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.

    • Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.
    • Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.
    • That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.
    • This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
    • He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
