PlaidJacket Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I just finished sending out an email to a bunch of guys suggesting a golf trip in April at Barton Creek Resort in Austin Texas. Last year me and many of the guys on my list took three trips. We'll probably do about the same this year. In 2015 we didn't take what I like to call the BIG one. Big ones for us have been destinations such as Pine Hurst, Bandon, Augusta (Masters week), RTJT, etc. We've talked some about going to Kohler/Erin Hills in 2016 but I'm not sure we all really want to spend that much anymore for a BIG trip. We can do several smaller and closer to home trips and still play great golf courses for much less money. And.. the travel is easier and less of a hassle. So let's hear it. What golf trips are you planning for 2016?

Kenny B Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'm headed to Florida Feb 1-13. Hope to me several Spys. Will spend Feb 1-4 in or near St. Augustine/Daytona Beach, then head to Orlando. I will head over to Tampa/St. Pete to meet Rev, Foz, and anyone else that can make it (dates are flexible). I am also considering another trip later in the year. I usually head to Central Oregon, but I could go to Alberta/British Columbia. Had to pass up the Minnesota trip last summer, so I will also entertain suggestions from MGS members for golf trips. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveP043 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I have a couple planned. A friend from my home club here in Virginia has retired and bought a second home in La Quinta, CA. He's invited three other couples to join him and his wife for a week, January 16-23. The temperatures here are finally falling, it'll be nice to get to a warm dry place in a few weeks. I'm also going to Ireland in June. I had intended to go for a week, but my wife suggested that since I'm turning 60 this year, maybe a second week is in order. So its us and one other couple, two weeks, 8 rounds of golf from Ballyliffin in the north to Waterville to the south.

I had my left knee replaced two years ago November. Should have done it sooner. Keep doing the therapy, even longer than they say. It really does make a difference. I like the Palm Springs area and try to get there every once in awhile.
