Golfing in Belgium Becoming More Popular

For golfers who are familiar with the European golf community, it will come as no surprise that Belgium is the new hot spot for golfing vacations. Many avid golfers are planning trips to go golfing in Belgium during the warmer months of 2008.

If one has the time, it would be advisable to plan on hitting premier golf courses in other countries across the Atlantic, too. With so many countries with great golf courses in such close proximity to each other, it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to play as many of them as possible while overseas.

The Fresh Prince Golfing Brings My Two Favorite Things Together

Today I'd like to write a little about two of my favorite things combined into one post: The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Golfing.

I know that the two must seem wildly incongruous to most, but upon closer examination, there are several connections. First, we seen Will Smith, the Fresh Prince golfing on no less than two occasions during the course of the series. This may seem odd considering he is from "West Philadelphia, born and raised..." but not so much when we realize that he is transplanted to the upscale neighborhood of Bel Air in Los Angeles, where golfing is avidly pursued.

In one memorable episode, the Fresh Prince enters a golf tournament with Uncle Phil as his teammate because Carlton won't play for fear of losing. The results are both humorous and surprising.

In the other instance of the Fresh Prince golfing that I can recall, Will and his young cousin take their dates to a miniature golf course for a date that turns into a night of hysterical hijinks.

Sell Old Golfing Equipment for New Clubs

Are you tired of the same old boring golfing equipment that you are currently playing with? I am. So last week, I decided to have a garage sale and get rid of my old clubs and bag to make room for a new set.

Having a garage sale is not only a great way to make money for new golfing equipment, it is also helpful in getting rid of all the old stuff that is cluttering up your garage. Having a garage sale is easy, too. Simply put up poster board signs around you neighborhood directing traffic to your house, and watch the dollars roll in.

Golfing Pictures Help You to Remember Good Times on the Course

Sometimes, the best memories you have of times spent with your closest friends are of time spent on the golf course. Playing a round of golf with a close friend or family member gives you the opportunity to discuss what is going on in your life and to really have a conversation with the other person or people you are with.

All too often, memories of these relaxing times are lost simply because we are all very busy and have a tendency to forget our leisure time easily. A solution to this problem is to take golfing pictures on your next outing. Pictures of you and close friends on the course are a great addition to any desk or home office, and will help you remember the good times you had fondly.

Golfing Lessons Can Really Help Your Game Improve

Have you thought about signing up for golfing lessons but do not know what to expect? Well, this blog should help ease your concerns and give you a good idea of what to expect when you show up for your first golf lesson.

First, a club pro will usually assess your ability by asking orienting questions about how often you play, your handicap (if you know it) and how long you have been playing golf for. Next, he will probably have you demonstrate your form on a practice driving range, on the putting green, and with chip and pitch shots in order to see how well you do and offer suggestions from that starting point.

The Help of A Golfing Pro Can Improve Your Game

If you would like to improve your golf game, look no farther than your friendly local golfing pro. The pro at your local course or driving range is a valuable source insight and information and his or her advice can really help you improve your golf game.

Seek information on scheduling a lesson with the local pro that you feel the comfortable with. He or she will help you work on your swing, your proficiency at putting, your ability to read greens, and with your chip shots work from sand traps (Lord knows that we amateur golfers spend way too much of our time in the sand!) If you are concerned about improving your handicap, enlisting the help of a golfing pro is a great idea.

Try 27 Hole Golfing

Have you ever played 18 holes on your preferred golf course and after playing found that 18 holes just wasn't enough? Were you hungry for more golf? 27 hole golfing just might be the thing for you. You need only to find a country club or county course with 36 holes and plan on spending your day playing a full round of 18 holes and the front or back nine of the second course. Of course, you could re-play 9 holes of an 18 hole course, but what's the fun in that?

Real 27 hole golf is an exercise in endurance, concentration, and consistency. It will test your abilities as a golfer and give you more time on the course to sharpen your game. The more holes you play, the more strokes you will shave off your future scores.

A Brief History of the Golfing Union of Ireland

The Golfing Union of Ireland was formed in October of 1891 with 28 greens designated as golfing courses throughout Ireland. The GUI even precedes the United States Golf Association (USGA) by 3 years.

The Golfing Union of Ireland was formed in order to ensure that Irish golf is held to a high standard of excellence, and so that Irish players can compete with the world's best in international competitions. The Golfing Union of Ireland oversees a Coaching Management Committee which sets up regular training and coaching sessions for boys, youths and seniors. With the help of the GUI, Ireland has become one of the premier countries exporting world class golf players today.

Golfing Retreats Great for Your Company

One of my favorite things in the world is going on golfing retreats with my close friends to exotic and no so exotic destinations. One thing that I have learned through observation on my trips is that golfing retreats are a great resource for corporations and business groups for team building exercises.

Golfing trips help cement the bonds between co workers and even help to create new bonds of affection that had not previously existed. If you are an avid golfer and are seeking a location for your next corporate event, consider setting up a golf retreat for your employees.

Golfing in Oregon Often Overlooked

Of the many places that golfers think of when they are deciding their next golfing destination, one of the most overlooked places is Oregon. Oregon has breathtaking scenery, epitomizing the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Another thing to consider about Oregon is its people. Oregon is renowned for the friendliness and amiability of its residents. It is hard to have a bad time in Oregon. Golfing in Oregon is just as great as the scenery and people of the state. If you are bored with all the same destinations over and over again, consider a trip to Oregon for your next golfing vacation.
