Thursday, April 9, 2009 The New Economics of Golf What impact will the current economic environment have on dress code for golf courses? Will the golf community relax the dress code in order to attract more golfers in a tough economy? Don't be suprised by people playing golf in jeans this year.

The course was in great shape. Located near the nature coast about two hours north of Tampa. What impressed us about this course was its abundance of wildlife. There were all types of birds on the course. Several of the holes had swamp areas located near them which are the home to numerous alligators. All in all the experience was a lot of fun. It was a bit chilly in the morning, but by the time we made the turn it was perfect. Manatees frequent the area during the winter months. Looking for Nike golf skorts?

This course is managed by the Troon Golf company. My business associates and I played from the gold tees. The yardage from the gold tees was 6535. This was one of the longest golf courses I have ever played. The scenery was outstanding. What was more interesting was that while we were playing the Palmer Course the PGA Texas Open was being played at the Westin La Cantera Championship course below us. We could see each group move to the different holes. It was pretty cool. Unfortunately Tiger was not playing. The Palmer Course was a lot of fun to play. The green fees were $125 per golfer but well worth it. This was one of the more difficult courses that I have played. The rough is virtually impossible to get a clean hit out of. I used my Taylormade 21 degree rescue wood alot that day. This course really makes you use every club in your bag. The texas heat was a bit much after 18. I recommend this course to anyone visiting San Antonio. It is located about 30 minutes from downtown.

On September 29th I played in a 27 hole two man scramble with my friend Jamie. The tournament was held at Stone Creek Golf Course. The format was setup so that the first nine was a scramble format, the second nine was best ball format and the third nine was alternate shot. What made this tournament interesting was the 40 MPH wind. Every shot required the players to club down at least two clubs going into the wind. I could not believe how many of my shots went over the green with the wind behind us. Putting accurately was almost impossible as the wind would pull the ball off line. The tournament was a blast even with the wind. Stone Creek is a wonderful golf course. Blackstone is my personal favorite. Sandstone is the easiest and Greystone is the most challenging. The key to playing a 27 hole tournament is drinking plenty of fluids. Looking for Nike women's ladies golf shoes visit http://www.theredteebox.com/. Adidas climacool golf skort Posted by wclark68022 at 2:59 PM Labels: nebraska, omaha, stone creek golf course It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Monday September 24 Mandy and I played in yet another golf tournament. The venue for this tournament was Oak Hills Country Club in Omaha, Nebraska. Joining us for this tournament was my good friend Bill and my wife Peg. First, Oak Hills is a beautiful golf course. I consider it one of the best golf courses in Omaha. The tournament was being held as an awareness for the American Heart Association. Nancy Griebel died suddenly from a heart attack. Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States. The AHA recommends that women get their blood pressure checked regularly. The event was a ton of fun for all involved. Only disappointing part of the day was me going 0 for 18 on putts. The Red Tee Box is a women's golf apparel store featuring the finest golf products available.

I decided to get a tee time at one of my favorite golf courses, Quarry Oaks. Quarry Oaks is listed as number 72 on the Golf Digest's best 100 public golf courses in the United States. I love Quarry Oaks because you will find turkey, deer, canadian geese and squirrels wandering the course. When you play there you really feel connected to nature. This course plays very long. Some of the par four holes felt like they should be par fives. The greens are very challenging. My wife Peg and I played eighteen holes without seeing any other golfers on the course. It was really fun playing without having to worry about the groups behind us. There was no wind and sunny skies. It was perfect. The best part was spending quality time with my wife on a absolutely beautiful golf course. The Red Tee Box is a women's golf clothing store featuring the finest golf products available.
