Are Golfing Amenities Important? – Yes or No
By Bob Enzel We were sitting around one evening–my golf partners and I–when the subject of golf course amenities and the “complete golf experience” came up. I was looking for writing points on the several courses we had recently played, such as, ‘lots of traps’ and ‘water everywhere.’ Or, perhaps, ‘the narrow fairways were a […]
Enticing Davos
By Bob Enzel Forty-two years ago we drove from Lech, Austria, over the Fluela Pass to Davos, Switzerland, just to see what this famous resort looked like.

The Rookery at Marco
By Bob Enzel A large group of ski industry people were in Marco Island for an annual convention. And before it even crosses your mind that skiers shouldn’t be in warm climes, it’s a myth. Skiers need warm climates to thaw out after a long winter. So here we are in Marco with a golf […]

The Mont Blanc Glacier – Over, Under, and On Top
