Golfing Communities being sold for Gas

Recently there has been news about homeowners that bought within golf communities outlying city limits because they were peaceful and environmentally attractive. However since they still work for a living they usually commute an average of 26-miles nationally. This wasn't a problem when gas was only a little over $2 a gallon but because it has risen to over $4 a gallon some city workers are selling and leaving the lush golf course dream behind. Some think this is a sad story, but for those with disposable income in retirement it is a great time to buy some extra golf property.

A Golfing Statue Realization

I was recently relaxing in a garden and realized there was a small golfing statue amongst some of the foliage. I thought it was interesting and began to think how few similar statues exist. How many sport figures have you seen idolized in bronze and iron? Most of the ones I was able to think up surrounded the sport of baseball and of course maybe one of Michael Jordan (as a basketball star). In the U.S. you don't find that many statues of golfers. If you travel to Ireland or Scotland you'll find beautiful bronze figures representing golf but the next best thing here stands as tall as a gnome.

Terrace Downs has been noted as one of the most spectacular looking golf courses and locations to take a vacation. Of course New Zealand all around carries a huge reputation for spectacular views.

Taking a Golfing Holiday Apulia Style

Apulia is an area in southern Italy; using the boot analogy, Apulia is the heel region made up of about six provinces. The population has been steady around 4 million people for some time and most of them are farmers or fishermen. Depending on where you stay in the area you may only have one golf course near you. However, you can always travel the coast while playing at the different courses. Italy is not for the cheap as accommodations can cost you easily into the thousand of Euros. So try to stay with a management company that can give you deals on green fees.

Who was the First Golfing President?

Wanting to know everything about golf and history, I've had a few ask me 'who was the first golfing president?' The answer: William Howard Taft. He was our 27th President of the United States of America taking office in 1909. He was also the first to throw out an opening pitch at a baseball game even though he has been the biggest president since; about 300 pounds. Gerald Ford always practiced his chips on the south yard of The White House but was made fun of a lot by Bob Hope. One of the best golfers since was John F. Kennedy although he wanted his hobby to be private so the public wouldn't think he was putting his way through office.
