Sorry to throw the thread offtrack. I totally agree the UK would rival any US destination but the price of petrol, the exchange rate (although better now) and overall cost of living makes a UK trip very expensive. Granted hotel/cottage rates are reasonable, discounts are available and I personally would prefer to stay within a small area to limit driving. Pace of play is better too and walking is prevalent. Hope the exchange rate gets to .75GBP or better.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I don't like the desert around Vegas, as much as the desert around Phoenix. Mountain desert golf, with the forced carries, and the beauty of the desert.

I love desert golf as it's so much different from what we have here in Minnesota. Tucson is where I've been the most, but have also been to Phoenix a couple times and Palm Desert once. Sunset rounds in the desert are beautiful. Never been a fan of Florida golf, but then have never played anywhere considered top notch down there either. Someone made a comment about liking desert golf, but not Las Vegas golf. I've never played in Vegas, but am wondering what that comment means. FYI..... golf in northern Minnesota is outstanding in the late summer/fall for those of you not from around here.

yeah... in the poll I'm sure I left a lot of people's favorites out. I was trying to include mostly places people traveled to specifically for golf. I'm not super familiar with the geography of SoCal, but it seems as though those courses get more play by locals than by people on golf trips, but I don't really know.

For example... if I were to ask around at a golf course in Northern MI or the Sandhills of NC, I would bet that more than 80% of those people would be from out of town... same goes for Myrtle and certain Florida areas... I'm not sure what the result would be in Palm Springs?

      Day 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow.

      Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills.

      That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness.

      Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.

      Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
