Gifford Arboretum, Deerfield Beach Arboretum, Palm and Cycad Arboretum, Palma Sola Botanical Park. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Arboretum at the University of Central FloridaThe Arboretum of the University of Central Florida is located on the main campus of the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida, USA. Covering 80 acres .32 km), it contains more than 600 species of plants, including more than 100 bromeliads, in cultivated gardens. Due to the hurricanes of 2005, the Arboretum is receiving a major restructuring that will lead to new collections arranged by geographical area. The new design also entails picnic tables, running trails, and a disc golf course. Established by President Trevor Colbourn in 1983, The Arboretum began with approximately 12 acres (49,000 m) of a disturbed pond pine community on the east side of the developed part of campus, east of the present biology building. In 1988, at President Altmans direction, the University expanded the Arboretum to include a 5-acre (20,000 m) Cypress dome, an oak hammock of about 3 acres (12,000 m), and about 15 acres (61,000 m) of sand pine and Florida scrub, connected to the original Arboretum by Sabal palmetto community and increasingly rare Florida longleaf pine flatwoods. During this time the director of the Arboretum was Dr. Henry O. Whittier. He would remain director of the Arboretum until his retirement 2003, when Dr. Whittier was replaced as director by Dr. Martin Quigley. In 2004, Hurricane Charley decimated the pond pine community on the original 12 acres (49,000 m) destroying most of the canopy. This area is currently being restored to its original state by the UCF Environmental… More: |

Asian Tour: 2009 Asian Tour, 2008 Asian Tour, 2007 Asian Tour, 2006 Asian Tour $9.05 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Asian Tour is the principal men’s professional golf tour in Asia except for Japan, which has its own Japan Golf Tour, which is also a full member of the International Federation of PGA Tours. The Asian Tour is administered from offices in Singapore. It is controlled by a board with a majority of professional golfers, and a Tournament Players Committee of its player members, supported by an executive team. The Executive Chairman of the Board is the Burmese professional golfer Kyi Hla Han. The first season in the current lineage was played in 1995, although there had been earlier attempts to create an Asian Tour. The Asian PGA was formed in July 1994 at a meeting in Hong Kong attended by PGA representatives from eight countries. In 1998 the Asian Tour became the sixth member of the International Federation of PGA Tours. In 2002, the tour moved its office from Hong Kong to Malaysia and in 2004 the tour was taken over by a new organisation established by the players, who had been in dispute with the previous management. In 2007 it moved to new headquarters on the resort island of Sentosa in Singapore, which is also the home of the tour’s richest sole sanctioned tournament, the Singapore Open. Official money events on the tour count for World Golf Ranking points. Most of the leading players on the tour are Asian, but players from other parts of the world also participate (as of 2007 the country with most representatives profiled on the tour’s official site is Australia). Each year the Asian Tour co-sanctions a number of events with the PGA European Tour, in countries such as China, Malaysia and Indonesia, with these events offering higher prize funds than most of the other tournaments on the tour as a result. From 2008, 50 per cent of players… More: |

Augusta and Aiken in Golf’s Golden Age (Images of Sports Series) $6.49 The game of golf got its start in the Southeastern United States in 1892 on four holes with sand greens at Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken, South Carolina. Within five years, Palmetto had expanded to eighteen holes and the first nine-hole course in neighboring Augusta, Georgia was designed at the Hotel Bon Air. For half a century, the Augusta-Aiken area flourished as the winter destination of choice for the rich, famous, and powerful in America. Presidents Taft, Harding, and Eisenhower vacationed here. Baseball great Ty Cobb bought a home in Augusta’s quaint Summerville neighborhood. It was here that Bobby Jones began the improbable journey towards a Grand Slam, then built his dream golf course. By the turn of the century, winter tourism and grand resort hotels in the Augusta-Aiken area were well established. A favorable winter climate and easy rail access drew vacationers to Highland Park Hotel (1866), Willcox Hotel (1898), and Park in the Pines (1900) in Aiken; Hotel Bon Air (1890) and Partridge Inn (1913) in Augusta; and Hampton Terrace Hotel and Golf Club (1903) in North Augusta. Resorts in Florida and the growth of the air travel industry later coupled to mark the area’s decline in winter tourism, but not before Augusta-Aiken’s place in golf history was secure. In this unique volume, vintage images and accompanying text recall the unfo rgettable legends, the meticulously maintained courses, and all of the grandeur associated with the game. |

Ben Hogan: An American Life $1.99 BEN HOGAN: AN AMERICAN LIFE is the biography golfers and golf fans have been waiting for. Like Richard Ben Cramer’s Joe DiMaggio and David Maraniss’s When Pride Still Mattered, this meticulously researched book goes behind the myths and provides the complete, unvarnished, and often surprising story of one of the greatest sportsmen of all time.Ben Hogan established many of golf’s most memorable milestones. In 1953, he entered eight tournaments and won five—including the Masters, the U.S. Open, and the British Open—the Hogan Grand Slam. His performance marked the beginning of the era of modern golf, triggering the Tour’s explosive growth and popularity. The most astonishing thing about that record-setting year is that Hogan was plagued by the devastating physical effects of an automobile crash that nearly killed him in early 1949. As James Dodson reveals, Hogan’s stunning comeback at Merion in 1950 was simply one of many extraordinary events in a legendary career filled with ups and downs and a life lived within such impenetrable privacy that no contemporary golfer, tournament organizer, or sports reporter could claim to really know the most prominent and talked about player of the era. Dodson, who had unprecedented access to Hogan’s family and friends, tells the full, inside story of Hogan’s remarkable life for the first time. He uncovers the emotional strains Hogan experienced, including his intense desire for personal privacy, the carefully guarded secrets of his marriage, and ultimately, his unchanging love for and loyalty to his wife. Filled with fascinating details and deeply poignant insights, this book brings to life golf’smost mythical and misunderstood figure—and a nostalgic American era—as never before. Dodson’s award-winning lyrical style, and persistence in getting to the heart of Hogan’s protected inner life, ensure that BEN HOGAN: AN AMERICAN LIFE will become a classic. |

Development of microbial community structure in turfgrass rootzone mixtures varying by amendment, age, presence of plants, and environment. $49.99 The stability of turfgrass golf green rootzone mixtures depends on the development of a stable microbial community structure. Factors affecting microbial community development are age of the turfgrass, the location of golf greens, and the amendments added. The objective of this study was to evaluate methods for assessment of turfgrass rootzone microbial community structure and function and to apply them to field situations. Methods were identified to evaluate the microbial community in these rootzone mixtures. Metabolic diversity (BIOLOG), dehydrogenase activity, bacterial plate counts, and phospholipid fatty acid analysis were performed on turfgrass green rootzone mixture samples collected from a bench top study, established golf courses, a greenhouse study, and replicated field plots.;The utility of each of the measures of microbial communities in evaluating turfgreen stability varied between the levels of complexitiy of the study (i.e. laboratory vs. greenhouse vs. field situation). In the bench top study, BIOLOG, dehydrogenase activity, and bacterial plate counts revealed differences in the microbial community as affected by the base material of the rootzone (sand, soil) and rate of peat moss amendment. In sampling of established golf courses, BIOLOG showed differences in the microbial community, based on age of the rootzone; it was not clear if these differences were due to age or other factors such as management. In a greenhouse study, BIOLOG showed differences in the microbial community, in rootzones varying by amendement and presence of turfgrass. Fatty acid data indicated some grouping based on amendment. Dehydrogenase and bacterial plate counts did not correlate to amendment or presence of turfgrass. Dehydrogenase did show correlation with bacterial signature fatty acids detected. A final study evaluated replicate field plots varying by amendment and microclimates. BIOLOG showed grouping based on microclimate and amendment. Fatty acid data did not vary |

Dehydrogenase and bacterial plate counts did not correlate to amendment or presence of turfgrass. Dehydrogenase did show correlation with bacterial signature fatty acids detected. A final study evaluated replicate field plots varying by amendment and microclimates. BIOLOG showed grouping based on microclimate and amendment. Fatty acid data did not vary |

Duel in the Sun: Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus in the Battle of Turn $16.99 In the rest of the world, they call it the Open Championship. Americans call it the British Open, but if any tournament is considered the battle for the world championship of golf, it is the one held annually on the great links courses of Scotland and England, the birthplace of the game. By the time the 1977 Open came to Turnberry on Scotland’s west coast, Jack Nicklaus had established himself as the greatest champion the golf world has ever known, well on his way to the record that Tiger Woods would spend his childhood dreaming of and pointing toward. The sight of Nicklaus on the leaderboard was enough to make strong golfers shake. Everyone knew that Nicklaus was the man to beat in every major championship he entered. At the same time, Tom Watson had become the latest golfer to be heralded as the “Next Nicklaus.” Watson had overcome his reputation for choking in big tournaments and was beginning to be viewed by his peers as the top player of his generation. He had won two majors, but there were still questions about his ability to stand up under the fiercest pressure. There are few moments in sports when it is clear to one and all that a torch has been passed. The 1977 Open Championship at Turnberry was one such event. The weather was uncharacteristically warm, British golf fans bared their pink skin to the unfamiliar sun, and the course played hard and fast. Nicklaus and Watson were tied after the first two rounds. Nicklaus shot a blistering 65-66 over the last two days to post a 72-hole score that set a tournament record; but Watson, paired with Nicklaus over those fateful 36 holes, looked Jack in the eye and shot 65-65 to win by a stroke. And the Next Nicklaus had been found at last, even as the original kept winning major tournaments — but the air of invincibility was gone forever. Michael Corcoran takes the drama of this rare moment in golf history and brings it to vivid life. He draws on his interviews with competitors, caddies, |

Chapters: Companies Based in Yukon, Mines in Yukon, Faro, Yukon, Pacific Northwest Economic Region, Terranw, Yukon Electrical Company, Yukon Liquor Corporation, Sixty Mile. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Faro is a small town in the central Yukon, Canada, formerly the home of the largest open pit leadzinc mine in the world as well as a significant producer of silver and other natural resource ventures. The mine was built by the Ralph M. Parsons Construction Company of the USA with General Enterprises Ltd. of Whitehorse being the main subcontractor. Currently (June 2007) the population is 400, considerably lower than its peak of over 2,100 in February 1982. Faro was named after the card game. Though these industries have declined over the past decade, Faro is attempting to attract eco-tourists to the region to view such animals as Dall’s Sheep and Stone’s Sheepa species of mountain sheep almost unique to the surrounding area. Several viewing platforms have been constructed in and around the town. One unique feature of Faro is that it has a golf course running through the main part of town. Residents are also treated to frequent sightings of wildlife. Lorne Greene, famous for his work in Bonanza, once narrated a film about Faro called A New World In the Yukon. The area was prospected in the 1950s and 1960s by Al Kulan, credited with discovering several significant deposits of lead and zinc ore and playing a major role in the discovery of the Faro Mine, which became Canada’s largest lead-zinc mine. The Cyprus Anvil Mining Corporation established the first operations to mine the deposits, and established the town of Faro. A new highway was built between Carmacks and Ross River to serve the Faro area – initially numbered Highway 9, it is today part of the Robert… More: |

Epidemiology and etiology of zoysiagrass diseases in Northwest Arkansas. $49.99 Large patch is caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-2 LP. The disease occurs during spring, late summer, and early fall on warm season turfgrasses in the transition zone and is quite destructive to zoysiagrass in Northwest Arkansas. Symptoms include irregular patches up to several meters in diameter and distinct lesions on the leaf sheaths and stems. Management of large patch with fungicides is expensive and complete control is almost never achieved. This has led others to suggest that other microorganisms are associated with the disease. The objectives of this study were to determine if patches occurred season after season in the same location and if other microorganisms contributed to the severity of large patch disease. To accomplish the first objective, test plots were established on fairways at two golf courses where disease was active. Each plot was 7 x 14-m and patch locations were recorded on a 10cm grid. Data were recorded in spring 2007, spring and fall 2008, and spring 2009. The number of diseased points increased with each sequential recording and many occurred at or contiguous to diseased points from the previous season. To accomplish the second objective, isolates were collected in spring 2007 from leaf sheaths and in spring 2008 from leaf sheaths, stems and rhizomes of zoysiagrass with active large patch disease. Isolates were grouped by morphological characteristics, and isolates from each group were tested for pathogenicity on zoysiagrass cultivars ‘Meyer’ and ‘Cavalier’. Seven groups (Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2 (LP), Gaeumannomyces graminis var. graminis, three Fusarium spp. , one Pythium sp. and an unidentified sterile white basidiomycete) were pathogenic and were re-tested alone and in combination with R. solani AG2-2 (LP) on both cultivars. No combination of any isolate and R. solani significantly increased disease over R. solani alone but G. graminis var. graminis and R. solani AG2-2 (LP) caused significant disease alone and were not |

Evaluation of vitazyme as a fertilizer supplement in establishing and maintaining Bermudagrasses. $49.99 Vitazyme has been demonstrated to increase yield in row crops; however, effects of Vitazyme in turfgrass have not been documented. Vitazyme was applied at 13 fl oz/A and 26 fl oz/A with and without complete fertilizer to seeded Princess 77 bermudagrass, established TifSport bermudagrass, established Princess 77 bermudagrass at the Tarleton State University Turfgrass Field Laboratory (TFL), and established common bermudagrass at a local golf course. In the seeded trial, Vitazyme in combination with fertilizer increased quality, percent cover, and density compared to the nontreated. Differences were noted between fertilized and non-fertilized treatments for quality in TifSport and established Princess 77 bermudagrass trials. Significant differences among most treatments were determined using a Field Scout 1000 Chlorophyll Meter. |

Golf Clubs and Courses in Shropshire: Hawkstone Park, Meole Brace Municipal Golf Course, Llanymynech Golf Club, Ludlow Racecourse, Worfield $9.05 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Hawkstone Park, Meole Brace Municipal Golf Course, Llanymynech Golf Club, Ludlow Racecourse, Worfield, Church Stretton Golf Club. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Hawkstone Park is an hotel set in historic parkland near to Market Drayton, in Shropshire, England, UK, one mile (1.6 km) east of the A49 road. Today the park consists of 100 acres (40 hectares) of follies and landscaped parkland grounds and rocky outcrops, based around the authentic Norman castle of Red Castle. The Hawkstone house was established by Richard Hill of Hawkstone (1655-1727), also known as ‘The Great Hill’, circa 1707, whilst the follies, estate and reputation were mainly established by his nephew and heir Sir Rowland Hill, 1st Baronet Hill of Hawkstone (1705-1783) and Sir Richard Hill, 2nd Baronet (1733-1808) in the 18th century. The park then fell foul of a century of neglect and decay until an ongoing programme of restoration was started in 1990, enabling it to be re-opened in 1993. It is now scheduled as Grade-1 listed on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. It takes a 2.5 hour hiking tour to completely see each folly and their landscapes (a reasonable level of physical fitness and mobility is required and there are many steps, ascents and descents). At some times of the year, not all site trails are accessible. Attractions include a red brick tower, once lime washed and still called the White Tower, the Monument standing over 100ft high commemorating Sir Rowland Hill who was the first Protestant Mayor of London, the Cleft which is spanned by the Swiss Bridge, the Grotto which may have originated as a 5th century copper mine and the Arch atop of Grotto Hill, plus various caves, tunnels through the rock, walkways, viewpoints and trails winding through Rhod… More: |

It is supported by a consortium of 26 golf organizations from all over the world. The Hall of Fame Museum Building is designed by the museum architecture specialist firm of E. Verner Johnson and Associates of Boston, Massachusetts.

The World Golf Hall of Fame was originally located in Pinehurst, North Carolina, and was privately operated by Diamondhead Corp., then owners of the Pinehurst Resort. It opened in September 1974 with an initial class of 13 members. To start with it was a local project, but the PGA of America took over management in 1983 and acquired full ownership in 1986. Two other halls of fame have been merged into the World Golf Hall of Fame. The PGA of America established one in 1940, which was merged into the Pinehurst Hall in the 1980s.

Chapters: Frederick Gustavus Burnaby, Elizabeth Hawkins-Whitshed, Greystones Rfc, Éire Óg Greystones Gaa, Greystones Railway Station, Greystones F.c.. Excerpt: Greystones – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Greystones is located south of the site of an ancient castle of the Barony of Rathdown. There was a hamlet which, like the castle, was known as Rathdown, and which appeared on a 1712 map. This site occupied an area now known as the Grove, north of Greystones harbour, but only the ruins of a chapel, St. Crispin’s Cell, survive. Greystones is a much more recent settlement and is first mentioned in Topographia Hibernica, a 1795 publication. Here it is described as a “noted fishing place four miles beyond Bray.” Greystones, viewed from the NorthIn the early 1800s, there were some families scattered around the harbour, Blacklion, Windgates, Killincarrig and Rathdown. Delgany was a more substantial and longer established village. However, Greystones was put on the map with the coming of the railway in 1855, a difficult undertaking which was performed in consultation with Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the famous engineer. The train station was built on the line dividing the properties of two landowners; the La Touche family of Bellevue House (now in ruins, near Delgany), and the Hawkins-Whitshed family of Killincarrig House (which is now Greystones Golf Club). It provided links with Bray and Dublin, and left room for development on the adjoining estates. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, under the ownership of William Robert La Touche, Greystones’ development gathered momentum. To the north of the station, Church Road, Victoria Road, and Trafalgar Road were laid out and many houses were built in the years following the arrival of the railway. Follow… More: |

High School Sports In California $8.96 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: California Interscholastic Federation, Camarillo Classic, Mission Valley Athletic League, Sac-Joaquin Section, North Coast Section. Excerpt: The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) is the governing body for high school sports in the state of California. It mirrors similar governing bodies in other states; however, it differs from others in that it covers most high schools in the state of California, both public and private. Few exceptions exist; five California high schools compete in the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association instead, due to their proximity to Nevada and the difficulty they face in traveling to other California schools. CIF is a non-profit corporation. It is based in Alameda, California. The CIF was founded in Los Angeles, California in 1914 by a group of area school principals. It was founded in order to standardize rules and team structures between schools; it was also intended to prevent abuses such as “school shopping” by athletes and teams fielding players over high school age. Other school principals voluntarily entered into the program, and by 1917, the organization was established statewide. In 2005, CIF required that all student athletes sign a promise to not take any steroids or they face expulsion. CIF holds sectional championship events in the sports of American football, basketball, cross country (traditionally hosted at Woodward Park in Fresno), golf, track and field, girls volleyball, water polo, and wrestling. In addition, swimming times and diving scores are compared based on final results at section meets and ranked statewide to determine a state champion. However, there is no state championship meet. Cross country, track and field, basketball, volleyball and wrestling hold state-wide champi… More: |

Hoke County, North Carolina (Images of America Series) $14.81 Hoke County is located in the Sandhills region of North Carolina between the beaches and mountains. In the beginning, the countryside was covered with magnificent pine forest. Most of the early settlers were Highland Scots who started many of the region’s churches. As communities grew, families were concerned about the education of their children. The first high school, Raeford Institute, was established in 1891. The village of Raeford, now the county seat, was chartered in 1901. J. W. McLauchlin, known as the father of Hoke County, was a state senator from Cumberland County. He introduced a bill in 1911 to form Hoke County from parts of Cumberland and Robeson Counties. Today the county has two golf courses, a wind tunnel, an ethanol plant, the Carolina Horse Park, Burlington Industries, and Unilever. The Fort Bragg Military Reservation covers a large part of the county, increasing the military population. Hoke is one of the top five fastest growing counties in North Carolina due to Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). |

Moore County, North Carolina (Images Of America Series) $19.99 With Moore County, author Richard Schloegl has created an enticing look back at the past of a region rich in local lore and tradition. Readers journey back to a fascinating time when the introduction of the railroad spurred great developments throughout the towns and virgin pine forests of Moore County. The coming of the Raleigh and Augusta Railroad in 1877 dramatically changed the face of virtually every community in the region. Small towns sprang up along its route to serve as shipping points for the expanding lumber and turpentine industries–trades that would energize and sustain the region for over two decades. When the forest resources began to show signs of exhaustion, the resort industry took hold. The timbered-over land was inexpensive and the communities of Jackson Springs, Southern Pines, Pinebluff, and Pinehurst quickly developed. These areas became health resorts, known for the medicinal qualities of their mineral water, fresh air, and gentle climate. The introduction of golf in 1897 changed the face of the region once again. Pinehurst was soon established as a golfing mecca of international renown, where names like Donald Ross, Glenna Collett, Francis Ouimet, and Harry Varden were forever etched into golf legend. |

He scored his first professional win in his home country in 1983 and has continued to play in South Africa in the northern winter, but like other leading South African golfers he has spent far more time playing internationally. In line with many other Commonwealth golfers his first move abroad was to the European Tour and he played that tour from 1982 to 1984. From 1985 he was primarily on the U.S.-based PGA Tour, where he went on to win ten tournaments, the most prestigious of which was the 1989 NEC World Series of Golf which he won by defeating Ben Crenshaw at the second playoff hole. He made the top ten on the PGA Tour money list twice, placing 9th in 1988 and 5th in 1993 and was ranked in the top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings for 86 weeks between 1988 and 1994.

Pdflink Without a Parameter: Chandler, Arizona $10.37 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Chandler, Arizona – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1891, Dr. Alexander John Chandler, the first veterinary surgeon in Arizona Territory, settled on a ranch south of Mesa, studying irrigation engineering. By 1900, he had acquired 18,000 acres (73 km²) of land, and began drawing up plans for a townsite on what was then known as the Chandler Ranch. The townsite office opened on May 17, 1912, the same year that Chandler High School was established. By 1913, a town center had become established, featuring the luxurious Hotel San Marcos, the first golf resort in the state. Most of Chandler’s economy was successfully sustained during the Great Depression (a second San Marcos hotel was canceled due to the Depression however), but the cotton crash a few years later had a much deeper impact on the city’s residents. Later, the founding of Williams Air Force Base in 1941 led to a small surge in population, but Chandler still only held 3,800 people by 1950. By 1980, it had grown to 30,000, and it has since paced the Phoenix metropolitan area’s high rate of growth, with vast suburban residential areas swallowing former agricultural plots. Some of this growth was fueled by the establishment of manufacturing plants for communications and computing firms such as Microchip, Motorola and Intel, but despite the inclusion of many large businesses, Chandler is often considered a bedroom community for the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. While the suburbs boomed, the downtown area of Chandler became more impoverished, and complaints over crime in the downtown area led in 1997 to the ill-fated Chandler Roundup, a joint operation between local police and federal immigration authorities in which 432 illegal immigrants were arrested and deported. However, the ra… More: |

Protect and Avenge: The 49th Fighter Group in World War II $49.95 With the 50th Anniversary of Victory in World War II comes PROTECT & AVENGE: The 49th Fighter Group in World War II. After six years of research, author and illustrator S.W. Ferguson, Along with 49ERS Association historian William K.

Excerpt: Founded: 2005 The A-League Pre-Season Challenge Cup competition was an annual tournament held for all Hyundai A-League clubs in July and August in the lead up to the start of the A-League season. The competition featured a group stage and a knockout stage. Commentators did not give much weight to the competition as a guide for performance during the season proper, as injuries or club strategic policy ruled that many teams did not use their best players and often used experimental tactics. The Pre-Season Cup was removed from 2009-10’s A-League schedule in order to give the clubs more control over their own pre-season training.

Chapters: Senior Major Golf Championships, United States Senior Men’s Amateur Golf Championship, Ubs Cup, United States Senior Women’s Amateur Golf Championship, Argentine Senior Pga Championship, Argentine Senior Open. Excerpt: Men’s professional senior golf is for players aged 50 and above. Golf differs from all other sports in having lucrative competitions for this age group. The leading senior tour is the U.S. based Champions Tour, which was established in 1980 (as the Senior Tour). It has established a roster of five major championships. These events are all played over four rounds, whereas other senior tournaments are generally played over three rounds. A golfer’s performances can be quite variable from one round to the next, so playing an extra round increases the likelihood that the senior majors will be won by leading players. In the current order of play, the senior majors are: The order of play has changed many times during the history of senior golf. For example: Unlike the mainstream majors, some of the senior majors have title sponsors. The Senior PGA is by far the oldest of the senior majors, having commenced in the 1930s. The other four tournaments all date from 1980 or later, having been founded in the era when senior golf became a commercial success. This occurred when the first big golf stars of the television era, men such as Arnold Palmer and Gary Player, began to reach the relevant age. Unlike mainstream men’s golf, the senior game does not have a globally agreed set of majors. The three majors recognised by the European Seniors Tour are the Senior PGA Championship and the U.S. and British Senior Opens. However, the Champions Tour is much more dominant in global senior golf than the PGA Tour is in mainstream men’s golf. The tabl… More: |

Captain James Brander of Pitgaveny, also a founding member, leased the land to the club and Old Tom Morris the St Andrews professional designed the layout. Initially, there were only 16 holes but within a year the course was extended to 18 by leasing land from Sir William Gordon Cumming.

Temple Terrace, Florida (Images of America Series) $14.49 The influential and adventurous Chicago socialite Mrs. Potter Palmer (Bertha) struck out for Florida in 1910, eventually buying thousands of acres of land across the state. In 1914, after setting up residence in Sarasota, she established Riverhills, a hunting preserve on 19,000 acres in the area now known as Temple Terrace. Local historians believe it was Palmer’s vision to create one of America’s first planned golf course communities, where every Mediterranean Revival villa sold would include its own grove. Intended to provide a hobby and part-time income for the wealthy Northerners lured to the Sunshine State, 5,000 acres were planted with the exotic hybrid Temple orange–making up the largest citrus grove in the world at the time. The new city was named after the orange and for the sloping terrain of the land along the Hillsborough River. |

Why Men Hide Behind Trees $12.28 Today’s black man has had his God-ordained manhood redefined by the masses of secular society. Hollywood movies and Hip Hop artists have taken manhood from a passionate love story about a strong male who loves his wife and children to a horror flick about thugs, ho’s and children born to a world of bling bling. We find ourselves spending more money on self image, golf courses, sporting events and alcohol, and then we give to our local Church. God came at the cool of the day to spend time with Adam in the garden. God did not see Adam when He approached the garden. God acknowledges the attitude, obedience, truthfulness, and Holy reverence. Some of the men in our churches may give the appearance of emptiness and void in their life. Adam and Eve were tied down in the misery of sin. Their sin had them taken out of the garden of paradise. Before God did so God in His mercy clothed Adam and established the hope of his redemption to return to paradise through the shedding of blood of Jesus Christ. |
