This Week at TravelGolf.com: April 27, 2004
When it comes to golf, I'm a disciple of John Daly's approach: Grip it
and
rip it. Those people who say golf is a good walk spoiled? They're
probably
thinking too much. That said, I'm not discounting the importance of some
strategy - especially not after reading Derek Duncan's new column on the
topic.
In part one of his series, Duncan attempts to define
strategy as a means of judging a golf course. As you'll see, it's more
difficult than you might think. Having already read part two (which
focuses
on several specific courses, including Augusta National), I can tell you
we've assigned the right man for this challenging task.
While we ponder the impact of strategy on the game, I invite you to
peruse a
few of the letters we received last week in response to my notes on
cheating in golf. According to a recent BadGolfer.com poll, 70 percent of all golfers cheat at
golf.
Our hope is that 100 percent of you check out our usual full roster of
reviews and travel features this week. As always,
your comments
are welcome on any topic. Have a great week.

Not everyone can afford to play the meccas. Some of us simply want to
have a
few suds, shank
a few balls, gamble a few bucks, crash a few carts, hit on a few beer
girls
and drop a few quarters in the Golden Tee machine on something just a
little
bit better than a dog track. Well, San Diego is just such a place, if
you
know where to go.

Today's golfer can combine a visit to this pivotal Civil War site and
get in

manager
of The Links at Gettysburg, sums it up nicely: "The golf is great, the
scenery beautiful and one of the most historic battles in the entire
history
of the world happened right here."
