Here’s a link to a Golf Digest article about the new rankings for Metro areas in the United States.
Based on their criteria , Alabama’s twin cities of Auburn and Opelika (a place more well known for college football than golf,) was selected as the top American metropolitan area for a golfer to live.
I’d say it had a lot to do with the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail than anything else. The courses there are fantastic.
Rounding out the top ten are:
No. 2. Johnson City-Kingsport-Bristol, TN-VA
I used to go to Tri-Cities Golf Club a few times every year with General Shale Brick Co.
This is a great area for golf, food and family.
No. 3. Punta Gorda, FL – I’ll agree with this one.
No. 4. Youngstown-Warren, OH – Who would have thunk it ?
No. 5. Bloomington-Normal, IL – I have no idea why.
No. 6. Iowa City – I lived in Webster City, Iowa for about 6 months. I have no desire to check this one out.
No. 7. Utica-Rome, NY – Hmmmm.
No. 8. Wilmington, NC – I’d go here in a North Carolina minute !
No. 9. Gadsden, AL – No thanks.
No. 10. Johnstown, PA. – not really my kind of area, but I’ll go if I’m invited. I might learn something.
Go read the entire article and come back and leave me a comment.
