FORE!!!

With all of the snow on the ground and more to come, I am sooooo ready to play some golf.

I know with patience the day will soon be here but it seems soooooo far away!

When warmer weather does finally bring golf, I intend to play several courses this year. What are your favorite courses? Any funny golf stories to tell?

Locally it is hands down that Dalhousie in Cape is top course around and the favorite.

Around the state of Missouri these are my top 10 favorites:

1) Porta Cima--Sunrise Beach

2) Branson Creek--Hollister

3) Bellerive CC--St louis

4) Dalhousie--Cape

5) Country Club of St. Albans

6) Old Kinderhook--Cambdenton

7) Old Warson--St Louis

8) Payne Stewart Golf Club--Branson

9) Highland Springs--Springfield

10)Boone Valley--Augusta

Nationally my favorite is Lake Nona in Orlando. Got to spend a lot of time there and at Isleworth...they are sister courses. Isleworth underwent a re-construction a few years ago and it is awesome now. I was lucky enough to play many great courses in Florida over the years--Seminole, The Floridian, Medalist Golf Club, The Bear's Club, Jupiter Hills, Jonathan's Landing, Loblolly Pines, Doral and many more.

Augusta GC is ranked #1 for the first time in many years. Pine Valley has always been #1. The Midwest has some fabulous golf courses. If you go to Gatlinburg, TN...Gatlinburg GC is a very nice course. A little known fact, but Illinois actually has about 7-8 courses in the top 50 in the country. Branson has some great golf courses. John Daly's Murder Rock is a neat course as well.

Enjoy!
