Four Seasons Aviara Golf Course - Carlsbad, CA

Unless you are receiving a paid vacation or having your tab picked up, this facility is the most expensive and unfriendly venue in San Diego. The green fees for this marginal golf course are in excess of $175.00 - outrageous!

Coronado Municipal for $20 and even Torrey Pines North for $80 are far superior, the service is friendlier and the course conditions are terrific. For accommodations try the Torrey Pines Hilton - a great location with great service and guaranteed tee times at Torrey Pines South.

South African Airways

It is unfortunate that South African Airways has degenerated into a third rate airline in the past 7 years. The service is abominable, the staffing incompetent to say the least, the seats in Business Class and First Class are slightly better than the standard Southwest Airline's seat. The airline is run by idiots, Andres Viljoen, the CEO, being the main one and other idiots such as Hendry L. Shaiand Paully Maseti, all who have absolutely no idea what they are doing and do not care. Their frequent flier program, Voyager, is the single biggest rip-off in the airline industry and consistent and continuous complaints about both this program and their attitudes. If the company was based in the States, RICO law suits would not be uncommon. On the other hand, if you really would like to visit South Africa, go through Europe, London and British Airways will make your trip worthwhile.
