is restricted by the limits of his physical skill," says Doug. "The one thing within our control, however, is how we approach an overall round, a specific hole or a given shot."
We offer a Mental Golf Workshop weekly, as well as part of our three-day Hilton Head golf school. Before you even come to class, you'll fill out a survey online, which takes about 15 minutes, that determines your golf personality. The result is a 24-page report that Doug uses to improve your game during the Hilton Head golf class. With the survey, you'll get an analysis of your golf temperament, golf fitness tendencies and ability to work with instructors and get customized strategies for pre-round preparation, playing shots and course management.
Doug teaches his students how to concentrate and not just think on a conscious level, but a subconscious level. But he promises, no hypnotism involved :). "It's a fun way to play golf," says Doug.
He encourages his students to envision a good golf shot before ever taking a swing and even to try putting with eyes closed, or with eyes on the cup and not the ball.
Come try Doug's methods of using your mind to become a better golf player. Read more about our 2- and 3-day golf schools and variety of golf clinics. Call us at 866-744-7558 to reserve your spot today or to book one of our South Carolina golf getaways that include lessons, tee times and accommodations.
Doug Weaver, head of golf instruction at Palmetto Dunes golf resort, is all about making the game of golf fun. He wants you to leave your stress behind when on your Hilton Head golf vacation, forget about throwing clubs and relax and enjoy the game.
Easier said than done, right?
According to Doug, he strives to make people "players". He says, "a player is somebody who plays well without a perfect swing, understands the game and doesn't get bogged down in all the mechanics." A pro golfer who embodies that "player" mentality is Bubba Watson, a playful, imperfect golfer who gets the job done, but has fun while he's doing it.
Palmetto Dunes offers a variety of classes at our Hilton Head Golf Academy that address these frustrations and helps bring the joy back to the game of golf. They include:
Bubba Golf – Learn how to play like Bubba in this weekly 50-minute class with Doug. The class focuses on the mechanics of making specific trouble shots while learning to think less and focus better.
Mental Golf Workshop – Part of our three-day Hilton Head golf school, the Mental Golf Workshop lets you complete a "golf personality" profile before beginning class. This helps Doug to better understand your personality and areas you need to work on, allowing him to personalize your instruction.
Off the Knees and Under a Branch – In Doug's Short Game II workshop, he teaches you how to get out of the toughest situations on the course, even when you're "on your knees, under a branch." With the confidence that you can play your way out of a worst case scenario, your game will improve!
"Every round has failures in it, if you overreact, that's how a lot of rounds are ruined," says Doug. "Golf is fun. Learn how to handle those challenges, and that's when you really have fun."
The three championship courses at Palmetto Dunes lend themselves to having fun while you're on your Hilton Head vacation. They are challenging but not too much so. They're a good blend, says Doug, meeting the needs of every type of golfer.
Palmetto Dunes offers a range of options for South Carolina golf vacations, including a golf stay and play package, the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy Package with two full days of instruction, monthly packages and more. Call us at (866) 744-7558 for more details.
So next time you feel like throwing a club out of frustration, remember these words from Weaver: "Golf is not a game of perfect. It's a game of good." And have fun out there!
There are games of chance and games of skill. Golf certainly is a game of skill and the best way to improve your game is to tweak things now and again.
While enjoying your Hilton Head vacation, make sure you sign up to attend at least one of the programs offered at our top-notch Hilton Head golf academy so you can score lower and enjoy the game even more. Even if you don't think you need to tweak your game, you should consider getting a friend or family member to sign up for a program or two then you can just tag along for moral support (wink-wink, nudge-nudge).
In fact, the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy is currently running a special for 10% off if you sign up for a multi-day program. If another golfer signs up with you, you get 15% off. The two-day programs offer a 4:1 ratio for three hours of instruction per day, nine holes of golf daily and much more. The three-day programs also have a 4:1 ratio for four hours of instruction per day, 18 holes of golf and more.
The Golf Academy is led by former PGA Tour player Doug Weaver. As Director of Instruction Weaver manages the Palmetto Dunes golf academy and supervises all golf instruction. "The two- and three-day schools are great because they have a slow pace and you can enjoy learning at whatever your playing level," Weaver says.
In addition to the multi-day programs, the academy offers nine golf programs about an hour in length nearly every day of the week. Each class focuses on different aspects of the game, including beginner golf, back to basics and the short game. The programs are appropriate for golfers from ages 12 to adult. Eleven teaching pros, some of whom are former PGA Tour professionals, provide hands-on instruction to golfers with varying levels of proficiency.
Weaver says the Power and Distance Class helps you learn the five different ways to hit the ball harder and more precisely using moves that are best for your body type. Every golfer's body creates power uniquely. The experts will show you the five major power moves and which ones you should focus on.
Another good Hilton Head golf lesson we offer is the Mental Golf Workshop, which helps you concentrate better and keep your energy high. In short, you learn how to concentrate like a pro and maintain it.
Speaking of concentration, the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy has created a class that zeroes in on Bubba Watson's unique approach to golf. "Bubba is one of the greatest players of our time," Weaver says. "He's relaxed and care free. He's casual yet very competitive and he understands it's a game of opposites – the harder you try, the worse you do."

Beautiful weather, beautiful greens, an early tee time and still plenty of sunlight left in the day to walk the beach, rent a bike or play another round! Sounds perfect, doesn't it? That's what your fall getaway to can be to Hilton Head's Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort. With temps in the 70s through October, clear blue skies and sunny days with decreasing humidity, fall is just about perfect for your Hilton Head golf vacation.
Tee Time
Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort has not one, not two, but three world-class golf courses on the property, so you don't even have to venture outside the resort to tee-off from three different, challenging courses. Each distinguished course was designed to make the most of your abilities … and then some.
For example, the Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course is one of only two oceanfront holes on the entire island. Its 10th hole, a par-5, offers a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean. Don't let this beauty fool you, however. The course is tough and was rated among the best courses in the Southeast by readers of Golfweek magazine.
The George Fazio Course is the only par-70 golf course on the island and is considered Hilton Head's most challenging championship course. Fazio designed the course with plenty of bunkers and water hazards to make sure you use all the skills our pros can teach you! The course demands a combination of long play and precise golf shots and ranks among America's top 100 golf courses.
The Arthur Hills Course was built on a series of rolling dunes and is framed by palmetto and live oak trees. It offers many opportunities for off-balance lies and has 10 holes on the water, which means you need to take into account the ocean breeze before you swing.
Have Some Fish and Chips
We know a few people who enjoy the peace of fishing combined with the challenge of golf, and we agree. These two activities are the perfect complement.
So this fall, we're offering our "Fish & Chips" package that lets you take advantage of the amazing redfish abundant in our waters this time of year with an inshore fishing charter along with two rounds of golf per person. It also includes a $100 gift card for dining at the resort, including our new Big Jim's BBQ, Burgers & Pizza restaurant at the Jones course, a sleeve of golf balls, $50 gift card per person at our Hilton Head pro shops and a two-hour kayak rental to take in our lovely lagoon. Call us at (866) 744-7558 for more about this package.
We also offer a variety of other golf vacation packages from monthly memberships to unlimited golf and more.
Take a Lesson
Take some time to improve your golf skills this fall with a lesson or two from one of our golf pros. Our fall schedule at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy offers a range of options from the novice to the expert golfer.
Our Director of Golf Doug Weaver is a big proponent of the power of the mind when it comes to the game of golf. Take his Mental Golf Workshop and learn how to concentrate like a pro. It also offers a pre-class evaluation of your mental golf style. Ladies can work on putting, chipping, pitching and full swing at our Ladies Only golf workshop.
Need help generating more power? Take our Power and Distance class and learn about the five major power and distance moves and which you need to focus on.

And Then Some
In addition to golf, Palmetto Dunes has a host of other activities for you and your group: fishing, tennis, biking and lots of activities and events. You name it, we probably offer it! If you have more questions about what Palmetto Dunes offers for fall getaways in Hilton Head, visit our website or call us at (866) 744-7558.

Led by Doug Weaver, Palmetto Dunes' director of golf instruction, guests receive assessments of the following five systems of their golf game: mental, full swing technical, short game technical, equipment and fitness.
Hailing from Granby, Quebec, Michel Dion, joins our golf team this winter to help with instruction. Winter brings many of our Canadian golfers to Hilton Head and Dion's experience and French-speaking abilities will bring a whole new dynamic to Palmetto Dunes.
Spend your winter with us improving every aspect of your golf game, and we'll have you looking like a star in time for spring and summer!
Not sure what to get the golf lover on your list? Let Palmetto Dunes help with our holiday gift guide! Our first suggestion: the new TaylorMade Burner 2.0 Iron!
This iron delivers distance with progressive top lines and a thinner face. They've also designed shafts specifically for each head and every iron has been reinvented by TaylorMade. Another impressive upgrade is that the weight of the club is lower and wider for a higher level of forgiveness. You'll never hear the golfer in your life complain about turf-drag or shortened ball flight with this club, reaffirming that you bought them the right holiday gift.
All of our golf pros are really enjoying the new TaylorMade Burner 2.0 Iron and would recommend it to any level of golfer. You can call us now 843.785.1136 or stop by our proshops for more information or to pick one up. We can't promise that your golfer's clothes will be wrinkle free, but we can promise that this iron will be a welcomed addition to their golf bag!
Our Robert Trent Jones Course was the first golf course built at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort, and it's a favorite of many. In fact readers of Golfweek magazine voted it among their favorite courses in the Southeast. The course offers 18 holes, 11 of which wind alongside an 11-mile lagoon system. The Jones course is most famous for its par-five 10th oceanfront hole, one of only two on the Island.
Built in 1967 by Robert Trent Jones and significantly reconstructed in 2002 by longtime protégé Roger Rulewich, this course aims to please. After reshaping tees, elevating fairways and improving the drainage system, the course re-opened and was named the 2003 Golf Course of the Year by the South Carolina Golf Course Owners Association and is ranked four stars by Golf Digest. The Jones course plays 7,005 yards from the championship tees.
And that's not all! The course also claims the largest pro-shop at Palmetto Dunes, and one of the largest on the Island. From Nike and Adidas to Burberry and Travis Mathew, we have it all. After you purchase those new clubs make sure you hit our free custom club fitting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday! We hope to "tee" you soon.
Designed by American professional golfer and golf course architect George Fazio, this Palmetto Dunes course is often perceived as the most challenging Hilton Head golf course. Fazio, known for his uniquely-shaped bunkers, designed long par-4s beset in water hazards and bunkers.
The George Fazio Golf Course is the only par-70 course on Hilton Head Island and requires players to not only be precise in their play but to be prepared to play long. Starting play off with a 432-yard 1st hole and ending the game with a 462-yard 18th hole gives you an idea of how demanding the course can be.
In 2010, the course underwent grass replacement to promote consistent year-round play for our golfers. We replaced the TifDwarf Bermuda grass with a more shade-tolerant, Diamond Zoysia grass, a warm-weather grass that handles salty soil and high traffic well. This upgrade has created a more enjoyable and consistent experience for players on all 18 holes of the George Fazio Course.
Ranked among the Nation's Top 100 Courses, the Fazio course at Palmetto Dunes was built in 1974 and is still referred to by many visitors and locals alike as their favorite course on the Island!

The British Open ended July 17 with a win from Irish player Darren Clarke, who, at 42, became the oldest Open champion since 1967. What you may not know is that he played The Open with the R11 driver by TaylorMade, a driver you can find right here at our pro shops at Palmetto Dunes.
The R11 can activate the three dimensions to distance with Moveable Weight Technology, Flight Control Technology and the Adjustable Sole Plate. All these aspects came in handy for Clarke's big July 17 win.
Did you know TaylorMade products have been used in 32 worldwide victories, surpassing all other brands?
If you're looking to play like a champion, come try it out at our free custom golf fitting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to noon. See you on the greens!
Here's some good news for all of our athletes out there: playing other sports can help your golf game! The reason? The motion involved in other athletic activities, such as swinging a tennis racket, hitting a baseball or throwing a Frisbee, are very similar to the mechanics used in a golf swing.
An article in Golf Tips magazine encourages readers to hold a football and pretend to be a quarterback handing off a ball to the running back. This motion is similar to the initial takeaway of a golf swing. "Just as you would with a football handoff, the takeaway begins with the rotation of the body to the right and the club out in front of the chest." By practicing motions with sports you're already comfortable with, you can start breaking down the individual motions in a golf swing.
Our resident golf pro at Palmetto Dunes, Doug Weaver, is an avid believer in this athletic approach to improving your golf game. Weaver says, "You will play better tennis if you play golf and vice versa." At Doug's junior clinics, the kids do football drills, soccer drills and even hula hooping to help them loosen their hips and improve their follow-through motion.
So remember, the master of another sport CAN master golf too.
If you've ever played the Robert Trent Jones course on a Thursday then you've definitely seen and, if you're lucky, had the pleasure of meeting Starter, Sammy Mulrain. Sammy has been with us at Palmetto Dunes for more than 30 years and he is one of very few people who can say they've never missed a day of work. Sammy's never even been late! Sammy, who is 95, might have gotten his work ethic when he stormed Normandy in World War II or maybe even when he played baseball with "The Scooter" himself, Phil Rizzuto. After living across the world, he moved to Hilton Head, S.C. and we are so grateful he did. Sammy gives back to our community by working with several non-profits in the area. For example, he spends his own time collecting lost golf balls, which a local church can then sell as a fund-raising activity. Sammy won the 2009 Employee of the Year award from Lowcountry Golf Course Owners Association, a much deserved recognition, but to us here at Palmetto Dunes, but he's Employee of the Century! We love ya Sammy!
Kevin Cisneros, McKenzie Siders and Chris Alcantara are ready to Get Their Plaid On with Sir William Innes at the Clubs for Kids, Arthur Hills Course, on Mar. 5. The boys are junior golfers at the Boys & Girls Club of Hilton Head.
We attended the "Where Does the Power Come From" Golf Exhibition for the second time on February 28th. I found Doug Weaver's explanation of the golf swing and his approach to teaching golf very sensible and understandable. During last years' vacation the Short Game Class for which we registered after the Golf Exhibition was rained out but we did get to take the class during this year's vacation. "Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice make perfect." Doug's Short Game Class not only taught me how to putt, chip, and pitch; it taught me how to properly learn putting, chipping, and pitching. In the class Doug clearly explains the reasons for the fundamentals of each aspect of the short game and he shows how to practice those fundamentals. Along with his handout notes, I feel I am well equipped to practice perfectly in order to learn how to putt, chip, and pitch well on the golf course. Remember "Lessons are not given; Lessons are taken!" Ask Doug lots of questions. He has the answers. Phillip and Joanne Seymour, Kemptville, Ontario, Canada.
My parents celebrated their 50th anniversay this year and we wanted to give my Dad the ultimate gift. I contacted Doug Weaver, Palmetto Dunes Director of Golf Instruction and he packaged an extraordinary day of golf! My Dad said this was phenomenal, best gift we ever gave him and he is hinting for more! Thanks Doug, your the best!
The Hilton Head Island Middle School Special Olympics program and the PD Golf Academy have partnered to produce 3 medals in the 2010 SC State Special Olympics Golf Tournament and 1 silver medal in the 2010 National Special Olympics Golf Tournament!
The Palmetto Dunes Junior Golf Academy has hosted classes year-round where 4 students have been preparing for the Special Olympics. PD Golf Instructors Christian Waters and Brandon Waters trained, traveled and competed with the Olympians and were awarded medals as well. Austin Alvarez, a golf professional friend of Doug Weaver filled in for Doug Weaver while he watched his son in the State football playoffs.
After you left I puttted for another 25 minutes and I really start to feel like I was hitting the putts with my back and not my hands. A strange and wonderful feeling. Never felt it before in 48 years and was puting the best roll on it I ever have. So thanks again very much. Cheers, John "Freddy" Laurie
I recently had a putting lesson with Doug Weaver. His diagnosis, explanation & correction was right on. He really helped me with some aiming problems stemming from set up and alignment.
Hi Doug, A "thank you" for the time we spent together at Palmetto Dunes is long overdue. I have only been able to play 3 rounds since returning to Pittsburgh but I can tell you my ball striking is much more consistent. And when it isn't I'm not trying 400 different things as I now know what I need from my swing. At least at this stage. Wish I could spend a weekly session in your court but real life...... I have also devoured the pamphlet. Some of the references I am not familiar with but can generally figure out. I think the "scissors" and "double scissors" grips are what you demonstrated out of the sand the last day. One thing I really learned from the pamphlet is to keep the ball under my left eye when putting. The routine (putting) you showed me has led me to develop a consistent 7 step process. Believe me...... it's me...... it's not a complicated or time consuming thing. Just consistent. Also, YES. I was too far from the ball for most of my shots. You mentioned this one time but I hear everything and forget very little so I put it to test and I do find it easier to make a "modern swing" from this position. So, THANKS. I look forward to your video and spending more time together; just wish I could be in HHI more than once/year. I hope your son is staying healthy and both he and Hilton Head Christian Academy are having continued success. Best Regards, Jack Scores: 76, 81 (relapse), 74 Goal: always under 75 Probability: ??
My daughter's first golf lesson was a winner thanks to Doug's one-on-one instruction. He inspired the whole family to learn more about golf.
I love being able to receive such in depth golf lessons from Doug Weaver. He takes such a personal interest in me that it instantly makes me feel like a better golfer. His focus and dedication to helping myself and his other students really is just impeccable. There probably isn't any better golf instructor that I have ever met. His knowledge of the game of golf blows my mind, and he always gives me these awesome drills to take home so I can continually sharpen my game. Thanks Doug for all your help...my golf game just keeps on getting better with your assistance!
Since I have been living in Hilton Head, SC, Doug Weaver and I have been working together for almost eight months now every week. In this picture, Doug is adjusting my grip which was too strong. Doug has been a saving grace to my golf game, and I look forward to working with Doug every week!! Plus you can't beat being able to receive lessons from one the best instructors on the island, and at one the best golf courses in Hilton Head as well.
Doug Weaver has been a saving grace for my golf game. Since I've been a student at the Professional Golfers Career college, working w/Doug every week has been one of my favorite parts of the school. There is just this amazing feeling of satisfaction when I hit the links, and being able to incorporate all of the tips Doug gives me each week and seeing such positive results!
Play with the Pro and learn as you go. This is Sam, Alex and Ryan on the 10th green of the Jones with the Atlantic Ocean. Playing with former PGA Tour Player Doug Weaver
Johnny and Joey took lessons with Coach Weaver for the summer and loved it! They really improved and learned a lot! Thanks for a great summer - see you next year!
Just started golfing - you made it a lot of fun and I learned a lot. Can't wait for another lesson!!! Thank you - Katie
Just finished three days of classes and clinics with Doug and George - time and money very well spent! Doug really helped me get a better "feel" for the game and greatly improved my confidence on the course. In addition to everything I learned, I also laughed alot. You can't miss!
Thanks Doug for helping me get better at golf. I will always remember that when you swing down the ball goes up! Ryan
Thank you Doug for instructing Meredith and Maddie. They had a great time and cannot wait to get back on the course!
Doug's free clinic on Mondays are a great introduction to his teaching style---relaxed, uncomplicated, and fun. My goal last winter was to take my game to the next level, and thanks to Doug's Short Game clinics and a few private lessons with him, I've lowered my handicap and am enjoying golf more than ever!
More than anything, I appreciate the practical advise he gave me on how to relax before taking every shot,
On our way to Florida over Spring Break this year we stopped in Hilton Head for the weekend to prepare and play golf for the first time after too long of a winter break. Doug was great to work with as he spent time with each of my players individually video taping their swing and giving them little things to work on as we began our preseason practice.
The same should be said for other professions giving golf tips. We took up golf a little less than one year ago. In that time, there was plenty of advice given, whether it was from a co-worker, family friend, or even a barber. Our experience was that in a couple of hours with Doug, our game - fundamentals, mechanics, and overall grasp of the game - improved immensely! Clearly Doug has a wealth of golf knowledge and has been doing this for many years. The best way to explain his teaching style is relaxed, adaptive, rooted in the fundamentals, and fun. He is like the college professor with the PhD and the course textbook he wrote himself, who can actually communicate with the undergrad - thus tailoring his delivery to where you are in your golf journey. After spending the last year playing round after round to improve, it was clear that I learned more in my few hours with Doug than a whole year of playing and listening to the advice and tips of everyone else. Do yourself, your sanity, and your game a favor - take a round off and invest that time and money into lessons with Doug. Remember, while a Golf Pro may not give a good haircut, they are in fact masters of their profession.
I did one private lesson and the 3 hour group putting, short game, and full swing instruction with Doug. He was awesome! I would recommend either the private or group lessons. I visit South Carolina every May and will now do lessons with Doug every year. It is easy to see that he really cares and is great at articulating the concepts that he wants you to adopt in your swing.
Doug's lessons have taught me that golf is more than a swing. His unique and illustrative communication skills focus on applying your athletic ability against the games key fundamentals that allow you to master the basics. Since taking lessons with Doug , the confidence in my technique has allowed me to improve in all aspects of my game and win my club championship. When you are done taking a lesson with Doug you will be able to see your shots, feel your shots, and trust your ability to execute.
Having played golf for forty years, I was having a terrible time with a vicious, peristant hook. Doug was able to identify the basic problems and ,by the end of the lesson, i was hitting good shots and had an understanding of fundamentals I needed to remember and practice. As an added bonus, Doug made the experience enjoyable. I would recommend Doug to any golfer wanting to improve his/her golf game.
It has been 1 year since I have taken a golf lesson. Doug Weaver was very good yet it was a simple lesson. I would recommend him
This was our first golf lesson and we had a great time!
We fully enjoyed our 'back to the basics' lessons with Doug Weaver and immediately signed up for the on course short game clinic for later in the week. We took away some real practical tactics and game improvements - customized to our abilities. Thanks Doug!! (Also enjoyed the beautiful course at Palmetto Dunes.
Like everyone else on this page, I love the game of golf -- finally, again. Over the past two years that hasn't been the case. A serious flaw in my game left me anxious and confused. Nothing I did fixed it -- not extensive reading and research, not watching golf videos and not taking lessons from pros who thought they had it figured out if I just turned this way, adjusted my backswing that way or added a new convoluted swing thought.
While their dad's are playing in the Heritage Tournament, The Heritage Kids Club lets the children enjoy a group lesson with Doug and his crew at the Palmetto Dunes Robert Trent Jones course. The children and volunteers always enjoy this visit and you never know... one may be on the PGA tour in the next 15 years!
For our way of saying thanks to our customers, we invited several clients and potential clients to Doug Weaver's group golf lesson. Doug did a masterful job of teaching and kept it fun for everyone. I am still hearing about how Doug's tips are helping them play the best golf they have played in years. What a great experience!!!! Thanks Doug and we will definitely do this again.
I took my first golf lessons from Doug Weaver last August after spending several years trying to figure it out for myself. It is a new game to me now. When I remember and apply Doug's simple advice, at the range or on the course, I strike the ball well. I am earning back the money I spent on lessons in skins games because my friends are just starting to catch on that I am not the same hack! See you in August.
I've been taking golf lessons for several years but I can honestly say that the Ladies Only clinic I did with Doug Weaver helped me more than anything. I'm delighted to have learned so much with personal attention over a three hour period. Many thanks to Doug. Can't wait to come back and do it again. Then he can see the improvement to my game.
Every Monday from 4 to 5, a very informative and entertaining clinic done by Doug Weaver, former PGA player and head of instruction.. Make sure he tells the story of the 4 holes in one at the US Open at Oak Hill!

When staying at a hotel, sometimes it's the little things that count. Let's take a look at some worldly examples of great hotel design that doesn't overlook the details.
Ever since it's opening, I've been drawn to the windows in the public spaces of the Mandarin Oriental in Barcelona (above). There's a playful voyeuristic quality to these ultra chic peep-spots.
The fun facade at the Inntel Hotel in Amsterdam (above) is postmodern meets traditional Dutch meets Rubik's cube.
The pencils at the Andaz Hotel in London are made from recycled CD jewel cases (above). I'm guessing they now offer iPod docks in the rooms. The key to great hotel design is not just in the architectural details, but also the accessories that would normally seem unimportant, like a pencil.
The Waterhouse along Shanghai's Sound Bund (above) keeps the crumbling concrete walls of this former Japanese military bunker intact. It's a very real respite from the otherwise hyperreal development in the city that surrounds it. Raw materials and designer desk lamps can give an organic feel to any space.
Artcraft Baby Swan White Chandelier
The Treehouse Hotel (below) sits just 35 miles south of the Arctic Circle in Sweden. Suspended from trees and featuring mirrored sides, it's virtually invisible from the ground.
Not all the rooms feature a mirror facade though, and inside there's a feast of minimalist decor (below). Loungy, white seating is a fun way to keep a place minimal and modern.
Sonneman Tetra Gloss White Floor Lamp
Designers and graphic designers have to love the Pantone Hotel in Brussels (below), an homage to the color specialists in seven distinct hues.
And sometimes it's the smallest thing that counts: a drink on the top floor at the end of the day. For fans of the Sofia Coppola film Lost in Translation, the New York Bar at the Park Hyatt Tokyo (below) is the perfect place to re-create your own Bill Murray Suntory whiskey moment.
With a view looking across Tokyo and some of the best cocktails in the world, it's worth every yen. And trust me, you'll spend quite a few.
With so many options, hopefully you're booking a trip and heading to see one of these extremely cool hotel designs.

Many amazing things are happening in the world of architectural materials and more specifically modern porcelain tiles. The Pinocchi Collection from 14OraItaliana has the look and feel of plywood, but the durability and sustainability of a porcelain tile! Since plywood has become a more popular material in architecture and commercial design (as seen in my last post) this is a very cool addition to the collection.
You can use this material in unexpected places like on shower walls and because of it's texture it's the perfect material to use poolside! It allows you to think outside the (plywood) box in a huge way!
The decorative Tartan pattern (above) is layered on top of the wood pattern to create a very tailored effect. This adds a playful, but refined edge and is the perfect combination of innovation and tradition. The Tartan is a perfect backdrop for any modern sofa with its clean lines. And I could easily see this in a adorable cafe with modern tables and modern dining chairs.
This collection must be called Pinocchi because you would swear they are lying to you. There is no way that a porcelain tile could look this real, but believe us, it's really fake! The Pino Collection (above) works great as an outdoor flooring and pairs perfectly with modern outdoor furniture.
Bold, modern home decor really pops against the natural color of the plywood tiles. The texture of the wood tile contrasts beautifully with smooth lacquer finish and organic elements above.
Be on the lookout for some really innovative designs in architectural tiles and materials. The largest tile show in the world, Cersaie just ended a couple weeks ago and we are extremely excited to see all the wonderful materials about to be introduced into our world!

+Pantone announced their color of the year this week. Emerald Green will be the color focus of the year throughout the design industry so keep your eye out!
+Legendary architect, Oscar Niemeyer passed away at the age of 104 on Wednesday. He's known for designing beautiful architecture around the world and his brilliance will be missed.
+Speaking of great architecture, Kate Arends from Wit + Delight has a great post on Louis Kahn and is famous Norman Fisher House.
+They are the coolest city lights you'll ever see... L.A. Times Photography posted satelite images of earth at night on-line and they are spectacular. Frame-worthy for sure!
+If you're a new designer starting out or you just have some questions about working in the design industry, graphic designer Shauna Haider has a great advice column on her blog Nubby Twiglet.

We love geometric art and of course modern architecture so when the two of them are combined you get stunning results.Technology has allowed architects to create work way beyond the standard box that many associate modern architecture with.The BiCentennial Civic Center (above) is constructed from faceted prisms made out of concrete.This creates a very unique play of light and shadow.
We were just talking about light and shadow, right? Now add color! Not only does architecture look like modern art, but it creates art on these white walls.
A crystal geometric ceiling light will create amazing play on light and shadow in your interior. Its like an expolosion in the sky!
Inertia Crystal 24" Wide Corbett Flushmount Ceiling Light
The bold black and white triangular facade wrapped around this dome structure creates a strong and dynamic backdrop to this urban Tokyo setting.
Modern pendant lighting can create this same dynamic feeling in your setting. This black and white geometric pendant (below) would be perfect!
Tetra Tiffany Style 7-Inch-W Pendant Chandelier
Traditional Japanese wood construction has morphed with modern day technology to create a stunning facade that looks more like a sculpture than a place to conduct business.
If you aren't lucky enough to live or work in one of these geometric architectural works of modern art then you can always bring geometric home decor into your modern interior.

The pure attention to the details of interior architecture is why the work of Fearon Hay Architects captivates me.This minimal design of this 1960's fabric warehouse conversion in Auckland, New Zealand is functional and straight-forward. My eyes gloss over at the sight of the detailing of those rosewood framed doors.
The gorgeous fabrics rolls spread out over the space make a bold statement while the architecture accentuates the beauty of each piece without trying to fight it.
The form of each of the chairs and table (above) adds a sculptural element within the space. Raw, concrete floors, white walls, and modern accent chairs will help you achieve the modern and industrial look like the space above.
Oxblood leather chairs and soft artwork cozy up the conference room. A modern office chair is not only practical and comfortable, but is a great way to bring modern elements into your office space.
Of course you know we love lighting, and if I could add just one element to this design it would be a simple modern pendant light.
The rosewood framed doors are able to separate the room physically, but not visually. Now this is what design is all about; the thin rosewood frame, sleek handle, and the most beautiful part of it all, the brass detailing. It's these elements that separate the men from the boys when it comes to good design.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) – There were no upsets this week, unless you count our sleeping pattern because of the four-hour defensive struggle in Shreveport.
Texas A&M and Louisiana Tech, the following message is for you: MAKE A TACKLE!!
We despise the style of football that leads to 59-57 games, but it was the biggest game in Louisiana Tech history so we had to watch (more on this later).
LSU's win over South Carolina could be considered both an upset and not an upset because the Tigers were ranked lower than South Carolina yet were a three-point favorite.
Also, regular readers may find this surprising, but we have no bad remarks about Missouri this week (OK, maybe just one). It's just not fun to goof on them anymore.
Below is the weekly list of what we learned from watching SEC games in Week 7.
1. The only thing that can stop Alabama is lightning, and even that isn't very reliable. Alabama scored four touchdowns and gave up no points in its 42-10 win over Missouri before the game was delayed due to lightning in the area. After the delay, the Tide scored 14 points and allowed 10.
Alabama (6-0, 3-0) showed no ill effects of having a bye last week. In fact, the Tide looked better because of it. A new offensive wrinkle was added by putting defensive tackle Jesse Williams in at fullback and doing exactly what you should do when a guy wearing No. 54 plays fullback – run the ball right behind wherever he goes, which is generally the end zone.
Alabama did this once before with a guy named Terrance Cody, and it worked flawlessly. T.J. Yeldon was the primary tailback behind Williams against Missouri (3-4, 0-4), but if this package gets inside the red zone with bruiser Eddie Lacy running behind Williams, there may only be one defensive line in the country able to stop it and it happens to be the one Williams anchors.
2. LSU discovered the value of its running game. At the risk of being accused of wanting to outlaw the forward pass (but, really, that wouldn't be a bad idea), we will give LSU the same advice that was given earlier to Auburn and Alabama: Stop trying to throw.
Before we go any further, let's clarify our opinion. We here at What We Learned don't hate the passing game, but we do love the running game, and we love good defense. If you gave us a time machine, we wouldn't go back to Biblical times or walk with dinosaurs or have a cigar with Winston Churchill. We would want to go to the days of Knute Rockne to see the Notre Dame box in all of its antiquated glory.
It still amazes us how many people are still amazed at the importance of running the football. Name the last championship team that couldn't run the ball. It might take you a while.
LSU (6-1, 2-1) tried to pass early and it almost cost them when Zach Mettenberger threw an interception that almost got returned for a touchdown in the Tigers' 23-21 win over South Carolina (in his defense, the defenders were wearing camouflage and were hard to see). It did cost South Carolina (6-1, 4-1) when Connor Shaw threw two interceptions in the fourth quarter (more on this later).
Three players had at least 10 carries for the Tigers, the team rushed for 258 yards and LSU was able to take control of the game and dictate its outcome. Quarterbacks love running backs that do the work for them, and Mettenberger was in desperate need of that.
3. Auburn keeps finding new ways to get worse. What few expectations Auburn fans had left were crushed in the pile of rubble that used to be Gene Chizik's dignity.
Tigers fans can be divided into two groups: Those who understand the struggles Auburn faced after losing important players and both coordinators in the offseason and those camped outside of Auburn/Opelika area restaurants waiting for an opportunity to stab Chizik in the neck with a salad fork (gives new meaning to "all in").
It will take more than a quarterback change to get something positive happening on the Plains. The first thing that needs to happen is do what was advocated in this column a few weeks ago, and that is to just run the ball. When Auburn was running the ball, good things were happening. The Tigers (1-5, 0-4) even took the lead over Ole Miss (4-3, 1-2) before losing 41-20.
Auburn decided that what was working wasn't what it should do, so it went back to what wasn't working, and saw a seven-point game turn into a 21-point game right in front of its very eyes.
The Tigers are on the verge of something historic (we love history, and we don't want to jinx it so we'll wait a week or two) and if Chizik isn't making plans to be somewhere else next season, he probably should be. At the very least, he should stay away from the Opelika Outback Steakhouse for a while – a long while.
4. We really, really love Florida. We have waxed somewhat poetic about the running game enough that it should come as no surprise that we think Florida (6-0, 5-0) is an oasis of physicality in the desert of a defense-phobic football landscape.
Call them a guilty pleasure if you like, but the Gators are fun to watch. If it isn't Mike Gillislee pounding away at defensive lines it's Jeff Driskel faking it to Gillislee and running the other way. It's beautiful in its simplicity.
Driskel came through in a 31-17 win over Vanderbilt (2-4, 1-3) by rushing for 177 yards and three touchdowns while Gillislee was held to 67 yards. The Gators' running game picks up the yards and points and gives the defense a chance to rest.
It's easy and effective. More people should try it. Seriously.
5. Mississippi State is just good enough to beat you. Fortunately for the Bulldogs, that's all you have to be. That's very dangerous for every team remaining on their schedule.
Who knows what would have happened if Derek Dooley and his hideous pants had been on the sideline to distract the Bulldogs (6-0, 3-0), but in their absence Mississippi State did exactly what it needed to do, taking down the Volunteers (3-3, 0-3) 41-31, including a spectacular, one-handed grab in the end zone with 10 seconds left in the game.
The Bulldogs' toughest opponents are yet to come, but if they can keep up their current ways, it's not hard to see them navigating that stretch without too much damage. Tyler Russell is the best quarterback you don't know anything about, LaDarius Perkins is averaging exactly 100 yards a game on the ground and Chad Bumphis is a dangerous receiving threat.
Mississippi State faces Middle Tennessee before getting Alabama, Texas A&M and LSU. All of those teams should be on notice.
6. Vanderbilt is only good enough to scare you. Unfortunately for the Commodores, you need to be more than that. This is also dangerous for every team on Vanderbilt's schedule, because you don't want to let them hang around too long. They just might beat you.
Vanderbilt doesn't get a lot of respect. Everybody makes fun of them, except Missouri. (We lied. It's still fun to goof on the Tigers.) But in reality, there shouldn't be a lot of jokes passed around at Vandy's expense. Save those for Kentucky – or Missouri.
Vandy has four losses in six games, but look who the losses are to – South Carolina, Northwestern, Georgia and Florida. None of those is a bad loss. Vanderbilt is not up to their level, but the Commodores are still a pretty decent team capable of becoming bowl eligible.
The most likely scenario would involve Vanderbilt beating Auburn, Massachusetts, Kentucky and Wake Forest, but games against Ole Miss and Tennessee are also winnable. Don't sleep on Vanderbilt.
7. We don't know who South Carolina is. Are the Gamecocks the team that marched through Georgia or the one that couldn't find its running game against LSU? Is this the team that cruised over Missouri or the one that squeaked by Vanderbilt? Is this the team that was trailing Kentucky 17-7 at halftime or the one that scored 31 unanswered points in the second half?
The answer to each of those questions is "Yes." We hear all the time that the coach sets the attitude of the team. Well, judging by this, the Gamecocks are sporadic, fun to watch and prone to explosive, sometimes unexplainable outbursts.
We said recently that Steve Spurrier likes to outcoach himself, and that still looks pretty accurate. Only two players got carries against LSU – Marcus Lattimore and Connor Shaw – and the SEC's most efficient passing game entering the weekend faltered. Shaw was 19-of-34 for 177 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Lattimore only gained 35 yards on the ground and the Gamecocks were 3-for-13 on third down. The most important thing any successful team has to have is consistency. Right now, South Carolina is anything but consistent.
Our apology last week was premature. South Carolina has been overrated all along.
8. Ole Miss may actually get a bowl game NOT named the Egg Bowl. Sounds crazy, right? Well, it's not.
The Rebels are two wins away from being bowl eligible and still have to face Arkansas and Vanderbilt, so getting those wins could be easy. There's even better news for Ole Miss. The Rebels haven't been to a bowl since 2009, but are currently on a four-game bowl winning streak and have won eight of their last nine bowls.
The bad news is eligibility is by no means a guarantee. Ole Miss has definitely turned a corner for the better, but the Rebels gave up what could have been a win over Texas A&M and struggled with consistency against Auburn.
It's a football cliché, but it's no less true, that if the Rebels can minimize their penalties and turnovers, those wins – and maybe another over Georgia, LSU or Mississippi State – should come easily.
9. Johnny Manziel is the best player in college football, and the competition is not even close. The only thing keeping Manziel from getting Heisman hype is, well, actually, we don't know why he isn't getting Heisman hype.
It could be because it's only his first year playing college football or it could be because Florida kept him from doing what he has done to everyone else, which is run circles – sometimes figure 8s - around their defense.
The latest victim was Louisiana Tech (5-1). Manziel set an SEC record for total offense throwing for 395 yards and three touchdowns and rushing for 181 yards and three touchdowns. He averaged 9.5 yards per carry and 9.9 yards per completion in a 59-57 win.
Manziel's passing average per game is rapidly approaching 300 yards, but as a runner, he leads the SEC in average yards per game, yards per carry, total yards and is tied with Marcus Lattimore for the lead in rushing touchdowns. Manziel is second in the SEC in passing touchdowns behind Tyler Bray.
Those are numbers Tim Tebow and Cam Newton would be jealous of.
Yes, Florida did bottle Manziel up, but that was in the Aggies' first game of the season. Nobody really knew how that offense was going to work. A&M (5-1, 2-1) gets LSU next week, Mississippi State two weeks later and Alabama on Nov. 10. Those games will show if "Johnny Football" is for real or just feasting on the defensively challenged.
10. Computers are stupid. Well, not all computers, just the ones that try to tell us which team is better than another team.
Obligatory BCS bashing in 3 … 2 … 1 …
The first Broken Championship System standings are released today and this column is not being held to wait for those numbers. Why, you ask? Because What We Learned's opinion of the Beleaguered Cockamamie Standings poll won't change based on what it says.
We encourage you to go check the data entered into the six computer rankings algorithms to make sure there are no errors in them. On second thought, don't waste your time. Only one of the formulas is made public. That means there are five polls – more than half of those used to determine the final standings - that have an unknown, and therefore unverifiable and illegitimate, process.
We'll stop here and go have a Coca-Cola - the only secret formula we don't have a problem with.

I know what you're thinking. Drew Brees? The bum threw a league-high 19 interceptions, including one horrible five-interception night in Atlanta.
But he's not a bum. In fact, without his emotional center and dear friend Sean Payton nearby, he still threw for 5,177 yards and a league-best 43 touchdowns. Nine of his 16 games included quarterback ratings of 109.0 or better. He registered at least 300 yards in 10 games and had four touchdowns in four contests.
And again, all of this was without Payton, the designer of the offense and the man who knows how to put Brees in the best of positions. It also was done without a true offseason with organized team activities and a
So, why is the future bright under Brees? Well, for one, Payton returns for the 2013 season. The bigger reason, though, is he realizes that he "slipped" in 2012. After the season-finale, Brees said, "I've got to hold myself accountable and (the turnovers) have to come down. I'm going to do my best to fix that."
The last time Brees had a "down" season, in 2008, he following up in 2009 with a then career-best 70.6 completion percentage and a 34-11 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

I actually think I just got lucky with my sheathwork; it just so happens that there's a tandy leather store 10 minutes away and there's a guy there that's been doing leatherwork for about 45 years. When I go to the store it's almost like taking private leatherworking classes. He will literally spend an hour or two with me each time I'm in there showing me the ropes. It's awesome!

Re: NOS Cadet 125
Just got back in and saw all the posts regarding the blade issue. I checked and the blades are correct. I was holding the deck up with one hand and taking the photo with the other.
Re: NOS Cadet 125
Id like to see the pics of it when you found it.
there are a few little things , like the oil fill tube, should be on the left side of the block. the heat shield isnt correct. looks like a 10hp from what I can see.
the hood bumps should be cork not sticky back black foam rubber.

Re: NOS Cadet 125
4Speed, I you're wrong on all accounts. All of the things you've mentioned were true for the 122/123 tractors and older, but were changed on this series (1x4 / 1x5 tractors) starting in 1967 and moving forward. The dipstick tube was moved from low/short on the side of the block, to the vertical position as noted in Mark's photos. The heat shield was stamped flat instead of having the bevel on it, and they did away with the cork and used black rubber strips for the hood stops.

Re: NOS Cadet 125
Boy was I excited to hear of this nos tractor...sadly its just a really nice original low hour tractor. Also the side oil camshaft cover dipstick was only replacment engines...and the 147.
Re: NOS Cadet 125
Sadly I'm afraid that you have no idea what you are talking about or you did not clearly see the photo. The dipstick is in the proper location for the the model and year. It's not side mounted its on the top of the block. And I'm sorry about your lack of excitement.
Re: NOS Cadet 125
Sorry the comment on the dipstick was actually directed at 4speed... he was i beleive refering to the dipstick location in the camshaft cover... which was on replacement engines.
Your tractor looks spot on... aside from the rear worklight, which is a crying shame!.... certainly an extrodinary find... you definitly dont see them in that condition very often. too bad that model didnt come with an hour meter.
We have seen a few true nos tractors found in crates... or what was left of the crate. never fired at all.... which is kinda what i thought this was when i first heard of it.
Sadly i i know a great deal about these tractors.... well my girlfriend thinks its sad anyhow!
Re: NOS Cadet 125
sorry if I ticked you off. I was only going by the look of my 67 125 . if every time I post, I get talked down at like I just did. I'll not be back. I'll be the first to say I dont know it all about them.
I didnt like the yellow engine block , so its black and the starter /gen is cast color. not correct but I like it.

Re: NOS Cadet 125
I have reread all the posts in this thread and saw nothing that would indicate any one was talking down to you. Gitractorman was pointing out that he felt your info for the 125 was wrong but he did keep it respectful. Respect is the name of the game here guys, this thread has some useful info about the 125, let's keep it that way.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Re: NOS Cadet 125
Agreed. Respect is the name of the game. I do not see any evidence of patronizing or demeaning phrasing.
Your 125 is very nice, I like what you did with it. I do hope you will keep returning. Sometimes misunderstandings happen, but once resolved, conversation can be quite positive.

Re: NOS Cadet 125
I like that rear light Mark - is the mount made out of a long bolt with a nut on top/bottom?
Re: NOS Cadet 125
It was installed at the deal. I have the invoice. It appears to be off a cub.
Re: NOS Cadet 125
Howdy folks! Seen this thread and I had just now become a member! Mark, The IH Cub Cadet 125 was part of the 1968 line up. Those models were, I believe ,.. a 72, 104, 105, 124, and 125. I think the 154 Lo-Boy debuted as well. Also it would appear to me that the {k301} oil fill spout/bayonet dip stick is in fact correct for your model year. I don't know for sure that the mower deck blades are on backwards with out first going out and checking mine.
What we do know is that the previous owner used it once or twice and went right to push mowing. This is one of the most cleanest garden tractors I have seen yet! Very nice find. The Blue Ribbon Service Manual for your IHCC is # GSS-1349 w/ revision1. Very interesting story and machine, thanks for sharing!
Re: NOS Cadet 125
Opps,...wanted to correct the BRSM, your service manual # would be GSS-1398, not GSS-1349. I guess I'm awaiting approval. Hope to see more of your 125
Re: NOS Cadet 125
Sold it. It going to a good home. The owner is very happy with his one of a kind 125. I may kick myself in the coming years that I let this go but I'm downsizing. At least I have the pictures and a good story to tell.

What is a Signatory Company?
A signatory company is an employer that has signed a collective bargaining agreement with WGA. Any company intending to employ a Guild member or option, or purchase literary material from a Guild member must become signatory to the Guild's Minimum Basic Agreement. Signatory companies range from the industry's biggest film studios to independent production companies, and broadcast networks to webisode production companies.
Why Become a Signatory Company?
Writers Guild members are the gold standard in writing for the screen and television. Becoming a signatory means that you can hire professional writers.
What Does This Mean For Members?
WGAE members can only work for companies that are signatory to Guild contracts. If you would like to work for an employer who is not a signatory, call the Guild and we'll help you strategize to make that happen. Contact the Organizing Department at 212-767-7808.
If you are forming your own production company, contact us about making your company signatory to a Guild Agreement. If it is a digital media company please contact Ursula Lawrence at 212-767-7836. For other production companies, call our Signatories Department at 212-767-7837.
In either situation, working for a signatory company is always going to improve your health and pension benefits and better your working conditions.
