Golf Real Estate: for the Love of the Game

Written by EditorsChoice

Tuesday, 25 September 2007

Since 1456, when the first game was recorded in Edinburgh, golf has been creating some of world's most loyal fans and devotees. But we've come a long way from that crude beginning where players spent their time hitting a rock around on the craggy moors with a well-shaped stick. The Journal of Sports Sciences reports that there are now 30,000 golf courses and 55 million people who play golf worldwide. Over the centuries, players traded in the well-shaped sticks for drivers, irons, wedges, hybrids, and putters. We now have professionally designed courses, state-of-the-art gear, international tournaments and celebrities. For those who really love the game however, perhaps the greatest modern golf invention is the golf community: a place to call home where the whole neighborhood celebrates the game as seriously as players do. These communities offer the best professionally-designed courses all within a three iron/driver's distance from your front lawn. Often attracting celebrities and professional golf players, the challenging courses will test even the most experienced golfers. Still, there's enough variety in the courses to keep both avid and amateur golfers entertained. Residents don't need to be semi-pro, nor do they have to dumb it down. A range of challenges will keep it interesting for everyone - so feel free to invite your favorite non-golfing friends and relatives over. They might catch the bug too and end up as your neighbors!

MONTREAL, Sept 25 (Reuters) - U.S. captain Jack Nicklaus is not sure who he would like to see Tiger Woods partnered with at the Presidents Cup but he knows who he would like to see the world number one play against.

"I think it will be great if Mike Weir played Tiger," Nicklaus told reporters on Tuesday. "I think that would be a great match. I think it's the logical thing to try to do.

"But Mike might not want to play him. I have no idea if Gary (International captain Gary Player) wants to do that or not and I have no idea if Tiger wants to do that. But that's my thought."

Pairings and matchups -- particularly those involving Woods -- are treated as top secret at the Presidents Cup, the subject of endless debate and speculation ahead of the start of play on Thursday.

The slightest hint that Weir, the hometown hero and only Canadian in the field, could be the man chosen to face down the world's best player in Sunday's decisive singles triggered the first buzz of the week.

icWales - Golf: Becky and mates find solid form: "BECKY Brewerton and her European teammates seem to be running into form at the right time in the golf competition they are dubbing the ‘Stormheim Cup’ in Sweden. Given her second outing in the afternoon, early evening and morning fourballs, because of a weather delay meaning the event is running a few hours behind schedule, Brewerton showed she is ready for the biggest day of her golfing life today. She and partner Laura Davies will finish off their fourball match against Natalie Gulbis and Nicole Castrale, taking a one hole lead overnight thanks to Brewerton’s superb birdie on the 8th, and then go on into the singles. Europe trail the Solheim Cup overall by a point, but they lead in three and are level in the other of the unfinished afternoon matches – they would take a nine seven lead into the singles if it stays that way but all the games have seven-nine holes left early this morning."

Golf-Woods cruises to victory at Tour Championship | Sports | Golf | Reuters: "ATLANTA, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Tiger Woods birdied three of the last six holes to clinch a commanding eight-shot victory at the Tour Championship and inaugural FedExCup honours on Sunday. Three strokes ahead overnight, the world number one fired a four-under-par 66 at East Lake Golf Club for a tournament record total of 23-under 257. After bogeying the par-three second, Woods rattled up six birdies and one more bogey to seal his 61st PGA Tour title and a $10 million bonus as the first FedExCup champion. His playing partner and good friend Mark Calcavecchia closed with a 71 to share second place at 15 under with U.S. Masters champion Zach Johnson (68)."
