Golf Lessons

One member of our upcoming guys’ golf trip is complaining that he’s not up to par (no pun intended) with his golf game lately. I would like to be able to reassure him…but after playing a round with him this past weekend, I have to admit he’s right. In his defense, though, he couldn’t play for several weeks due to an injury.

He thinks it’s going to ruin the big group trip to Gulf Shores & Orange Beach this spring (maybe for him—not for me). But his little issue gave me an excellent idea: we should all take golf lessons while we’re down there.

A couple of the courses we play tout PGA professionals as part of their features; Kiva Dunes even offers golf clinics. And in my opinion, you can always benefit from some instruction—especially from a PGA professional.

Importance of Ratings

There’s something about knowing that someone else agrees with me that is so satisfying. It’s not that I need approval that what I think is “correct”—and certainly not when it comes to golf. I know whether or not I enjoy playing a particular course. I know that Kiva Dunes and Cypress Bend in Gulf Shores are both excellent golf courses based on my own experience.

But it’s still nice to know that others think the same, especially when those “others” are the Golf Digest folks. Both Kiva Dunes and Cypress Bend have been ranked as top golf courses by Golf Digest. Somehow it adds to my enjoyment when I play those courses. It’s Golf Digest, after all—those people must know what they’re talking about regarding anything golf.

Both of these golf courses, as well as several others, are part of the golf packages offered by Brett/Robinson. Check them out here.
