Two weeks ago, I took my dream golf trip to Bandon Dunes with 7 of my golf buddies. Here are my quick thoughts on my off-the-course experience and hopefully they will help you plan a Bandon Dunes golf trip:

Introduced in the Fall of 2000, the Titleist Pro V1/V1x was one of the most revolutionary golf balls of all time by incorporating a multi-layer construction with a soft urethane-covering to virtually eliminate the traditional trade-offs between distance, spin, feel, and durability.

I just read a great article from a fellow golf addict from the North East who is itching to get back on the green. It’s funny and waaaay too close to home for me, but it made me laugh and so I had to share it with you.

Colin Montgomerie is one of those golfers that you love to pick on because he leaves himself wide open so much of the time. Today is no exception. He’s back in fine form with his lastest trantrum over what he considers unfair practices by the tournament poobahs at the Masters.
Monty’s quest for the coveted green [...]
