I am going to make it a point to start covering more "world" golf here at the GolfDash blog. There are just so many cool courses, venues and styles of golf - particularly on the European Tour.
One upcoming tournament is the The Estoril Open de Portugal which will return to the
Penha Longa Hotel Spa & Golf Resort from April 1-4, one of Europe’s most avant-garde golf venues following a 2 million refurbishment program.
The Atlantic course was designed by Robert Trent Jones and is typically ranked in the top 30 courses in continental Europe.
To see the beauty of the course take this

What's especially nice about the site is that you can look at a global 'top 100' list or browse by region.
I wanted to do something a little different in a post so I decided to compile a LOT of great content about golfing in Scotland. I had no idea we had this much Scottish golf content!
So if your ever looking to take a Scottish golf trip this might be a good post to look at (and refer to) for research before you embark.
My GolfDash partner, John, returned from a trip recently with tons of good Scottish golf course recommendations, places to stay, how to handle those knarly links conditions and other observations.
Additionally, he has written many other terrific pieces featuring
golf in Scotland so I'll let him take all ...
Come to Austin for the football, the food, the music and, most certainly, for golf at Horseshoe Bay.
If you haven't played golf in Texas you're missing out on courses that have been home to some of the best players on Tour.
The plan is to head out to Vegas soon for a little gambling, R & R, golf and my wife HAS to see
Barry Manilow so the trip is now in the queue.
I have been to Vegas a number of times - mostly to trade shows with former companies I worked with. But I always loved the beauty, weather and energy of the place. I mean, in 10 minutes you can escape the hustle and bustle in be in the desert - not bad.
I am looking to play a few courses while there including:
TPC Las Vegas (see photo above): Here's the description:
There's a reason TPC Las Vegas has ...
I have had a relationship with Sweden now going on 20 years. Actually, my GolfDash partner, John, was my boss way back then and sent me to Stockholm as kind of a "work exchange" program. Since that time I have made a number of good friends there and a few really close ones.
I would say I have been there now going on 7-8 different occasions - from when I was a young bachelor to bringing over my wife and family a few years back.
So I have always kept my eye on Swedish golf and there seem to be so many top golfers coming from such a tiny country whose population is ...
If you’re lucky enough to land tickets for a PGA Tour event, it is imperative that you practice proper spectator etiquette to ensure a relaxing, fun, and smooth experience. Then again you could head for the FBR Open at TPC Scottsdale which is loud, raucous and well, yes, drunk spectating at its best – and worst.
So at least try to:
Please be Quiet (Please!)
It is especially important to be quiet and stand still when a player is preparing and just about to make their swing. It is simply distracting for players who are trying to focus on their game. It is probably best to leave cell phones in the car or even ...
Like him or not you have to admire Greg Norman's penchant for starting businesses. He starts one as easy at Tiger drops 6 footers.
This time he is getting involved with Australian grain-fed beef. Greg is teaming up with the world's biggest beef producer, the Australian Agricultural Company which will lead to the launch of the Greg Norman Australian Prime beef brand on to export markets.
As it says on his website:
AAco is Australia's leading beef producer, laying claim to some of the world's largest cattle stations, properties totalling more than 20 million acres in Australia's north.
Through careful breeding and control procedures, AAco has developed a range of fully DNA trackable, consistently high-quality ...
If you've had the great good fortune to play links golf in Scotland, you probably know how much of a factor the weather is. When it's warm and sunny with no wind - a rare occurrence - you might get the idea that links courses are not so difficult. That notion gets thrown out the window as soon as the wind and rain arrive.
It makes such a difference for these courses that many change the par daily based on the weather - it's posted right at the starter's shack! This makes a lot of sense when a good score on any given course could be 75 or 90, depending ...
