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.

Vinsk... Do you work for the Florida Department of Tourism?

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.

    • Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.
    • Day 9: 2/16/25 Putting through 50 mm gates from 11”. Swing pressure shift drills.
    • Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.
    • Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.
    • A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
