Dreaming About Golf

We had a snow day from school here today, and I’m sitting at home looking wistfully out the window at the piles of snow. It makes me think that I would really like to take a mid-winter golf vacation. Midwinter break is coming up in about six weeks … The question is where to go. I’ve never been to Myrtle Beach, but is sounds too commercial and contrived for my tastes. My brother tells me that you can’t throw a rock without hitting a course there. Friends who have been to the Florida golf areas tell me that it’s really expensive. On the other hand, I’ve got a couple of colleagues at school who go down to Alabama every year for a family beach vacation and really enjoy it. I’m thinking that doesn’t sound too bad. Its off the beaten path, and can’t be as expensive as Florida.

Anyone played winter golf in Alabama?
