I'm looking forward to the new Waldorf Astoria course as well. I'm curious to know which specific course the IAGTO would have named as its number one choice, though. Sometimes I think that choosing just a destination, and not a course, is the easy way out. Regardless, congratulations to the city of Orlando for achieving this feat. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/brandon.tucker/2009/11/20/iagto_names_orlando_world_s_best_golf_de#c66183 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:26:08 +0000 coolio [Visitor] c66166@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ All hail The Queen of MCs, DQs, and WDs!

Apparently this person has no understanding of geography, either. Arizona: 11 million people, 410-plus golf courses; New Mexico: 1.8 million people, 80 golf courses. New York: 970-plus golf courses, 19.5 million people. Why no major championships in the Southwest? For Arizona or Palm Springs, how about the 110-plus degree heat in summer? For New Mexico, how about lack of population, sponsorship money and difficulty of connections for black-limo corporate fat cats? It's not by coincidence the USGA keeps going back to New York, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia for its top events. Just wait for the whining to start as the 2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay near nowhere-ville Tacoma, Wash. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/brandon.tucker/2009/09/17/new_golf_magazine_top_100_rankings_sligh#c66134 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:25:59 +0000 Personal Trainer Newcastle [Visitor] c66123@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ This has to be one of the stupidest articles I've ever read.

The girls knew if She won that they would make more money in the long run. Wie did not play that well in her fourth round. She missed quite a few fairways and was lucky on the 18th hole. It's very well likely that when Wie was near the top of the leaderboard of a tournament all the other gals near the top would throw the match so that Wie would win so the LPGA would benefit. If you watched her play Sunday she really was not playing that well and her counterparts that usually play well down the stretch faltered. It really makes sense to me that this was planned by all the girls so they would get more exposure. The LPGA needed this outcome desperately. Wie did not play that well in her fourth round.

In other words, while still not as good as she will become (and not yet entirely full-time on the tour), she is already registering a top 4 finish every 3rd start. Already #1 in the world in birdies per 18 holes, and now 9th in scoring average, Wie will likely enter the top 10 in the world rankings within the next 24 hours. To go from where she was--237th--at the start of this year to the top 10 is quite amazing. All she has ever needed was a stretch of physical health, and the talent would assert itself. Someone here has well noted that for Wie it's about reduction of bogeys (from 10 or so per tournament), since she typically makes plenty of birdies. Bogeys reduced, Michelle Wie wins. Finish the year well, girl, and on to 2010.

The scenery on the way is amazing, too. To get there, you're driving along the coast, the water is deep blue, and you can get out & take a stroll among wide open spaces, green & flowering fields. So that's my recommendation! http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/brandon.tucker/2009/11/13/northern_ireland_golf_versus_southwest_i#c66074 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:30:13 +0000 AuntDeb [Visitor] c66071@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ If you have two cars out on the road, one car hits the other...is the driver of the car that got hit responsible for incurring the cost of the damage because it was silly enough to be out on the road with the other car? Certainly not. Drivers of cars OR golf balls are responsible for staying in their own lane. If one strays from their lane and causes damage the one who strays is financially responsible for the damage. It's just that simple. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/brandon.tucker/2004/11/11/help_a_golf_ball_hit_my_house#c66071 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:32:56 +0000 Micah80 [Visitor] c66069@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ thanks for the article.

Quite the contrary, it plays right into his hands and the hands of the other long PGA Tour hitters. Dustin Johnson, Bubba, Tiger and other long hitters will have a much easier time navigating this hole than shorter, precision players. Luckily, this tee will never be in play for visitors to St Andrews, because it will severely slow up play as the shot will almost cross the 16th green. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/brandon.tucker/2009/10/16/after_110_years_the_road_hole_on_the_old#c66068
