People flock to hot spots in the millions every year here.

I would think a large part of that has to do with summer vacation and school schedules, but I agree with the rest of your point. You can play golf even if it’s hot and humid out. You can’t play golf when the course is snow covered and closed.

I have done five golf trips to the USA since 2014.

The Masters/Pebble Beach,

San Francisco/Bay Area,

Bandon Dunes,

Scottsdale,

Sand Hills/Ballyneal

I also have a trip planned to Wisconsin to play Sand Valley/Erin Hills/Kohler.

They were all great experiences.

Bandon was special because of the high quality of the courses all in one place. But its a Scottish/Irish feel which may not be what you want.

Sand Hills/Ballyneal was awesome too but it was a long drive out there.

SFO was good but it was at a lower level of course apart from Pasatiempo.

Scottsdale was a brilliant American golf destination. So many courses to choose from, perhaps not all top 100 but darn good.

Going to The Masters is unique and everyone should do it at least once.

Now I cant wait for Wisconsin to roll around, post Covid.

Just check your season, that may determine the decision.

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
