USVirgin Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 That's exactly how Hank Haney described his experience being Tiger's swing coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Haven't played in the US in some 15 years but two favorite courses would be Presido in SF and Forest Hills in Augusta, GA (never had a chance to play the National). In Thailand, would have to say Alpine is my favorite, followed by Rajapruek and Plantation. In other parts of Asia I would have to say the Nicklaus course at Bintan Lagoon Resort (Indonesia).

rchapstick Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Presidio is terrific, but it has gotten quite pricey. For muni tracks, you've gotta love Torrey Pines in La Jolla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I was living in SF in the late 90's when they turned the managment of Presido over to the Arnold Palmer group. First thing they did was almost double the green fees. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVirgin Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I've seen a few decent munis turned to dog tracks under that 'umbrella', a disgrace to the man's rep. Don't even get me started on 'American Golf.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen4dummies Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Good post Spiceman. The worst course that I played on was the course that is near the Phnom Penh airport. Beatup gasoline engined golfcarts were all they had. A flock of chickens were on one fairway and others showed evidence of cattle having been there. The greens were so hard that a chip-on bounced so far that I never found the ball. Our local rule was that if you got to within a clubs length of the hole you were in and on one hole the rule was modified to 'if you can stick on the green you are in'. The kiosks amounted to two girls following us around with an ice chest. And we had a gallery: several kids followed us around retrieving water balls to sell back to us. It was so bad that it was fun. Attached is a picture of a boy with his home-made iron or maybe it should be called a wood. My favorite course is Black Mountain in Hua Hin, although a friend that lives there tells me that one of the new courses is equal to it. zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
