It's a marvelous game but can certainly be maddening! The real downside is that it requires a lot of time... Your point about sites and landmarks is a good one, and is exactly what Doug is getting at in his article. Thanks for commenting! Berg,

I think Ray Romano started seeing Hank Haney just so he could consistently break 80! I've only been playing a year, and I'm really not that good, but golf does draw in the masochistic side of us, just for that one perfect shot every now and then... The European Landmarks piece was very entertaining. I often have to remind myself on trips to put down the camera and just absorb the environment; it's so easy to get caught up in documenting the place where you're standing that you forget to take a deep breath and enjoy it. We spend so much time trying to crop out tourists from our photos that we sometimes forget that they make up as much of the experience as the thing we are trying so desperately to photograph. I say, take one or two photos, then put down the camera and look around. :-) Wow, Kevin, you’re a very good golfer.
