Atlantic Golf – South River Course
By Bob Enzel There are three courses under Atlantic Golf. Two of them, Queenstown and South River are situated on the Eastern Shore not far from Annapolis. The Potomac Ridge course is just outside the Beltway in Waldorf, MD. All are considered excellent public courses, but South River was recently mentioned in the “Baltimore Business […]
Renditions Revisited
By Bob Enzel I don’t believe that Renditions is a difficult course for everyone, but it is for me. For instance, on the dreaded water hole reminiscent of TPC Sawgrass I put the ball on the edge of the green in one. Then proceeded to four putt. On the next hole, I cut the corner […]
Renditions
By Bob Enzel My golfing buddy Joe called and asked if I wanted to play a course called Renditions? I said, sure. Then Joe said “have you ever heard of it?” No, I responded. He then suggested I go on-line and check it out, which I did… So, here’s the ‘skinny’. If you’ve ever dreamed […]
Sestriere – Winter Olympics 2006
By Bob Enzel The crowds of yesteryear have disappeared. The cheers and jeers have long been forgotten in the Olympic town of Sestriere; the names of winners and losers have faded from memory. It is late September almost two years later. The 96 Kilometer ride from Torino–the home city of the 2006 Olympics–to Sestriere took […]
Triple Trouble In Williamsburg
By Bob Enzel The FORD’S COLONY COUNTRY CLUB sports three lovely courses mentioned by Golf Digest as “Places to Play” in Virginia. This four and a half star rated golf club boasts it to be the “highest rating in Virginia.” I can’t agree or contest this quote but I can vouch for 54 beautifully laid […]
The Osprey’s Golf Club
By Bob Enzel Second visit… It was about a year ago that I played Osprey and managed to lose about a dozen balls in the brush. This time I came prepared with extra balls and also brought my Tennessee golfing friend George along with the suggestion that he also bring extra balls. There are only […]
Vignette on Wine and Cheese So Many Wines. So Much Cheese. So Little Time.
By Bob Enzel The one thing I knew before hand when I traveled through France and Italy was that it would be impossible to cross the threshold of the many wine and cheese districts without reflecting on great wines to taste and mellow cheese to savor. Situated in a bucolic countryside setting, the enchanting “Mont […]
Military Golf Courses – Oahu Hawaii
By Bob Enzel Oahu offers a good variety of military golf courses. Unfortunately my daughter and I didn’t have time to play all six courses, but we did manage to whack our way around half of them and visit some of the others. There are five 18-hole courses and one 9-hole to select from–some with driving […]
A World Famous Resort with No Americans? Impossible!
By Bob Enzel All skiers have heard of the Pyrénées Mountains yet only a few have ever skied them and most have only a vague idea of what countries they encompass. For the record, the Pyrénées Mountains run along the top of Spain and bottom of France gathering in Andorra along the way. In days […]
Greenland – Hands On or Hands Off
By Bob Enzel High winds delayed our scheduled afternoon departure from Baltimore and most of our hosts were already in bed when we arrived in Kangerlussuaq. At first glance Kangerlussuaq appeared to have the personality of an abandoned mining town, but in actuality it was a former U.S. air base. Here’s the way the trip […]
