This Week at TravelGolf.com: Feb. 10, 2004

With Valentine's Day fast approaching, it seems appropriate to focus on women's golf. Greg Norman isn't a subscriber, so I don't think he'll have any objections.

We're fortunate to have several top female writers on staff, including our featured columnist, Cynthia Boal Janssens. A former travel editor of The Detroit News, Janssens checks in this week with a few timely tips to save money on your next golf vacation. In recent months, Janssens has featured everything from gift ideas to personalities such as Ann Liguori, and her column, "From the Forward Tees," runs regularly at TravelGolf.com.

Before celebrating Valentine's Day with your sweetheart, be sure to check out our usual full roster of reviews and travel features, plus a sampling of letters we received last week on topics ranging from the FBR Open to Chi-Chi Rodriguez. As always, your comments are welcome on any topic. Have a great week.

The other John Daly is a golfer, too

The former host of the hit TV series "Real TV," John Daly plays a good game of golf, but he's no Long John Daly. He's had some funny experiences at celebrity pro-ams when people expect the other John Daly, but he keeps his sense of humor about it all. Unlike the PGA Tour's John Daly, his strength is his short game, not the long ball.
