jcreature jcreature Hacker Registered: 11/29/07 Posts: 3	A friend and I want to spend a few weeks on the road hitting courses in the U.S. that are near different urban centers but are kind of undiscovered gems -- as opposed to the tried and true -- in terms of challenging play and great scenery to boot. Does anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks.

Two nice courses with lot of nice scenery. _________________________ Putting is easy, getting the ball in the hole is hard. Later, Don.

Tobacco Road isn't quite that unknown as it's listed on Golf Digests Top 10 hardest courses in America, along with Tot Hill farm which is within an hour of Tobacco Road. Both very tough tracks but The Road is my favorite of the two. Rock Barn's got a SPGA tour event there each year so that might not be so unknown for you. _________________________ The reason the pro tells you to keep your head down is so you can't see him laughing.

Does anybody know if that's true? Thanks in advance for the information. _________________________ Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated. - Arnold Palmer
