This Week at TravelGolf.com: Jan. 20, 2004
On the same day the original "Weezie" received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, Michelle Wie's road to stardom began at the PGA Tour's Sony Open. All due respect to Isabel Sanford's Mrs. Jefferson, but it's now clear the "Big Wiesy" is the one movin' on up these days.
Wie's performance came as no surprise to her instructor, Florida-based Gary Gilchrist, who told our Brent Kelley that the 14-year-old is better than Ernie Els was at that age. I still question whether its appropriate to put 14-year-old kids under an international spotlight, but there's no denying the Big Wiesy's unlimited potential.
Wie's success will likely spark another surge in women's golf, just as our Cynthia Boal Janssens reports on her new year's resolutions. Even though they're written from a women's perspective, many of them apply to every golfer. Start by resolving to check out our usual full roster of reviews and travel features, including our best of 2003 package, including a look at California, next stop on the PGA Tour's West Coast Swing. As always, your questions and comments are welcome. Have a great week.

More new golf courses are coming online, which immediately raises the
bar
for golf in Florida. Derek Duncan notes that 12
of the current top-30 courses have been built within the past 10 years,
seven of those in the past five. He says that might be interpreted as an
indictment of Florida's lack of tradition and legendary courses, but
it's
also a compliment to the flexibility and freshness it provides.

The Carlton Classic Ti Driver -- all 400ccs of brushed-nickel and
jet-black
finish -- represents perhaps the
best value available for golfers who either already like oversized
drivers,
or who would just like to experiment
with them. We can't guarantee you'll be able to hit it like
Tiger Woods, but we
do guarantee you'll love the rock-bottom price.

The Bandit, The Buckhorn and The Republic are three dandy golf courses
from
Foresight Golf, all for less than $50. Award-winning writer David R.
Holland
recently took a tour of the three, and he found something to like at
every
stop. They aren't necessarily that easy to get to, but that's part of
the
attraction, as you will see.
