Marbella, Spain

My other passion besides travel is to play golf. And I love to combine them both:) This is La Quinta golf course from a golf trip to Andalucia. There are soooo many courses there. The best (and priciest) are Valderama and Sotogrande.

This is from Marbella Country Club. So so course, but tought to walk. And it was pouring rain after the 4th hole. I was there in November 2002

Austin, Texas

Most people go to Austin for the music and BBQ. But there are some great golf courses too. I don't remember the name of the ones I played. March was a nice time to visit, before it gets hot.

Cooperstown, New York

Cooperstown is famous for the baseball hall of fame. But they also have 2 excellent old style golf courses. By that I mean lots of trees and small undulating greens. The morning fog of Letherstocking golf course was spectacular.

Here is the same course several hours later, on the 18th hole. Gone is the fog, and a beautiful day is ahead, including a visit to the baseball hall of fame.

Stockholm, Sweden

On this trip in the summer of 04 I golfed in my home country for the first time. I didn't pick up the game until after I move to the US. This is Annika Sorenstam's home course just outside of Stockholm. A really nice and very walkable course. This club house has a shrine/wall of fame for Annika, including the red shoes she wore to win the Nabisco.

I chipped to within 2 feet from here. Best shot all week:)

Emmaboda, Sweden

This amazing course is located in the Smaland region of Southern Sweden. A region famous for its lakes and forest. This may be the most nature experience I have ever had on a golf course. Viyah Sing has played here, and his former coach is the club pro. A MUST play course.

Emmaboda, Sweden

The morning fog off the lake was so pretty, and made you have to guess where you actually hit the ball. Notice it in the bunker he he. I lost a few balls on this round, and could not care less.
