there are some really nice courses around Seattle, and the people you'd play with are some of the nicest in the States!

Depends how much free time you have and what kinds of cities you like surely.

If it was case of work and hotel room with no free time I'd pick whichever city offered the best hotel. Doesn't matter how great the city is if you're never "in it".

In the Matrix XTT Standbag:

Driver: Biggest Big Bertha 11*
Fairway Wood: Steelhead Plus 3 Wood
Irons: T-Zoid Titanium Insert irons 3-SWWedge: Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.04Putter: Pro Platinum Laguna 34" w/ British Open '04 headcoverBall: ProV1 Rule35 Playing again after a three year hiatus...

Definitely Seattle... some great golf courses nearby... Sahalee, Washington National, Chambers Bay, The Olympic Course at Gold Mountain just to name a few.

Seattle also has decent nightlife, MLB Baseball, and of course you can't forget Pikes Market.

I like Minneapolis enough (never been to seattle) It is a nice city, friendly people (I would find it hard to believe that they are nicer in seattle, but again, never been) clean city, lots of great restraunts. Golf in Minnesota is pretty popular. It has MLB with the twins (although so does Seattle and Philly) so you could catch a baseball game one night.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Depends on the time of year. I'd choose Minneapolis for July/August---it's probably perfect that time of year.

I'm a Minneapolis native, and you'll love it hear. The weather is WONDERFUL and has been for the past few weeks. Plus a TON of good/cheap/public courses. Make friends with someone who has a boat and get out on Lake Minnetonka or walk around Lake Calhoun (Great area in Uptown).

Post some specific questions and I can be of more advice.

And Minneapolis has a BRAND NEW stadium. Which is gorgeous, and the Twins are (were) playing well.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.

      Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.

      The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.

      7 Wood

      By ZenShot ·

      I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
