Watching the players finish up their first round of the U.S. Open at Merion this morning, one thing I immediately noticed was Rory McIlroy's very, very sharp Nike sweater. I found it online and, lo and behold, it's on sale! Normally $130, it's on sale for $77.97. Is it too late to ask for this f…
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…

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…
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…
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…
