With the Delaware River in its southeastern corner, Lake Erie at its northwest border, and the Appalachian, Allegheny, and Pocono Mountains in between, Pennsylvania's diverse topography lends itself well to the creation of many kinds of fields of dreams for golfers.

    You'll find Buddhas aplenty. Birdies? Not so much. When you brave the throngs at Bangkok's Chatuchak Market to browse the handiwork of local artisans or sample spicy Thai street food, don't bypass the stalls selling umbrellas and parasols.

Such fathers distinguish themselves by talking about golf a lot, never missing a major on TV, and having at least 15 putters stashed in a garage or basement. Yours may even have introduced you to golf, for better or worse.

A warning to anyone considering using #Expedia from someone who travels a lot: beware. When they make an error, they won’t own up to it. They’d rather lose a longtime customer than refund the $100 they owe you. Avoid Expedia. Book direct.
