For what it's worth--Here are other reasons for choosing Sandestin. 1. It's near a wide open ocean where you can go swimming. Where do you swim in Arizona? In a common swimming pool, and God knows what kind of dead skin is floating around in there. 2. If you have to travel 50 miles to a golf course, how far do you have to go to buy groceries? At Sandestin, you call for a bus and for $5 you're taken to a Winn-Dixie with adjoining liquor store, you shop at your leisure, and then a bus comes back and takes you to your house. And if you've held on to your Winn-Dixie discount card, you get money back. 3. I'm going to repeat myself, but....I'd rather have shrimp on the barbie than cooked prarie gophers. Sure, they taste like chicken, but who wants chicken when you can get barbie shrimp! 4. We will have re-entered a nice comfort zone at Sandestin and that produces less stress and less stress produces better golf and who wouldn't prefer playing at optimal performance? Eh, like knowing the proper irons to hit to a familiar green. Who wants to fudge around with unfamiliar distances? No, my friends, a sober assessment of where to go for November golf leads to only one conclusion--Sandestin, sis-boom-bah!
