Mike asked:


We are planning a trip in April or May to celebrate our first-born.
I would love to play some golf.
We are on a budget, so nothing over $100, preferably a couple of good courses in the $50s. I am decent player, and not scared of a good challenge.
There is a million courses near Myrtle, so any help would be appreciated. Please share your experiences, a little about the course, cost, telephone number or website.
Thanks a bunch!

Brittany is just a pleasant ferry journey away or you can take the motorway from Calais or even fly from many UK airports to several in Brittany. The sheer number of high- quality golf courses in Brittany make it the ideal location for golfers seeking a luxury holiday with easy-to-get-to access and that French “je ne sais quoi!”

Here are 5 courses that should make you consider a Brittany golf holiday.

5. Dinard

The oldest golf course in Brittany (and the second oldest in the country!) starts our list. Designed by celebrated golfing architect Willie Dunn all the way back in 1887, this is a course that has improved with age and simply has it all: great golf, sensational coastal views and a charming Art Deco clubhouse. It isn’t for novices though, despite being a short 5814 yards - it starts off easily, but quickly ramps up the difficulty to tax the most experienced of golfers. If you can manage it, try and play midweek as it’s popular with members at weekends.

4. Nantes La Vigneux

Nantes Vigneux is full of surprises - fortunately, they’re all of the pleasant variety for experienced golfers. Designed by Frank Pennink, this course really is a hidden gem. Lovely fairways, delightful woodland, and a relaxed atmosphere are countered by the difficulty of the small greens and the River Cens. First timers may struggle to get a good score, but this is one course that gets better every time you play it, meaning that one Brittany golf holiday may not be enough for this gem.

3. Val Andre

At only 15 years old, it’s easy to overlook Val Andre as a young pretender to the prestige of some of the older golf courses in Brittany. However, Val Andre is one of France’s best “new” courses. The wide fairways will do their best to lull you into a false sense of security but that will soon vanish after your first three putt on the tricky greens (made all the more difficult by the coastal winds!). Expertly maintained, Val Andre is well worth a day’s golf on a golf holiday in Brittany - not just for the course, but for the fabulous views and splendid seafood on offer in the nearby coastal town.

2. Saint-Laurent

Perhaps the most famous golf course in Brittany, Saint-Laurent has hosted the PGA Championship on numerous occasions and offers a suitably challenging parkland test. Tough off the back, friendly off the front, you have to have all the shots in the bag to put a good score together. It’s a classic design with great variety and a lovely “clubby” feel to the place.

1. La Baule

La Baule is the most popular golf course in Brittany and one of our clients’ favourites. What you get is two fine 18 hole courses - the Red and the Blue - and the jury is out as to which one is the better. With a hotel on site, many clients “play and stay” for a few days, enjoying not only the golf but the nearby resort and myriad of restaurants. The golf course designers were Dave Thomas, Michel Gayon, Jack Nicklaus Jnr and Peter Alliss - they don’t disappoint. This is parkland golf at its prettiest and requires a tight driving game to the lush fairways. As they say, “keep the ball in play and the pars look after themselves”. With the round topped off by the smart thatched-roof club house, golf days in Brittany don’t come much better than this.

Honourable mentions must include the courses at La Bretesche and Saint Malo…With so many great courses and just a short ferry and drive from England’s south coast, Brittany makes the perfect escape for golfers. Consider a golf holiday in Brittany next time you feel like hitting the fairways with friends!

Golf course communities are the perfect option for many golf enthusiasts. Some offer a luxury cabin with a view of the mountains while other golf course homes let you gaze out over the greens while still being close to all of the amenities. Whether you are looking for a great place to vacation or just want to live closer to the course, these types of neighborhoods give you a wide variety of options to choose from.

Community Types

Years ago, golf course communities were solely reserved for middle to high-level incomes and were often restricted to people of retirement age. Today, some of these areas are still restricted while others are open to people from all walks of life and all ages. Some golf course homes attract many different types of people, from young families to single retirees, in order to create a bright and thriving community. This allows you to experience the advantage of diversity such as several of the communities in Teton Valley. Real estate that is generation-restricted accepts people with certain needs and interests so they can offer them a wide range of options in these areas.

Location vs. Family Needs

In order to be completely happy with the golf course community you choose, the location of your new home needs to meet the particular needs of your family. For working families, being close to a job and recreational facilities is a huge benefit. For those looking to retire on the other hand, warmer climates and the distance from health care come into play. If you like to ski in the winter, look at mountainous regions such as Teton Valley. Real estate decisions can also include factors such as the local nightlife or special interest groups.

If you are searching for golf course homes purely for vacations, consider what type of climate you prefer and what sorts of activities you would like to partake in. Another area to consider is the people around you. Are you single and looking to socialize with other area singles your age? Maybe you would like a group of fellow golfers to spend time with who have other interests in common.

The Style Of Golf Course Homes Available

Golf course communities provide you with several different housing options. Single-family homes, duplexes, and apartment complexes are commonly available in a wide variety of sizes and floor plans. Other golf developments offer unique options like some of those in Teton Valley. Real estate options in this region include rustic lodges, quaint cabins, and ranch estates.

The type of purchase also varies. Some of these developments are condominiums that require you to pay a monthly fee for the upkeep of the grounds and facilities. Others are member-equity owned where you purchase a portion of the development and share it with the other owners by making a reservation.

Golf course communities are ideal for combining the love of golf with your daily life. You can choose to live in a cabin nestled in the mountains, or you can live along the waterfront right next to the green. Once you have looked at all of the options and decided what you need, the hard part begins - trying to choose just one!

If you own and/or operate your own business, did you know that you can take a cut shot to be a profit masters? That is right! All you have to do is be a golf course builder to attract the customers that you desire! In golf, a cut shot is normally referred to a shot that is played for the purpose and intent of getting the golf ball to go around, over, or under a specific obstruction. It is a risky shot, to say the least, but if it is successful, you will be that much closer to a victory.

When we have our own business, there are many obstructions to overcome in order to build the success that we desire. The biggest challenge is getting customers. Think of the world as free land to build a golf course. You have to be an outstanding golf course builder to attract the customers that you desire!

1. The very first step to getting people interested in the course that you are building is to convince those people that you are an expert as a golf course builder. When it comes to your home based business, of course, you are not really building a golf course this is all just for the sake of comparison. The same concept holds true for any industry that you become part of you must establish yourself as an expert in your industry. If you do this, they will come.

2. In order to become a profits master, most golf course builders will offer some sort of special deal on the first month of membership. This may include buy a month, get a free month, or just the first month being free, and so on. The thing is, these profit masters offered something for their customers up front to attract them into the golf course itself. If you have a business and want to bait potential customers into your website, you should offer something up front! This may be a free gift, a free membership, or even something as simple as an eBook. Once your have the customers hooked, they will swim right towards you.

3. Most golf course builders know the need to have a service that teaches individuals who want to learn golf, how to play. This is all part of building up their business. When it comes to owning and operating your own home based business, it is important to have an area where you teach potential customers, and even potential affiliates! Customers are curious by nature. You should have a F.A.Q section that details the answers to any and all questions that a customer has.

If they are looking for specific answers and cannot find them, they will leave your website and probably never return. First impressions are essential when it comes to obtaining new customers. As shown here, you can easily become one of the many profit masters in the world that are also considered to be a golf course builder! All you have to do is consider the outline above, and put it to work for you! If you would like to know more about making the world a personal golf construction project to attract customers.

Golf Etiquette is about More than Just Manners. It is like have good table manners when you are dining in a fine restaurant with someone.

Etiquette is a word that’s often heard in relation to golf, more so than with any other sport. But it’s not just about manners.

There are some rules of golf etiquette are what they are for several very important reasons:

Many of them relate to the safety of golfers, many relate to pace of play (which helps keep the game enjoyable), and other rules of golf etiquette relate to maintaining the quality of the golf course.

In other words, golf etiquette is an essential and important part of the game. And it’s something that newcomers to the game often learn as they go - on the course, when playing with more experienced golfers.

If you are new to the game, or just need to brush up on your golf etiquette, here are some basic rules of the road that will help keep the game enjoyable for you and those around you.

Keep It Safe * Do not swing your club until you know that others in your group are at a safe distance.

Likewise, keep your distance when others are swinging. Be aware to steer clear of trouble. * When practicing your swing, never swing in the direction of another player. There may be pebbles or twigs or other matter in the grass that could fly up and injure a playing partner. * Do not hit the ball until you are certain that the group ahead of you is out of range. * If your ball appears headed toward another player or another group, give them a warning by yelling out, “Fore!” * Observe the safety suggestions posted in golf carts and drive carefully. Golf etiquette requires keeping your cart off the grass as much as possible. * Never throw clubs in anger. In addition to being rude and childish, it could also be dangerous.

Maintain a Good Pace * Keep the round moving by being prepared to hit your shot when it is your turn. You probably don’t like waiting on other groups - don’t make other groups wait on you. * The player who is away hits first in a group. However, in friendly matches (as opposed to tournament play), this rule can be ignored in favor of “ready play” - players hit as they are ready. All players should agree to “ready play” before it is put into effect. * Do not spend too much time looking for a lost ball, particularly if there is a group behind you ready to play. If you insist on taking the full five minutes alloted to look for lost balls, golf etiquette says wave up the group behind to allow them to play through. * Always try to keep pace with the group ahead of you. If space opens in front of you, allow a faster group to play through. * When two players in a cart hit to opposite sides of a hole, drive to first ball and drop off that player with his club, then drive to the second ball. After both players hit, meet up farther down the hole. * When walking from your cart to your ball, take a couple clubs with you. Taking only one club, then having to return to the cart to retrieve a different club, is a huge time-waster. * Always leave the putting green as soon as your group has finished putting.

More Tips for Fighting Slow Play

Be Kind to the Course * Observe cart rules. Some courses will post “cart path only” signs; others will ask you to observe the “90-degree rule.” Do as you are told. * Keep carts away from greens and hazards. * Repair all divots. * Repair all ball marks on the green. * Always rake sand traps after hitting to erase your footprints and damage to the area where your ball was. * Never take a divot on a practice swing.

And a Few More Golf Etiquette Hints * Quiet, please! Never talk during another player’s swing. * Do not yell out following a shot. Even if boisterous behavior doesn’t bother your playing partners, there are other people on the course who may be within earshot. * Be aware of your shadow on the putting green. Don’t stand in a place that causes your shadow to be cast across another player or that player’s putting line. * Never walk through a playing partner’s putting line. Your footprints might alter the path of a partner’s putt. Step over the putting line, or walk around (behind) the partner’s ball.

So, the next time you are on the course, do take note of the above golf manners and I am sure you will not only enjoy your game, your score will also indirectly improve. Till next time, see ya!

Happy teeing off!

Max Lloyd asked:


If you have just read our initial article on one of the best strategies a golf player can use to predict how far each shot will travel during ideal conditions, you should already be making plans to take a practice session!

In case you missed part one of the strategy, a quick recap is simple: Back in the 1950s, professional golf player Deane Bemon was the first person to officially use a technique to learn how far each of his golf clubs would hit the ball. He simply practiced swinging every one of his clubs and measured exactly how far the ball traveled.

This technique is so simple, yet overlooked by the majority of golf players today. All you have to do in order to utilize the strategy is to take a day when the weather conditions are perfect, find a large empty field that can handle the distance of your longest drive, and hit a few shots from each club so that you can measure the distance of each ball.

Make Sure You Measure By Using The Average Distance

In part one of this article series, you were instructed to hit 7 to 10 balls with each club and measure the distance in yards. One of the first things you will realize is that you cannot hit the ball as far as you thought you could, before getting a solid understanding of each club’s capabilities. One mistake that amateur golfers make when breaking down their distances is using the longest distance measured when playing a real game.

Leave Room For Error When Playing A Real Game

A real golf game will not have the same ideal conditions in which you were accustomed to during your test measures. You’ll never be able to make contact with the ball perfectly square and hitting the club face’s sweet spot each and every time. The same goes for professional golfers. So the key to using this strategy is to use the average distance of each club during a golf game.

Once you have a crystal-clear idea of exactly how far each of your clubs will cause the ball to travel, your self-confidence and clarity on the golf course will improve tremendously. All of the guesswork is taken out of your shot and you are left with technique and full knowledge of your capabilities in terms of how far you can knowingly hit the ball with whatever club you choose.

Beginner golfer? No problem, here is a great tip how to choose a club:

Choosing Golf Club To Use

As you progress each shot down the fairway, the distance between your ball and the flagstick becomes shorter and shorter. This means that your goal is to hit the ball as far as possible from the tee shot. Then on all subsequent shots you will need to adjust your swing for accuracy and precision, not distance.

This requires that you utilize different clubs for different shots. The club faces are made from either metal or wood. Different materials on a golf club will have different effects on how far the ball will travel, and how high it will go.

Choosing An Iron or Wood

Generally speaking, the higher the number on the club, such as a 9-iron for example, the higher the ball will go into the air, but with much less distance than a lower-numbered club, such as a 3-iron.

If you are new to golf and are a little confused about these numbers and what clubs to use, don’t worry, in time you will have a specific feel for each and every one of your 14 clubs when playing on the golf course.
