Looking forward to a big time course this year?

Aske's PB post got me wondering if any of you have big plans this year as regards top notch courses. I got to play PB last year and although the Bandon trip is on again I don't have any newbies in my sights. Probably go home summer of '09 and try to play Portmarnock in addition to Tulfarris and The European Club (both of which I've played before). Nothing really this year though. Just my local dog tracks.  * Not that you should feel too sorry for me. Our locals are pretty nice.  |

nope, i'd just be happy to get 5-6 rounds in locally. 2-3 is looking more likely.
oh well.

Bandon Trails. hint, hint  Nothing big for me this year either. I've been wanting to get over to Whistling Straits but it doesn't appear to be in the cards as of this posting. |

Depends upon a potential trip to the UK this spring, but that may not be long enough to get in any fun  Otherwise, nothing too big planned. My highlight was Torrey Pines South a few years back. |

Nope. I keep angling for Pinehurst, but I can't get an intersection of time, money, health and permission.

I'm hoping I'll be invited to play in the scramble again that let me play Oak Tree Men's Club. Don't think I'd want to play that Pete Dye monster with my own ball though. It was brutal enough in a 4 man scramble but well worth it.

No "name" courses for me, although I'm going to Arizona in March and Indianapolis in August. |
