Ultimate Golf Holiday – Monterey Peninsula Photo Guide

There are various golfing hotspots around the world where you can find a handful of world class golf courses just a stone’s throw from each other. The South coast of Wales, Myrtle Beach in South Carolina and the Southport area are great examples of such golfing goldmines but the ultimate golfing hotspot has to be the Monterey Peninsula in California where three of the best and most breathtakingly beautiful golf courses in the world sit on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Pebble Beach may be the most famous of the three but Spyglass Hill and Cypress Point are arguably as good. Whichever way you look at it, it’s hard to think of a relatively small patch of land that is home to 54 holes of such quality anywhere else in the world.

But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell,
I’ve Wandered Through The Fires Of Hell.

My Life Has Not Been Quite The Same
Since I Chose To Play This Stupid Game. Read more

Golfing across Mongolia – The World’s Longest Golf Course?

What the highest number of shots you have ever had on the golf course? Let’s be honest…we have all had ‘one of those days’ where we can’t come close to swinging the club anywhere near well enough to post a decent score and to make things worse golf has a way of kicking you when you’re down. Bad bounces, phantom gusts of wind and lip outs all seem to be more frequent when you’re down in the dumps on the course but I doubt any of you have ever taken 12,170 shots before. Read more

Best Holes in Golf – The Ultimate 18

Every golfer has a list of dream golf courses that they would do almost anything to play. From the St Andrews Old Course to the impossibly beautiful Augusta National the options are endless and I for one really struggle to put a finger on the one and only course that I would choose to play above all others. I do however have a number of individual holes that I simply must play before my body no longer permits me to and I have compiled them all into one fantasy golf course. Six par 3s, six par 4s and six par 5s have made the list and, like many other golfers, I would sell my soul to get a chance to play them. Read more
