How much are you willing to pay for one round of vacation golf?

I do plan to get at least one round of golf in. A little pre-planning shows the greens fees range from $120 to $270. While I like the experience of different courses, $270 seems a bit steep, especially when I’m playing as a single. How much are you willing to pay for one round of vacation golf?

0 dollars, golf is an elitist, racist game mostly played by inept white men.

Free Putting Tips

As people are always trying to improve their game, they are always asking for free putting tips. They are all looking for the magic putting tips that will be their “secret!” This simply just does not work this way. It does take a little bit of work, but here are some free putting tips that when you consistently practice with them you will improve your putting:

You will need to know where the sweet spot of your putter is in order to hit solid putts. You can do this by simply allowing your putter to hang from one hand. With the other, take a golf ball and start tapping the face of the putter on the toe. Work your way towards the center of the putter. You will know when you hit the sweet spot when the putter face does not twist once it hits the golf ball. Many people are surprised to find that the sweet spot of their putter is not exactly in the center of the putter face.

One of the best putting tips is one that you can do anywhere. You can do it in your office or at home. One of the typical reasons that so many people miss so many putts is that they do not have a solid base. To insure that you have a solid base, take your putting stance in a door frame with one hip slightly touching the door jam. As you take your stroke you will be able to feel if your hip sways off of the door jam. If it does then you have too much lower body movement during your putting stroke. Pretty simple, huh?

One of the other putting tips to go along with the previous tip is to take your putting stance facing a wall. You will not touch the wall with your but your will stand close enough to get feedback from your hair. You can throw a hat on if you are challenged in the hair growing department or choose to shave it off. Your head should stay still as your shoulders go back and forth. If your head does rock, then you will get instant feedback.

Many putting tips are very inexpensive and do not need the use of expensive training aids. Try this one the next time to the putting green to improve your alignment. Gather a few range balls together. Find a flat, I mean flat, three foot putt. Take the time to line the stripes on the range balls up to create a direct line to the hole. As you set up to the putt you will have a great visual reference of the target line. In addition, once the ball starts rolling, the line should stay solid and not become wider. If the line becomes wider, the putt was not hit squarely and will have a hard time staying on the target line of a medium to long range golf putt.

New in 2005, close to the Atalaya, Puerto Banus and San Pedro Alcantara golf courses are new projects from some of Spain’s top developers. This new development and others like it have what is known as golf share. The location of the development along the golf course and close to others in the region takes into account residency and offers membership shares in the courses themselves.

You can keep all of your vacation clothes conveniently stored at the villa or apartment and all of your other accessories and toiletries. Bed linens, towels, dishes and dry goods will all store nicely, ready for your next vacation. Even if you have a time share or lease out the apartment when you are not there, you can keep one closet or a trunk with your own belongings handy. And if you really want convenience and ease a second set of golf clubs can be stored as well. That way, you need only step on the plane, train or into the car and await your final, fully-furnished destination.

Let the golf vacation tee off to a great start at your home away from home!

Who has played golf in the Scottsdale area? What 2 courses do you recomend for about $300?

I have looked and researched on the web but I want some real life advice by someone who has done it. We (4 players) are going on a vacation there for golf and I was wondering if the best way was to make your own tee times or go through a package deal? We prefer to play one really nice one and one that is just ok…I figure maybe a $180 and a $120 or 200 and 100 whatever. Please, someone help!

It has been a few years so I am not sure what the greens fees are any more….But I enjoyed Troon North Golf club. And I have heard good things about The Phoenician

What is a great and CHEAP 9 hole golf course in or around Pittsburgh to play?

My fiancee and I are fairly new to the game and want to play more golf, but greens fees are killing us. Paying 25 a piece everytime to go out when we stink just doesn’t make the game fun. Can anyone recommend a cheaper course that is in fair condition? Thanks in advance!!!!!

When a golf course lists its price for greens fees including golf cart, Is that per person?


Yes, that is per person.

The golf course charges both players on the cart a fee to ride in the cart. If you play by yourself the fee is the same. I use to complain about that.

For example, let’s say it cost $50 for greens fees ($35) and cart fee ($15). If you played by yourself you would pay $50.

Now if you bring your friend you both have to pay $50. The course enjoys the windfall from the second cart fee. The same cart traveling around the same 18 holes is now twice the price!

Further if the two of you wanted to take separate carts to speed up play, most likely the starter would ask that you only use one cart.

But that is golf….

Where can you get discounted Myrtle Beach area golf greens fees for next weekend?

We already have a place to stay but want to play golf at a decent course for as cheap as possible. Any websites or places that offer discounts without having to book a room too? We are actually staying in Pawleys Island so anywhere around there or Myrtle Beach would work.

Check out this site. They have some great packages.

where can i get a cancer card for discount golf greens fees, in kentucky? and how much does it cost?


I wasn’t aware that you could get a cancer card for discount golf fees. I DID know that there is a way to golf for free on most public courses if you are blind–of course you have to play your round at night–but it’s free.
