Now if you are planning on bringing clubs with you on every plane and you are a frequent flyer; then the suggestions are probably accurate.

Just a suggestion.

If money is no object, I agree with the above post, then you would really be traveling light, just a back pack [not counting the wife and kids, etc]

Clubs + luggage is a lot to handle for me in an airport and all the shuffling involved in traveling, not to mention handling kids.

You mention Hawaii, but didn't say what island(s). I have to think Maui is on the list. Here's a link from this forum about some of the Maui courses.

I imagine you already have researched or dreamed about the places you were going to play. Bring a camera and take pictures.

I still get a smile thinking about the fantastic courses I played. I hope I can get back someday to do it again.

I traveled recently with the Sun Mountain Journey Glider, and a Club Glove Stiff Arm.

The Journey is flawless. Even my 6 yr old could glide it around. Just takes a light touch to follow you, and there is plenty of room for clothes and shoes.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
