I'm tossing around the idea of a trip to the Pinehurst area in mid November. Veteran's Day is on a Monday, and I can probably stack some days so I only take 1 day off work. Only thing I'm a little worried about is potential course conditions. Wondering if that's a transition season where grass is starting to go dormant. Well, beyond that, I'm worried about broaching this plan to my wife, but one problem at time 😆

Well, I just got back from 7 days straight of golf in Las Vegas.  I've played all three courses at Paiute Golf Resort. Normally I say that the Wolf course is my favorite, but I do really like Snow M

I'm resuming my 50 state capital road trip on June 10, 2018. I'm planning to play in 25 capitals plus Washington DC. The list has the courses I plan to play and the order, weather permitting.

I go every year for Thanksgiving, this year I'll be arriving on 11/15 with 3 buddies.  Conditions have always been pretty good, greens are always near-perfect.  The only downside is that some courses will have overseeded, and they generally keep the fairways pretty wet while the rye gets started.

Well, I just got back from 7 days straight of golf in Las Vegas. 
I've played all three courses at Paiute Golf Resort. Normally I say that the Wolf course is my favorite, but I do really like Snow Mountain as well. I'll say this, all three courses are really great there. You can't go wrong by playing Paiute. 

Then I played a tournament at Bear's Best. Been playing that tournament for like 15-16 years now. We've only been at Bear's Best for the last 10, before that we were at Prime Valley. It was a great tournament. For some reason my head fell off during my Saturday round to take me totally out of contention. I also hit a piss-poor tee shot on the 4th hole of the horserace to take my partner and I out of that. 

I hit some really great shots during the tournament. But you don't win tournaments by hitting great shots. You win tournaments by making low scores. Which I simply wasn't able to do. 

It was great, and now only 357 more days until next year's tournament.

Heading to Northern Michigan today.  1st round is Threetops (9 hole Par-3 course) in Gaylord this afternoon.  It is looking to be wet and cool with 80% chance of rain and 59 degrees but to me the radar looks to clear about an hour before our tee time so I am hopeful.🤞

Tomorrow & Wednesday is Garland Resort in Lewiston which is looking to be drier and a little warmer.

Well, this thread might be more centered in the US but I want to share my next trip. I live in Colombia and I've just began my journey in golf, I'm soon to get my handicap, but I will technically have a golf trip this month.

My dad is visiting from Switzerland and some friends are gonna come to Colombia to play golf, so I will join them. Why not? It'll be like a golf bootcamp for me. It's gonna be a 2-week and 8-game trip in Bogota, Cali, the Coffee Triangle and Medellin in some really cool courses that I have visited but not played in before. So let's see how it goes, maybe I'll post an update.

Please do. I love hearing about other people's golf trips especially out of the country ones because I'm less likely do those ones.

So far our 35th Anniversary Golf Trip is going great.

Golfed The Fountains & Monarch at Garlsnd Golf Resort on Tues & Wed.  Got absolutely perfect weather. On Tues. we had a 2:30 tee time.  Nobody in front or behind us.  Had a great 3 1/2 hour round,  today was 11am Ted and with a full course we still got around in 4 hours.

Tonight watched the sunset at Arcadia Bluffs and tomorrow golf the Bluff’s course and the South Course on Friday.  Weather is not going to be as perfect but it will be fun.

Today’s weather was fantastic.  Only a very few rain drops on #15

our fore-caddie was great and we asked him To join us again tomorrow.

scorecard s little lacking, 57 on front & 52 on back but felt I was actually hitting a few good shots.

i only hit 1 bunker and thankfully it was not one of the monsters. 
 

Then had dinner overlooking Lake Michigan and watch the bag-piper

      Which Irons for Next Season

      By Typhoon92 ·

      It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno….
