"If I only had my clubs..."
I was thinking about this today as I was driving on an impromptu road trip down towards Lake Placid on the way through Malone.
What is the best "golf" trip you've ever been on where you couldn't bring your clubs because a) your weren't going to be there long enough, b) you were injured, c) your spouse said something like "if you even think of asking I'll never speak to you again..." (I've been tempted a few times to test the boundaries of this one ), or some other reason?
Most recently was a vacation to Punta Cana, D.R. (Punta Cana Golf Club, P.B. Dye. Casa de Campo - Teeth of the Dog, Pete Dye). We were meeting up with family down there and I was the only golfer, ergo "no time" (according to my wife)...When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

Went to SanDiego / Anaheim with the family unit for Xmas and didn't bring the clubs. It would have been nice to play Torrey Pines again and there are a TON of nice courses between SD and Anaheim.

WOW, I was going to post the same thing, San Diego 2 years ago in June, business trip. Only thing is I could not accept going to socal and not playing, so I hooked up with some of the Linspire executives for their Friday morning exercise event, and played at Torrey Pines, with a rented set of clubs. Was a blast, even without my own sticks.

Japan last year, co-worker & I were over on business and had discussed the possibility of getting a round in as we had the one weekend free in Osaka (even brought my golf shoes). Ottawa - Tokyo - Nagoya - Osaka - Ottawa in 6 days, brutal.
My co-worker's wife accompanied us so I can't complain that we didn't get out golfing, there was so much else to see and do, plus it was 35C with a humidex of probably 45. Really glad that she came along actually, it was a blast.
Took my golf shoes with me to the DR a couple of years ago and played Punta Cana. Looking forward to Teeth of the Dog if I get back there.

I don't understand why people even bother playing without their clubs. I couldnt do it. I mean, if you know you are playing, take your clubs with you. whats the big deal? doesn't cost anything to bring them with you

I would not bring my clubs unless I am driving, I have had the gorilla destroy 2 suit cases with Air Canada so far, not risking my clubs to those animals, even in a carry case, which would be another cost to travelling the clubs. It is like a car rental, just clubs instead, I mean they only golf clubs for crying out loud.

I see where you are coming from but its not just golf clubs, its your golf clubs. YOu feel comfortable with them and would most likely play better with them. The cost of rentals (twice) is more than the cost of a travel case. Other than that, it saves you money in the long run and most likely strokes as well

I can appreciate your point, and were it a golf holiday, I would have made the arrangements accordingly. This was a business trip, and hooking with the execs ensured it was all paid for anyway, hehehe.

In 2001, my wife and I went to Hawaii for a week and I left my clubs at home. Mostly because it was going to be soooo expensive to play, but also a little of LobWedge's answer "C". This was before I introduced her to golf, so she did not understand at them time but I have since converted her. The good part about the trip is that we just happened to be in Honolulu during the Sony Open, so I dragged her to watch the final round and she actually enjoyed it!
