A golf trip with your buddies anytime is a beautiful thing. But a summertime trip, well, that’s next level. The days are long and dependably warm, so you can play 36 holes — or even more if you’ve got the stamina. The golf season has been underway awhile, so you’ve had a chance to groove your swing a little. Or even if you haven’t, there’s still hope.
