Here's the scenario:

You and 3 of your best golf buddies are offered the use of a private jet, free green fees, hotel accomodations, and meals anywhere in North America all for 7 days (Monday - Sunday). Where do you go?

For me it would be a west coast trip starting at Coeur d'Alene on Monday, Chambers Bay in Tacoma on Tuesday, followed by Sun River OR on Wednesday. Thursday would be Pebble Beach and Spy Glass followed by Torrey Pines on Friday. Then it would be off to Vegas for the weekend.

How about you?

My dream golf trip would probably be to play all the courses that have majors bieng held in them that year (inclding Augusta), road trip style xcept for the British Open.

Burner 10.5* driver
Burner 3 wood GD Pershing Shaft
Burner 5 wood GD Pershing Shaft
Tour Burner irons
Rac black 52* Rac satin 60* Red x 3 pro v1


I would love to play Loch Lomond across the Pond

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."


All though there are many courses I have yet toplay here,I think I would do a Scotland -Ireland combo.

In my new FT carry bag
FT-9 Tour nuetral 9.5
FT-15 degree 3 wood
Fussion Hybrids #2&4
Fussion irons with Grapholoy Pro launch Red shafts56&60 Cally X forged wedges with Red shaftsSG9 putterCally I ballBushnell Meadealist range finder


Stick with the US boundary.

New York State;

Shinnecock Hills and Maidstone on Long Island, then Bethpage, Winged Foot and Quaker Ridge.

My Ultimate 'American' Golf Trip:

Wednesday - Chambers Bay
Thursday - Pacific Dunes in AM/Bandon Dunes in PM
Friday - Whistling Straits, Straits Course in AM/Whistling Straits, Irish Course in PM

However, since three of those courses are exclusively private, here would be the public/resort list:

Monday - Pebble Beach in AM/ Spyglass Hill in PM
Tuesday - Chambers Bay
Wednesday - Pacific Dunes in AM/Bandon Dunes in PM
Thursday - Erin Hills
Friday - Whistling Straits, Straits Course in AM/Whistling Straits, Irish Course in PM
Saturday - Ocean Course at Kiawah Island
Sunday - The Greenbrier, Greenbrier Course in AM/The Greenbrier, Old White Course in PM (what can I say - I grew up in WV and a nice long stay at this resort after this exhaustive 7 day trip would be needed)

We would go to Georgia and play Augusta National twice a day until one of us wanted to play somewhere else (if that ever happened). Fly to Puerto Rico (US Territory) for sun/beach/golf etc if we felt like it. Fly to New Orleans at night (schedule trip during Jazz Fest) At the end of the trip, we could fly to Kawaii, Hawaii, or Panama (technically the canal is US) put the plane on blocks, remove tires. Open up the engine, take out spark plugs and battery. Stay as long as we can until proper repairs made to plane.

    • Day 238: played 18. Back 9 was pretty good after a rough front 9. Then worked a bit after the round at the range, just firming up some feels. 
    • Day 6 (15 Mar 25) - Played in local course’s 2man captain’s choice St Patrick’s Day tournament.  Great day of working closely with my teammate on course management process.  
    • Certainly BUY used so many near new Drivers in Good condition that will suit ...which IMHO the shaft is the most important part if you want to buy new get a shaft new that suits you then find the head you like the feel off 
    • I found being part of a Great Golf Club renewed my love for the game and comps ..previously at my other club I was just a player with novice player mates or solo .and that was hard to progress and drive the passion when my job was very restrictive to playing in good weather and friends couldn't play as much...  that become a grind at times and gave up the game for couple years..but now work for myself and have clear goals and new GC with serious players ongoing comps and great course I can pretty much always get on .. some great Golfing friends I made playing in the weekly comps ..I'm loving it..  Still get down on my game and can walk off gutted ..but thats the game we wouldn't love the good round if we never had bad rounds So for me maybe dropping the pressure of the HC grind and more so enjoy playing comps with others serious on the game ...understand the game is hard ,enjoy the good times and your game will develop ... 
    • Big week of Golf nursing golfing elbow ....played local amazing course Arrowtown tuesday ..had a tidy 81 for what I felt wasn't my best Golf in some wet windy conditions found the greens tough to read and gave away many shots... three birdies Played my local GC wed STB mens comp... very rough whole game not happy 89 just felt tired made so many mistakes max 4-holes I played well the rest rubbish to woeful ... Friday played south of my local Alexandra in a 4ball with my mates (we have a comp same partners over the year) played pretty well after not even hitting my 3wood past the ladies tee on the 1st hole ...very slow greens to what I usually played so we made gimmes within 2ft ,,,, couple birdies .. Wasn't going play ..but wife wasn't stressed so joined into the SAT Medal comp ..teed off early .. had some brilliant holes and shots some of my best .. birdied 3x ..78 for the day gave me a 7th in SNR division. putting let me down had a 4x putt on 3rd hole PAR3 ... along with 6+ three putts ... what could have been  Now looking over the above I'm sure many thinking go sort ya putting ya idot .. but couple weeks previously I played three comps .. out of those three I only had one 3x putt my best 24 putts over a round  ... but my driver off the tee was rubbish ..
