• Golf shoes run the innovation gamut
  In the not-so-distant past, the only real choice in golf shoes was between black or brown saddle shoes. Then the big decision was whether or not to switch to soft spikes. But today, there seems to be a different golf shoe style for every outfit owned by every type of golfer, from sporty cross…

• Want to get better at golf? Try a Player Development Program
  Golf must be growing. It seems like I've talked to more people in the last few months who have just taken up the game than I have in the last decade. One question I keep getting is "where should I go for a lesson or to learn the game?" The answer is never simple, of course, because there's not o…

• Win a free trip to Scotland to stay and play at Turnberry Resort with Carr Golf Travel
  If I could, I would "like" Carr Golf Travel a thousand times on Facebook or recruit 1,000 of my closest friends to follow the tour operator on Twitter. That would increase my chances to win one of the best golf giveaways I've seen in awhile. You and three friends could win the ultimate golf…

  After a good night's rest we next tackled Royal Porthcawl which, if you are unfamiliar, is THE championship links in Wales. This is a magnificent test and has that Open Championship look.

• 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.…

• Pete Dye's "Teeth" along with his newer golf courses at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic continue to set the bar high
  It all started in the late 1960s when Gulf and Western asked Pete Dye to come to the Dominican Republic and find the ideal site for a new golf resort, Casa de Campo. Dye suggested some 7,000 acres of thorny tangled land near La Romana on the country's southern coast. Getting the green light, Dye or…

  MESQUITE, Nev. -- Plenty of Vegas-bound golfers make a day trip to Mesquite to play the most famous course in town, venerable Wolf Creek. I know; I’ve done it myself, with 11 other equally ill-informed golf buddies. Wolf Creek is certainly epic, but a far better value and a course with nearly th…
