Just finished your (Nov-dec.)
issue of troon Golf and travel
and wanted to relate how much
I enjoyed it. having played many
troon Courses (I keep going back
to Kierland) I can always count on
a first-rate experience. Your production is in the same category.
after reading your article about
waterColor I am definitely going
to check it out. thanks for a good
read and I am looking forward to
the next issue.
Kindest regards

Par Cigar,” in the Nov.-Dec. 2010
eMagazine)
Editor,
I am very much in favor of letting
other people do what they want,
but cigar smoking while playing
golf would ruin my day if I were
playing with that person. I do not
think that I am alone in feeling
the same way.

John: Thanks for writing. You
bring up a good point. There is a lot
of anti-smoking sentiment nowa-
days, myself included. I particularly
bristle over cigarette smoke and am
very glad smoking is banned almost
everywhere indoors.
From Facebook posting of Malcolm
Campbell's article, “Ryder Reflections”
(Nov.-Dec. 2010 eMagazine)
Great article mr. Campbell. the
paint ball is a great idea. I believe
anyone who celebrates too much
over something he is supposed to
do should be lined up and shot.
But with paint balls of course.
Bruce
Let us know your thoughts on
cigar smoking on the golf course,
determining which tee to play by
length off the tee or any other
article in Troon Golf & Travel
that stirs you: editor@
troongolfandtravel.com
NOTE: We posted the following
notice on Facebook referring to
the "Think Swing Speed" article
by Arthur D. Little in our Nov.-Dec.
2010 eMagazine. It got a couple of
good responses.
“Troon Golf: How do you think
golfers should choose what tees
they hit from? This article from
TROON GOLF & TRAVEL suggests
golfers use their 9-iron to answer
that question (which could help
speed up play on the course)…
take a look.”
Matt Shankweiler: Great article! I
have long felt distance off the tee
should be the key metric on determining which box to play from.
I am a pretty low handicapper
but am not long off the tee. the
whites (or two in from tips on a
four- or five-box course) suits me
fine. It’s a more enjoyable round
and faster play.
Mike Miller: when I was stationed in Germany we played a
course in nearby Luxembourg.
the clubhouse staff wanted to
see each of us hit the ball before
they would allow us to tee off.
we thought that was weird.
But I guess I can see why they
wouldn't want a bunch of
hackers holding up players on
their course.
