The road from Porthcawl bisects the golf course, with the front nine on the side of the road furthest from the sea.

There are many wonderful parkland and heathland courses there, to be sure, but we’ve got something on the order of 18,000… http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks/2013/02/14/wales-sw-england-golf-s-1#comments http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks?tempskin=_rss2&disp=comments&p=9570 http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks/2013/02/13/wales-sw-england-golf-s Wed, 13 Feb 2013 14:58:00 +0000 Shanks General 9567@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ What took my friends and me to Southern Wales and the countryside of Southwest England for golf, you ask? To be honest, it was because Lucky Lew’s Mom passed away. Before you take us for cads, allow me to tell you a little story. She was born and… http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks/2013/02/13/wales-sw-england-golf-s#comments http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks?tempskin=_rss2&disp=comments&p=9567 http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks/2013/02/05/fantasy-golf-being-ignored Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:54:00 +0000 Shanks General 9558@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ Call me Grumpy if you want but exactly when is broadcast television and Golf Channel going to recognize that there are a significant number of fans playing some form of Fantasy Golf? As some of you know, I am never averse to a small wager for entertainm… http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks/2013/02/05/fantasy-golf-being-ignored#comments http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks?tempskin=_rss2&disp=comments&p=9558 http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks/2012/10/02/olazabal-europe-ignore-sportsmanship-waste Tue, 02 Oct 2012 18:42:00 +0000 Shanks General 9452@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ Tony Jacklin probably has incurable indigestion at the moment. Having been on the receiving end of The Concession from Jack Nicklaus in 1969, I'll bet an appalled Jacklin somewhere was looking on in horror as European Captain Olazabal instructed Frances… http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks/2012/10/02/olazabal-europe-ignore-sportsmanship-waste#comments http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks?tempskin=_rss2&disp=comments&p=9452 http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks/2012/05/25/espn-hates-golf-loves-tiger Fri, 25 May 2012 14:47:00 +0000 Shanks General 9339@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ Your boy Shanks took the lovely Mrs. Shanks to Las Vegas last week to celebrate a landmark birthday for her. Only good sense culled from many years of marriage prevents me from saying which birthday it was. We arrived at the Paris Las Vegas resort on We… http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks/2012/05/25/espn-hates-golf-loves-tiger#comments http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks?tempskin=_rss2&disp=comments&p=9339 http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks/2011/08/08/tiger-woods-steve-williams-and Mon, 08 Aug 2011 17:23:00 +0000 Shanks General 9093@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ Well, there it was, big as day. If you wanted to know why, ultimately, Tiger Woods decided to end his working relationship with his now-former caddie Steve Williams, the reason was in plain view during a virtually unprecedented live tv interview of the… http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks/2011/08/08/tiger-woods-steve-williams-and#comments http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks?tempskin=_rss2&disp=comments&p=9093 http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks/2011/07/19/dustin-johnson-s-harsh-critics Tue, 19 Jul 2011 20:05:00 +0000 Shanks General 9079@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ The criticism being leveled at Dustin Johnson for hitting his second shot out of bounds on Royal St. George's par-5 14th hole is nearly ridiculous. For the most part it is coming from people who have never even played dead into a 30 mph wind on a links… http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks/2011/07/19/dustin-johnson-s-harsh-critics#comments http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/shanks?tempskin=_rss2&disp=comments&p=9079
