This Week at TravelGolf.com: Oct. 26, 2004 As a general rule, we at TravelGolf.com don't make any political
endorsements. But that rule doesn't apply at BadGolfer.com, which
completed
an elaborate 24-point checklist before deciding to endorse
George W. Bush for President.
Actually, our friends at BadGolfer.com didn't use any kind of checklist.
They didn't even consider politics. After all, their most trusted news
source is "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." So to make their
endorsement,
they considered only one thing: golf. In the end, it was an easy
decision.
"George W. Bush plays bad golf, the only kind you can really respect,"
writes Chris Baldwin. "W. learned speed golf from his father, and it's
the
only way he prefers to play."
For more on this thread, check out associate editor Dave Berner's
blog on presidential politics. "If you're going
to go with the golfing factor, I wouldn't immediately choose George
W.," he writes. "His love of golf seems suspect." Needless to say,
we won't be providing any election night analysis. But we do hope
you get out to vote on Nov. 2, and we welcome your comments.
Have a great week.

Golf is supposed to provide an escape from everyday life, but too
many East Coast golf courses brim with the self-important condescension
of a trendy NoLIta (fancy New York term for north of Little Italy)
restaurant. According to Chris Baldwin, "It's super-serious,
stone-faced sentries standing behind clubhouse counters acting like
they're doing you a favor by agreeing to take your money."

At TravelGolf.com, no location is too remote. In our first review
from South Dakota, we visit the Sutton Bay Golf Club, a private
club that currently has just 60 members. Needless to say, in a location
as remote as this, there were many challenges in building the golf
course. Power was an issue. Water was an issue. Thousands of rocks
deposited by glaciers were an issue. Getting someone to actually
build the thing was an issue.
