Ultimate Golf Vacation

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

John Pawlett asked:


Your husband’s thinking about going on a weekend golf getaway. Only this time, he wants you to come along and golfing isn’t your thing. Spending two days cooped up in a cheap hotel while your man is off walking the courses isn’t your idea of fun. But there’s no reason for the ultimate golf vacation to become your nightmare. Instead make it your ultimate golf vacation too! The smart woman takes advantage of the trip and turns a boring weekend of bogeys and eagles into her own custom-built holiday full of great times!

First of all, consider the destination. Is your husband thinking of having his mini-vacation somewhere out in the desert? Convince him that a course near a long, white-sanded beach somewhere in the sun might be the best choice for having the best game. Remind him that after a hard day of golfing, he’ll need a place where he can relax and cool off in the water. While he’s off trying to make par, you’ll be enjoying your ultimate golf vacation by lying on the beach, sipping margaritas and listening to the sound of the waves!

Transportation to your destination is the second consideration. Use your wiles and wits to flatter his ego and let him know that he deserves better than he imagined. Remind him how smug he’ll feel when he’s telling his co-workers at the office that he’s flying to a different country for an ultimate golf vacation. Tell your husband you’ve already looked into it and provide him the list of vacation destinations for his ultimate golf vacation, of course!

Don’t forget accommodations. Your husband will be pleased to see you sorting through pamphlets and promotions for only the best hotels, especially when he hears that you think his ultimate golf vacation should be memorable. Point out that a location with restaurant services will allow him to have extra time on the course and you won’t have to cook!

Your husband will need entertainment in the evenings to take his mind off the stressful game of golfing. After all, he needs to unwind so that when he returns to the greens in the morning, he’ll be fresh and ready to play. The ultimate golf vacation should include some great nightlife and your husband will be touched when you tell him it’s to help him forget about that eagle he missed by one shot or that hole-in-one that was two inches too short.

Make sure your husband knows you’re going to all this trouble because you love him, and he deserves the cream of the crop. It’s perfectly fine to boost his morale by telling him he just might end up being noticed by world-class players while he’s out there golfing! Meanwhile, you’ll be kicking back with the latest hot read of the summer, luxuriating in the peace and quiet as a beachside waiter makes your drink just the way you like it. Who says an ultimate golf vacation is just for golfers? Smart women can enjoy them too!

Is anyone planning to vacation in myrtle beach,sc?

coco asked:


I’ve a beautiful town house that sleeps 10, and it’s about 3 miles to the beach in the glens international golf club.
Please check it out at southern coast vacations site.google it.
If you split the cost between two or three small famillies it’s a bargain. there is a full kitchen, that you don’t have to spend so much money eating out. It beats paying 200 bucks for a hotel room.This property is about 1850.sq including the enclosed patio in the back. please let others know too.

Ben Franklin asked:


If you’ve been dying to take a Myrtle Beach golf vacation, but the rest of the family isn’t hip on a golf trip, play up the other options and you might just get your dream getaway. The community has more appeal than just golf, so don’t worry, while you’re on the course, your family can take in a number of different sites and still have plenty to do at the end of the day when you retire your clubs.

This South Carolina resort destination is known for two major things - golf and beaches. In between the two are literally hundreds of different options for sightseeing, shopping, dining and more.

Located on the South Carolina coast, this historic city has some major sites ranging from its beaches, golf courses and shopping districts to historic sites and amusement parks. Although you may want to go for the golf, your family will not be left out of the fun if Myrtle Beach is the destination.

Here are some of the major attractions to play up to help make that dream golf trip a reality:

* The area around Myrtle Beach is known for its live entertainment. The community is home to the Carolina Opry, the Alabama Theatre, The House of Blues and more. There’s also a Medieval Times dinner theater, the Palace Theatre and more.

* Amusement parks and other adventuresome destinations also call the Myrtle Beach area home. In the general area, visitors will find such attractions as the Children’s Museum of South Carolina, Broadway at the Beach, Ghosts and Legends, Family Kingdom Amusement Park and Ocean Front Water Park, Myrtle Waves Water Park and a number of raceways to name just a few options.

* Outdoors fun. In addition to golfing, the Myrtle Beach area boasts more than 60 miles of beaches. The waters in and around the area are perfect for not only swimming, but also boating, fishing, surfing, kayaking, parasailing and more. If the beaches don’t appeal, there’s the Intracoastal Waterway to explore, plus rivers, creeks, marshes and more.

* When it comes to dining, Myrtle Beach is a hungry person’s dream destination. With more than 1,600 restaurants, just about every cuisine on the planet is available. From fresh catches to steaks, ethnic foods and more, Myrtle Beach has no shortage of options.

* Shopping is also a popular pastime in this town. The city is home to hundreds of boardwalk specialty shops, traditional malls and more.

* Nightlife. The Myrtle Beach area is home to dozens and dozens of clubs and more to help keep the nightlife hopping.

* Museums/Arts/More. If something indoors doesn’t appeal, the area is also home to a number of museums, galleries and more “artsy” destinations. Plus, there are tons of historic sites in and around the area to explore.

If a golf getaway tops your list of things to do but doesn’t top your family’s, Myrtle Beach is a great suggestion. Offering something for just about anyone, this South Carolina resort is famous for golf and a whole lot more.
