No No I am being honest, Bend has crap courses, The coast has crummy courses like Bandon Dunes and Sand Pines, Worthless tracks if ya ask me, Runnin Y is a joke, And don't even get me started on Portland golf, Geez Louise

Jeez, er. . . glad I'm moving to Kentucky! BTW, I will report immediately when I find the course that has bikini clad girls serving beer and pizza!

Western Pennsylvania has many golf courses at cheaps prices, and there good greens at cheep courses.

definatley have some great courses like Latrobe CC (Arnie Palmers home course) Oakmont (multiple Opens and #5 course in the world), and Laurel Valley ('05 Senior PGA), and some hidden gems such as Sewickley Heights (IMO the hardest shooting course in w. pa when it's at its best) as well as others, (trying not to be partial to Montour Heights

) but i must say... HILTON HEAD! great golf, relatively cheap greens fees for the quality courses you play, and they have the signature Harbour Town golf links!

Ireland!

ok so I live there. And i've never played golf outside the country. But some of the best courses in the world are here. So it's got a wet climate. But I like it here.

My folks go to Spain/Portugal/France to play in the sun and take a holiday. I might go away some winter.

You can't beat a cool sea breeze on the links!

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
