Golfing In the Alps
By Bob Enzel “Smell that fresh mountain air” my golf cart companion said to me as we traversed the course high above the village of Megeve in the Savoie Region of France. Ten years ago I sniffed this same mountain air when I skied this golf course under several feet of snow . Actually, I […]
Pok-Ta-Pok Golf Course
By Bob Enzel I’ve always wanted to play Pok-Ta-Pok. I guess the name intrigued me. The course is situated on a peninsula between Cancun City and the Hotel Zone and is set in a picturesque community of shops, small hotels, residences and boat harbors.

ZÜRICH – Forty years is a long time
By Bob Enzel When I was a tourist in Zűrich over forty years ago it didn’t strike me as a place I wanted to re-visit. I felt it to be a cold-business-like city compared to Geneva which seemed to be more visitor friendly. Many times during this time frame I was in Zűrich to […]

Golfing With Haydn
By Bob Enzel Well! Not in person exactly, but certainly in spirit. Tucked away in the easternmost portion of Austria about an hour’s drive from Vienna is Haydn-country, officially known as Burgenland. Flat as your stomach–perhaps–but impeccably designed for a challenging round amidst gorgeous scenery is the Golf Club Neusiedlersee Donnerskirchen. However, before I entice […]
