Fairways The 19th Hole: October 2026
This month's destination: the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, and when to pick Dye's Valley instead. This month's math: why your card's rental-car coverage stops at the golf cart.
Two pieces from this month pair naturally: one about the course, one about the cart you'll drive around it.
The destination: TPC Sawgrass
This month's TPC Sawgrass piece covers the actual booking mechanics for the Stadium Course, home of The Players Championship: the 14-day window for outside play, the price gap against Dye's Valley, and why the 17th hole ended up an island.
The points math: the coverage gap nobody checks
This month's card-coverage piece walks through why a card's "free" rental-car insurance doesn't follow you onto the cart you rent at the course, quoting the exact exclusion language from three major issuers. Worth reading before you assume the same card that covers your airport rental also covers the round.
