So I’m playing golf at the Duran Golf Club in Melbourne, FL., and it’s 10:39 a.m. My playing partner and I turn to the southeast and see a ball of fire ascending into the clear, blue sky, a plume of smoke billowing behind. Of course, it’s the space shuttle Discovery.
Golf on the Space Coast is underrated. They have 22 courses there, from Titusville in the south to Melbourne in the north, some of them excellent. The Space Coast people are now trying to market themselves as a viable, Florida golf destination, and why not?
There’s good golf, great scenery, a plethora of outdoorsy things to do without the traffic of south Florida. Look for a package of stories on the area coming soon in TravelGolf.

Oooohhh! Did you get any pictures? I'm a nut about space stuff. That would have been like a dream for me... playing golf AND watching the launch! Yikes!

Tim, hope you had a great time at Duran. If you could send me the shots of the shuttle as well that would be great. See you next time you are in the area.
