I recently posted a topic about looking for a place to live that could offer year round golf. http://thesandtrap.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24934

I received a lot of great answers from that thread and noticed there was a "top five golf states" thread and thought there should also be a top five golf cities thread to sum things up even better. So, please post your top 5, 3, 1, 10 (or any # you feel like typing up) golf cities that are in the Continental US. Mine are...

1. Orlando, FL
2. Phoenix, AZ
3. New York, NY
4. Charleston, SC
5. Dallas/Fort Worth, TX

Driver: 975D 9.5
3 Wood: 975F 14.5
2 Hybrid: 909H 19
Irons: 3-PW VR Split Cavity
Wedges: VR 52/10 & 56/10Putter: White Hot Tour #1Ball: ONE Platinum/Tour

Do they have to be public? Naples, FL is literally back to back with incredible golf courses. I would say every notable architecht has multiple tracks there. Seriously, it is amazing.

Why, very popular seasonal retirement spot for big money executives. Unfortunately, it's probably not as well known as a destination spot b/c most places are private, and 100,000 plus initiation fees.

In my bag:

Driver: SQ 9.5, Graphite Stiff Shaft
3 Wood: Diablo 13 degree, Stiff Shaft
2 Hybrid: SQ 18 degree, Steel Stiff ShaftIrons: MP-30, 3-PWSW: 56* Vokey Copper spin-milledFW 52* VokeyFlat Stick Zing 2Ball: Pro V1x

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 2: August 12.  I did 25 balls of the ruler drill from LSW for putting.  24 of the 25 stayed on the ruler through 36" but some were smoother than others.  I suspect if the ruler (and goal) had been 48" far fewer would have stayed on.  I'm trying to go by sound, and not look, since when I attempt short putts, I don't want to look (although now I wonder if that's conventional wisdom that turns out to be wrong).

      Course Ratings and Slope, Difficulty, and Hole Stroke Index

      By mdl · Posted

      I always knew it as high but never that distance was 90-95% of rating! That has always played to my advantage. I never have but I could totally vanity cap myself by playing **super** long courses that are otherwise super easy. There was one course like that in LA that I used to play that helped my cap like that. The back tees were close to 7k yards, but otherwise the course was incredibly easy. Wide open, misses almost always had a play at the green from the adjacent hole, flat greens, not challenging green complexes, etc. But it got a high rating because it was so long. So I could swing hard, spray and pray, and score well (relative to my handicap).
