• Travel, golf, and history: WWII and you
  Golf is unique among sports for so many reasons. One of these is the connection of golf to travel. Golfers will circle the globe to play famous, picturesque, historical courses. Aside from maybe skiing or surfing, I can think of no other sport that spurs its aficionados to take to the road as much…

• Nicklaus adds another golden feather to his golf portfolio in Los Cabos: Quivira
  Taking a quick tour in a golf cart of the new Jack Nicklaus Quivira course in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, I got the impression my round would not be a sip of tequila. Just the carts paths alone that twisted and turned plunging up and down cliffs revealing carries over ravines flushing into the sea and…

• Best of 2014: My year in golf
  Best course played I was lucky to play a number of world-class golf courses in 2014, including my home club Galloway National as well as a number of "World Top 100" and "US Top 100" courses. My favorite was Chicago Golf Club, which is not only one of the country's best but also one of the mo…

• Bring a group of 8 golfers to score a free round at Walters Golf courses, Bali Hai or Royal Links, in Las Vegas
  Walters Golf features some of the most creative promotions in Las Vegas. The latest is pretty good. Bring a group of eight or more golfers to play Bali Hai Golf Club or Royal Links Golf Club and your next round is free, plus your guests get $50 off their next round. If your group books three da…

• Bali Hai, Royal Links Golf Clubs make for great Las Vegas combo
  A common question I get from readers headed to Las Vegas is an obvious one: Where should I play? Simple enough, right? The thing is about Las Vegas is that depending on your budget and tastes, I could give so many answers, but taking none of that in consideration, two courses always come to min…

• Luggage Forward gets your golf clubs to your destination, making even the most convoluted travel plans simple
  Here's a scenario that doesn't come about every day, but perhaps you can imagine something similar: Heading from out-of-the-way Savannah, Georgia to out-of-the-way Lake Como, Italy, with the intention of playing half-a-dozen of the lakeside gems upon arrival. However, several days of sightsee…

• Wales & SW England: Golf’s Road Less Travelled (Part 6)
  Playing Royal North Devon (a.k.a. Westward Ho) is akin to using a time machine. Honest to God, it feels as though anywhere - on the course or in the wonderful old clubhouse - Braid, Taylor, Vardon or even Old Tom himself might walk right up and start talking golf. And rightly so, as this is the old…

• Adios, Vaqueros
  "Adios, Vaqueros," which means "Goodbye, cowboys," is where the expression "Adios, Buckaroos" originated. It has nothing to do with anything, other than this is my farewell post. I've enjoyed writing this blog over the past number of years and have had a terrific run with TravelGolf and WorldGolf.…

• At long last: Makai Golf Club at St. Regis Princeville Resort on Kauai lands Top 100 spot
  I guess Makai Golf Club at the St. Regis Princeville Resort isn't the most under-respected golf course in Hawaii anymore. Three years after an extensive redesign and upgrade of the golf course, Golf Digest has finally named Makai to its 2013-2014 Top 100 Public rankings. I'll have to find a new…
