trip with some golf? Gavea, and Are Waiting

One of man's last refuges, at Scotland's renowned St. Andrews, the clubhouse which no woman enters. Red China (three and a half miles away, across .... 17th hole). Founded in 1889, the club is reminiscent of much that was charming about 19th-century sport. Witness the two clubhouses (one for men and one for women), the antique dues of $5 a month, the cows grazing across the greens, and the pagoda for refreshments at the 10th tee. If you're touring Canada, detour long enough for a game in the Rockies, at Banff Springs. The views of glaciers, mountains, lakes, and forests greet you at each tee are magnificent. No golfer's trip to Rio de Janeiro would be complete without a visit to Gavea, set between the mountains and the sea, 10 miles from Copacabana Beach. Gavea, also the name of the mountain, means "crow's nest" and sports nine holes up and over the foothills, five holes along the ocean, and the last four back into the hills. To mention but a few of the loveliest courses in Europe—Saint-Cloud, a half hour from Paris, is a gentle park course set among large old trees with a wide-verandaed clubhouse that is the rendezvous of many of the fashionable international set. In Lisbon, you can play at Estoril most of the year, though the favorite months are from September to May, a real boon to the inveterate player. Estoril has grand views of gardens, villas, mountains, and the sea. In Belgium, the Royal Antwerp is still outstanding—and tough. Until recently Italians didn't go in much for the sport, but now you will find several links near Rome. The newest and most spectacular is Olgiata, 15 miles out, where the fairways sweep around close to Etruscan ruins. Up the coast, at St. Remo, you can play at Gli Ulivi, named after the impressive, classic olive trees that dot the course. As you see, there's no reason in the world why a man must miss his golf, just because his wife wants to take a trip abroad.
