Heading out for Pittsburg and West Virginia and a great golf adventure.

Five days, five resorts, five rounds of great golf. I’ve got my golf party hat on!

Later today I’m stepping up in more ways than one. Flying out of Boston, but once I reach Pittsburg, and step up on the bus, it’s all business — and fun of course. I am going to be surrounded by some of Golf’s best travel writers. I’ve got to get myself in the right mind set. OOOOohhhhhhmmmmmmm. It’s going to be a lot of work, but I’m certain I will enjoy myself. Just traveling through the northern panhandle of West Virginia, will be exciting for a start.

So who’s on the golf media tour bus?

First night – we stay at Oglebay Resort in Wheeling. I got a note from them the other day letting me know my accommodations are already waiting for me: Premium King with Fireplace. I can get used to this.

We play the Palmer course at Oglebay’s Speidel Golf Club, first thing the next morning. The course ranges in distance from 6,800 yards from the championship tees, to 4,200 yards from the forward tees. Which is good news for me! My home course plays longer than that, so I should be ok as long as I stay out of the woods, sand and water.

Back at you later. Wish me luck.
