Everybody loves to pack the car and head out on a road trip to play golf. Most of us have taken a golf trip to the lake or maybe even down to Springfield, but if you want to go just a bit further let me recommend Patricia Island Golf resort in Grove OK.

Dan Polites Director of Golf invited the Back Nine out to Clinton Hills to review his course and on Sunday I did just that. Located about 20 minutes from the River, Clinton Hills is easily accessible in Swansea Il. Not being a member of a private Country Club I understand what 'regular' golfers seek when deciding where to play.

Now be honest what do you think when the group in front of you pulls out 'colored' golf balls on the 1st tee? Long day? 6 Hour round? The drink cart will need to just stay with you all day while you watch the hacks in front of you line up a put for 10? Let me tell you, Times Have Changed my friend!
