• First day of the 2014 golf season: Great Expectations
  Here I sit, 6:00am CDT. My tee time at Lake of the Woods Golf Course isn't until 9:30, but I'm too excited to sleep. The projected high today is 61 degrees, but there's frost on the ground right now here in Champaign Co., Illinois. At 9:30, it'll probably only be in the low 40s (if we're lucky).…

• 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…

• Heaven Golf shoes: Like walking on a cloud
  My home country of Austria is world famous for many things (history, culture, hospitality, skiing, just to name a few) but certainly not for many golf inventions. However, Austria can now claim to be the home of one of golf's hottest new items. Heaven Golf, Inc. is a new golf footwear system des…

• Casino del Sol in Tucson rings in a winner with a new Sewailo Golf Course by Notah Begay III
  One of the newest casinos and worthy of gem status is the 215-room Casino del Sol in Tucson. When compared to the massive complex of Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut, it is a small player, but the upscale friendly ambiance makes it a winner for those who want to have a great evening in a pleas…

• Shop for your next holiday gift at Stonehouse Publishing, the home of great golf art and the new book, Green Glory
  Patrick Drickey has a story from many of the world’s greatest golf courses. Some involve a golf club, but most involve a camera. The tales of his travels sound almost as epic as his photographs look in frames. He waited through seven days of rain before getting the perfect photo of the iconic s…

• Cordillera Ranch among Texas', Nicklaus' finest golf courses
  Cordillera Ranch's signature par-3 16th hole. In between Preston Trail Golf Club and Vaquero is the golf course at Cordillera Ranch. Not literally, mind you, but in the rankings among the top 100 courses in the state of Texas by the Dallas Morning News. The Nos. 4 and 6 courses are in the Dalla…

• 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…
