Comments on: Golf City – Top 10 American Cities For Golf http://golf-now.org/golf-city-top-10-american-cities-for-golf.htm Golf Lessons | Golf Swing | Golf Now Wed, 21 Jul 2010 04:51:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: LarryG http://golf-now.org/golf-city-top-10-american-cities-for-golf.htm/comment-page-1#comment-29 LarryG Mon, 11 May 2009 23:58:55 +0000 http://golf-now.org/?p=97#comment-29 A couple of issues with the rather cursory tour of America's great golfing cities. First, some of the courses mentioned are either too private or too expensive for the average golfer. Also, how does the author mention Oregon without a nod to the Bandon courses on the coast, arguably. And Rochester, and not New York City, for example, with all the U.S. Open courses (Bethpage, Winged Foot, Shinnecock within a couple of hours drive)? Okay, perhaps the writer has his nose in the air about places favored by the average golfer, like Myrtle Beach, but not to mention the Charleston area, with the Ocean Course and other fine layouts at Kiawah Island seems a big miss. And Orlando? No cliche there, right? With just a little research, the writer might also have landed on Williamsburg, VA, with the fabulous layouts at Golden Horseshoe and almost equally fine tracks at the Kingsmill Resort. Everyone is entitled to his opinion but, sorry to say, the article could have been way more thoughtful. Rochester? Now really.
