Hello, I´m Marta from Madrid, Spain. Sorry if my english is not the best, I need to practice more!

I´m getting married in May and we are going to spend our honeymoon vacations in USA. We are passionate about golf so we really want to play golf at the best golf courses in the US. We are going to visit  New York, San Francisco, Pebble Beach(of course :-D ), Hawaii, Las Vegas and a little stop in Pinehurst to watch the US OPEN!

Can someone recomend us which golf courses we should play?

Thank you very much!

Hi John!

Courses in Spain.. where to start... there are many courses in Spain!

The most famous is Valderrama in The Costa del Sol, but there are many great courses all over the country.

There are great golf courses in the North of Spain, for example, "Real Club de Golf de la Coruña", "Pedreña", and many others.. there are also great golf courses in Madrid like, "Club de golf Villa de Madrid" and in Barcelona (Catalonia), like "Real Club de golf El Prat".

But also in the South, In la Rioja (winery regions).. and the islands! "Canary Islands" and " Balearic Islands", specially in Palma de Mallorca.

Well, maybe is too much information!. If you tell me which part of Spain you would like to visit, I will recomend you the best golf courses in the area.

Hi Greg!

Thankyou very much for the congratulations!

About the motorcycle road racing I don´t follow it anymore, but I used to like it a lot a few years back! I´m curious... why you ask?

I ask because I know road racing is big in Spain. Plus one of my favorite racers is Jorge Lorenzo in MotoGP.

Hi! Yes!, We plan to play there, at Bethpage Black, but I saw that is kind of difficult to reserve a tee time in advance if you are non-NYS resident... still we hope to find a way to play there.. :)

    • after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
    • this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.
    • day 57. Technique practice in the net. Really trying to slow down. 
    • It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
    • As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
