From Hawaii to the Czech Republic, the best golf pictures of 2013
The year 2013 was once again a year to remember in my golf travels. I had two big firsts -- playing golf on the island of Maui and visiting the Czech Republic.
Maui, though a bit crowded and commercial, lived up to expectations. The Plantation Course at Kapalua (where the PGA Tour plays its Hyundai Tournament of Champions) has some of the best views of any golf course in the world. And golf in the Czech Republic has come a long way just in the last 10 years, and it's a legitimate golf destination, especially for Europeans.
In between, there was Dublin, Ireland, a trip across the eastern half of the United States, some Midwest golf courses and, of course, golf closer to home, where a the new Campus Course opened at Texas A&M University. Here, then, are a dozen of my favorite golf scenes from 2013.
