Reckless Abandon
I read an article in Golf Digest a few years ago concerning gold trips to Scotland. The author had experienced many trips to the the land of haggis and heather. He told the story of his favorite trip.
He went without a plan. Well actually he had a plan, not an itinerary. He remembered seeing a course on his way to the Highlands along the A9 highway. His plan was to go and play that course and talk to the members afterwards in the grill room. There he explained what direction he was headed the next day and ask them if there was a course they would recommend. This he did this day after day and played only those country courses recommended by the locals. He didn't play a single course that anyone in the US had ever heard of, yet he claimed it was the best trip to Scotland he ever had.
I believe him.
