 This Week at TravelGolf.com: May 25, 2004
News that Curtis Strange is turning off his microphone and leaving ABC Sports was met with a collective yawn here at TravelGolf.com, where we can't remember the last time Strange said anything particularly noteworthy. Now, if David Feherty, Johnny Miller or Gary McCord leave the building, then we'll definitely reach for the clicker. Strange's announcement started us thinking about possible replacements. Even though Charles Barkley turned down "Monday Night Football" last week, he'd provide a needed jolt to the ABC golf team. Doesn't matter that Barkley's swing would scare viewers away; we'd keep him far away from any instructional segments. In terms of entertainment value, nobody can touch Barkley, but we'd also consider the likes of Peter Jacobsen, Fuzzy Zoeller and Hale Irwin. ABC wasn't eager to work around Strange and his Champions Tour plans, but we're guessing accommodations could be made for this talented trio.
While we brainstorm for other possible replacements, be sure to
check out our usual full roster of reviews and travel features,
plus a sampling of letters
we received last week in response to Chris Wallace's controversial
opinion of Pinehurst
No. 2. As always, your comments
are welcome on any topic. Have a great week.

worth checking out and all are within 40 minutes of each other.

Kentucky Golf Courses
If architects cannot imbue an entire golf course with the quality of strategy, they can still use (or not use) strategic elements to create situations that reward a strategic approach. In part two of senior writer Derek Duncan's look at strategy in golf, he examines a few variations of these elements that are commonly used by today's top course architects.
