PALM HARBOR, Fl. – Hey, I’m no rube fresh off the hay truck – I know when you go to a golf resort, you’re going to pay resort prices. Just as when you go to an airport, you pay airport prices.

But, still – enough is enough. I ordered a shot of Chivas from a clubhouse bar here at the Westin Innisbrook. I gave the bartender a $10 bill. You know how much I got back? Nothing, just a handshake and a how-do-you-do. I should have been a man about it and ventured onto Highway 19 and gone to some place where prices are more down-to-earth, but once you get here, the idea of venturing out into the real world seems too much to handle.

I guess that’s the price you pay, literally. Maybe I’ll pour some of that Chivas in my gas tank.
