Played golf at Baltusrol today with a Colonial Country Club and Southern Hills Country Club member. Colonial is one of the best clubs in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and Southern Hills is the best course in Oklahoma.
Both gentlemen encouraged me to come visit them on my trip and ya know what, I might just have to take them up on the offer.
I think my original route didn't have me going north to Tulsa but a chance to play a course like Southern Hills could drastically alter my plans.
Colonial is of course home to an annual PGA Tour tournament. Dallas was already on my route. The only tough thing about Dallas is deciding where I want to play. Right now, the idea is to play Dallas National, Colonial and Brook Hollow. I also have a good friend at the Vaquero Club.
The golf part of this trip is really taking off. My contacts in the golf world are excellent and the courses I am planning on playing are phenomenal.
Here is the list so far (in order of the trip route).
- Walker Course at Clemson
- The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards/Springs/Falls (one of them anyway)
- Robert Trent Jones golf trail in Mobile, AL
- Dallas National
- Colonial
- Brook Hollow
- Vaquero Club
- Southern Hills
- Desert Mountain (Scottsdale)
- Club at Morningside in Palm Springs
- LACC
- Bel Air CC
- Mayacama Golf Club (Santa Rosa, CA)
I think that is a pretty amazing list of courses. I am starting to think I need more days for this trip. The more I talk about it with people, the more ideas I get and the more offers I get. Gotta keep planning.
To do list:
- Research cameras...I want a new digital camera for the trip
- Email the travel editor at Golf Digest
- Email my contact at Peter Millar to pitch sponsorship idea.
- Review route, lay out an actual itinerary.
Tigers are 6-0!!!! Later.
