Now that Web 2.0 has officially arrived and 20 percent of the world is
online, it’s only natural that a large number of golfers are
gravitating to their computers to do the same thing they once did over
the phone or in person: book vacations, reserve tee times and buy
equipment.

Clubs aside, what else to pack
|
|
By Scott Kramer
|

 Surprises are usually the last thing you’re looking for on a golf trip.
No matter where in the world you’re lugging your clubs, and regardless
of the time of year, you can never be too prepared for the likes of
ugly weather, snarled traffic, allergy attacks, lost luggage, stolen
clubs and more. That’s why what you pack for your golf trip should
consist of more than just clubs, balls and golf clothes. Other staple
items may make your vacation a lot more enjoyable and easy.

Tips and tricks for a better trip
|
|
By Scott Kramer
|
|
 If you want to maximize fun and minimize panic on your next golf
vacation, then prepare up front. That is, think about where you’re
heading and what’s unique about that place. Then imagine everything you
might encounter on your journey, and address your concerns before you
walk out your front door. Work the trip chronologically through your
mind, and use the Internet as much as possible. As the time of your
trip approaches, start a running checklist of everything you need to
pack, keeping it on your nightstand so it’s conveniently located.

Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and golf
|
|
By Tom Ferrell

 The PGA Tour is a showcase for many of the greatest cities and areas in
the United States. Okay, the Tour may have abandoned D.C., and its
decision to put Chicago on an every-other-year rotation is curious at
best. Still, there are plenty of great places to catch an event. With
all due respect to San Diego, Hilton Head, the Florida stops and New
Orleans, however, no city on the PGA Tour tops Denver from a golf
spectator’s unique perspective. |

Save your experiences in pictures
|
|
By Tom Ferrell
|
 There are golf photos, and then there’s golf photography. Like models,
some courses beg to be photographed. If you can’t snap a good shot on
the 18th at Pebble Beach, you’re in the wrong game, my friend. The
contrast of vivid green fairways, shimmering water and cloud-flecked
blue skies can make an artist of just about anyone. |

Take a chance at the old course
|
|
By Tom Ferrell
|
 You know you’ve always dreamed of it—navigating your way around the
hallowed humps and hillocks of the Old Course at Saint Andrews. The
history doesn’t just accent the Old Course experience. It defines it.
Seek out the Elysian Fields. Avoid the dreaded Hell Bunker, where Jack
Nicklaus took five shots to escape in 1995. Take the bold line over the
hotel at the Road Hole and face the dreaded approach, which has struck
fear into the hearts of the likes of challengers from Old Tom Morris to
David Duval. |
