Great golf abounds near these U.S. hot spots
If there’s anything avid golfers love more than playing new courses, it’s traveling to play new courses. Preferably lots of them.
Golfers in the United States are blessed with dozens of hot spots – some hotter than others – offering scores of courses and resorts within an hours’ drive of each other. What’s more, these destinations cater to golfers with special package pricing, fairway-side lodging and other enticements.

Sustainable golf development projects
These days construction goes hand in hand with sustainability. There are a number of legislative arrangements that ensure the sustainability is a priority for all construction projects including golf courses. This can cause a conflict between the objectives of making a profit from big projects and the need to ensure that the environment is not being harmed.
Getting women to play golf
One of the more lamentable aspects of golf is the relatively small number of women who occupy high profile places in the ranks. Unlike tennis, there is limited scope to have group events or inter-sex events that can increase the role of women in the sport. This is not to denigrate the role of women pioneers who have taken to the game with enthusiasm and have created great achievements over the years.
