Now that you have slected your course for life
« on: July 23, 2012, 09:48:07 PM »
I liked the one course for the rest of your life thread, but when I play that version of fantasy golf I give myself a home course and a vacation course (1 week per year). 

So for instance, I might choose TOC to play every day and then Lahinch for one week each year.

At the very least I expect this version of the game to bring Pine Valley, Oakmont, Royal County Down, etc. more into play.

What is your ideal pairing?

Perhpas we could say money is no object and that weather and location should not prevent you from selecting a home course.

Ok...

I'll take Rivermont for my every day course and Dismal River for my vacation course.   ;D

But for my second options, I'd go with The Golf Club everyday coupled with Morfontaine for my vacation course.  (FYI, I haven't played Morfontaine, but damn it looks amazing).

Well, since I selected Old MacDonald, I'll just have to vacation on Bandon Trails, Pacific Dunes, and Bandon Dunes.

I will stay with my current home courses of Olympic Lake for challenge and good friends, Oakbourne Cc to be near the house and good friends . Champions to be by the office and good friends and MPCC Shore for pure fun and the best of living by vacation home. No need for fantasy real life has it good and real life is also very real on the tough side too.

I'd take Oakmont as home course and Ballyneal as vacation course.

Course for life....Augusta (good enough to host a major every year...good enough to play every day).

Cypress for vacation. Monterey is just too beautiful to not visit.

Never let the quality of your game determine the quality of your time spent playing it.

I'll stick with what I've got, Southampton summer and Palmetto winter.
Now if I just had time to play either.........

Black Sheep as my home course.  Could play every day for the rest of my life (only problem is the crappy Chicago winters).

Vacation course would be Cypress Point as it is the most beautiful spot on the face of the earth.
