Travel Notes

Golf Digest, August, 2001

Marital bliss: The Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Miami recently conducted a poll of 183 golfers (87 percent were men) at the resort. Of that group, 63 percent said they don't play golf with their spouse, and the average they spend on a round is $108. (No word on how much their marriage counseling costs.) You can stay at Doral and play unlimited golf until Sept. 16 for $125-$130 (replay cart fee is additional). Phone 877-893-6725.

Kids play free: More than a dozen of Hyatt's top resorts are allowing kids ages 8-17 to play golf for free when playing with an adult. The promotion runs until Aug. 31. Phone 800-233-1234 or go to www.golfhyatt.com.
