94&#8242; long and the baskets are 10&#8242;\u00a0high, always.\u00a0 But golf is different that way.\u00a0 Every course\u00a0is unique.\u00a0 Each course offers a different layout, different lengths,\u00a0different hazards, fairway widths and\u00a0green sizes.\u00a0 And that&#8217;s just the course itself.\u00a0 Play in different areas of the country and the scenery\/views are different, the wildlife on the course changes&#8230;it&#8217;s a new experience at every different course.\u00a0 So are you missing out on something by not playing a variety of\u00a0different courses?\u00a0 I think so.<\/p>\n<p>I think of this because\u00a0I&#8217;m friendly with a couple who play golf together.\u00a0 But rather than get out\u00a0and playing different courses and experiencing\u00a0all of the different nuances of\u00a0each\u00a0one, they use websites such as Groupon,\u00a0advertising specials at local courses.\u00a0 Now I&#8217;m all for saving a few bucks and getting a good deal, but when those specials bring you to the same course three out of four times, I&#8217;m sorry but&#8230;you&#8217;re missing out.\u00a0 At that point, if you&#8217;re looking for a deal and playing the same course that often, just become a member for crying out loud.<\/p>\n<p>Again,\u00a0I&#8217;m all for finding a good deal and package pricing, and I&#8217;ll do that with other purchases.\u00a0 But when it comes to golf,\u00a0I&#8217;ve never even considered it.\u00a0 I\u00a0want to play where I want to play.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t drive a certain car because it was the best deal&#8230;I drive a car I want to drive.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t go on vacation to wherever the cheapest airline tickets are&#8230;I go where I want to go.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t play a specific golf course because of their &#8220;$48 for two people with a cart, after 1:00 pm\u00a0on a Tuesday when there&#8217;s a full moon and the wind is blowing northeast\u00a0at over 7 miles per hour&#8221; special.\u00a0 Instead, I play the course I want to play.\u00a0 Now, if there happens to be a special at that course, then great!\u00a0 But I&#8217;m not basing whether I play it or not on a special.<\/p>\n<p>Am I looking at this wrong?\u00a0 Maybe I should just be happy that two more people are playing this game who wouldn&#8217;t be playing it otherwise.\u00a0 But I more want to tell them &#8220;Yeah, I&#8217;ve played that course also&#8230;it ain&#8217;t that great&#8230;you should try playing\u00a0(fill in course name here) instead.&#8221;\u00a0 Would I be raining on their parade?\u00a0 Or would I just be opening up\u00a0their eyes\u00a0to a new and better golfing\u00a0experience?\u00a0\u00a0Maybe we&#8217;ll just see what comes out of my mouth the next time they mention it to me&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Swing &#8217;til you&#8217;re happy!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my favorite things about playing golf is the variety of the courses.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not like other sports in that sense.\u00a0\u00a0A football field is always 100 yards long, a baseball field (though the outfield dimensions can vary somewhat) is basically the same no matter where you play and a basketball court is like football [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1999,1963],"tags":[1136,1176,22,19,2682,2683],"class_list":{"0":"post-4409","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-golf-life","7":"category-stinky-golfer-paradise","8":"tag-golf-deals","9":"tag-golf-specials","10":"tag-golf-stinks","11":"tag-golfstinks","12":"tag-groupon-2","13":"tag-groupon-com","14":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Are You Missing Out By Playing Bargain Golf? &#8226;
