Does anyone know when this issue comes out?

I've done, and continue to do, many things that would get me hung in the south, such as celebrating the birthday of Burnin' Billy Sherman and planning to name my first born son Tecumseh or Ulysess.

 

Damn Yankee

Its the current issue.

Thistle in North Myrtle is run by a bunch of transplanted NY guys, very friendly also, great staff!

 

It seemed like every staff person at Legends was a transplant: Michigan, NY, Canada... I don't think we talked to a single employee who was a native SCer.

Its the current issue.

 

The one with Mickelson on the cover?

Its the current issue.

 

Don't think it's the current issue, because I haven't got it in the mail yet.

Got my GD in and reading the article right now. Look the buddy trips spin they put on it, I have eaten at a lot of the steak places they talk about, love Angelo's

So mine finally came today and I have to say that the Myrtle Beach buddy trip looks pretty great. Just getting groups of 30+ guys together to play golf and play there would be quite a trip.

The costs quoted in GD didn't sound unreasonable at all either. I can't imagine what a similar trip to Monterey over here would cost...

The costs stated were all on the high end also, prime Spring season. My trip is 4 nights, 4 rounds (with replays available) for 318.00 per person, playing 2 of the top courses listed ( Tiger's Eye and Leopard's Chase) and 2 upper mid tier courses. Last year we had 52 people go on our trip, and it was a blast, nothing, I repeat, nothing, can top a buddy trip, especially to Myrtle Beach.

 

I also want to make Bob join us out for a beer when we get down there too!

$500 for the plane ticket is a deal killer.

I had to check though

[JohnBarry]

Sometimes there are specials, but most are from the North East, and Mid West, Myrtle Beach as a whole targeted those markets. Sometimes there are Spirit Air Direct Flights for $9.00, yes 9 bucks.

 

Sac you just have so much good golf over there, they don't target your market. Build up some mileage and come out!

Tough to build miles with a 4 mile commute. By bike some days too...

There is always the "See America" Cross Country Trip!!
