Orlando: a World-class Golf Destination

Orlando: a World-class Golf Destination

With dozens of championship golf courses, Central Florida has evolved into a true golfer’s paradise. Whether you are a beginner who wants to take lessons at one of the area’s renowned golf academies or a more experienced golfer who seeks new challenges, you will find a golf course in the Orlando area to meet your specific needs.

Walt Disney World Resort itself boasts five championship golf courses: Osprey Ridge, Palm, Magnolia, Eagle Pines and Lake Buena Vista. Designed by legendary architect Tom Fazio, Osprey Ridge is arguably the most difficult course at Disney World. The Palm course has been rated 4 stars by Golf Digest. The Magnolia course is known for the abundance of beautiful Magnolias that line the fairways. Eagle Pines is a par-72, 18-hole course designed by Pete Dye. Opened in 1971, the par-72 Lake Buena Vista course features 6,819 yards of golf. Disney World also offers the nine-hole, par-36 Oak Trail golf course.

Plenty of championship-caliber golf courses lie just minutes from Walt Disney World Resort. For instance, the award-winning MetroWest Golf Club was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and offers a wide range of challenges, including numerous bunkers and plentiful water hazards, as well as expansive fairways. Celebration Golf Club, which lies just 5 minutes from Disney World, was also designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., along with his son Robert Trent Jones Jr. ChampionsGate Golf Resort boasts 36 holes of championship golf and is also home to the world-renowned David Leadbetter Golf Academy. Designed by Ron Garl and Howard Swan, the par-73 Eagle Creek Golf Club boasts five par 5 holes. The new Shingle Creek Golf Club has already received the “Greens of Distinction” award from Corporate & Incentive Travel magazine.

Two area courses, Grand Cypress Golf Club and The Golden Bear Club at Keene’s Pointe, were both designed by “The Golden Bear” himself, Jack Nicklaus. The award-winning Grand Cypress Golf Club features three nine-hole courses, as well as the 18-hole New Course. It is also home to the Grand Cypress Academy of Golf. Amenities at the Golden Bear Club at Keene’s Pointe include a 24,000-square-foot clubhouse, full-service restaurant, fully stocked pro shop and driving range.

Orlando also hosts several golf tournaments on the PGA tour such as the Arnold Palmer Invitational (formerly known as the Bay Hill Invitational) at Bay Hill Golf Club in March and the Walt Disney World Resort Classic (formerly known as the FUNAI Golf Classic) at Walt Disney World Resort’s Palm & Magnolia Courses in mid-October. Both of these immensely popular tournaments draw some of the top professional golfers in the world such as Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh and Phil Mickelson.

“The presence of championship golf courses, along with world-class theme parks, makes Orlando the ideal destination for family vacations,” said Kyle Collins, Director of Interactive Marketing for HotelsCorp.com. “Visitors can choose from a variety of discount vacation packages that allow them to experience Disney World and also enjoy some quality time on the links during their stay.”

All Time Best Sports Games

All Time Best Sports Games

For those that remember playing on the Atari 2600 or Commodore 64, it blows the mind to think just how far the gaming industry has come in such a short time. Today, games achieve once undreamed of levels of realism, and perhaps this is most readily apparent in the segment of the market catering to the sports fan. However, realism isn’t always the hallmark of a great sports video game, as you’ll see as you take a journey through our picks for the top 8 best sports games ever.

8. Madden 2005

In terms of financial success, the Madden franchise is the greatest sports video game series ever made, but we had a tough time placing it any higher since it has limited appeal outside of North America. Why did we choose the 2005 edition out of the many available? Because 2005 included all of the great innovations we now take for granted.

7. NBA Street Vol. 2

Many people would argue that NBA Jam should be here instead, but those would just be the old farts that can’t let go of the past. Street took NBA Jam and made it cool for a whole new generation.

6. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003

Just as Tiger Woods helped to give the sport broader appeal, the 2003 edition of PGA Tour made golf video games available to entire new segments of the gaming field. People who wouldn’t be caught dead on the links were trashing talking and teeing off with Tiger.

5. World Soccer Winning Eleven 7 International

There are many great football titles to choose from, and reducing them to a single best is no easy task. In the end, we chose this one because it was revolutionary at the time of its release. Many football fans think FIFA, but EA owes a great deal of gratitude to this Konami product.

4. MLB 09: The Show

Unlike the Madden series, games geared around America’s other pastime sell extremely well outside of North America. MLB 09: The Show stands apart because it is still the standard for realism in a baseball game, and realism is king in baseball video games.

3. NHL ‘94

You knew that there had to be a hockey game in the list somewhere, but did you expect it to be a mid-90s entry? Maybe not, but when it comes to hockey video games, we think fun trumps graphics. This is the most enjoyable hockey game ever assembled.

2. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2

There was a time when many of us wouldn’t even consider skateboarding a sport, but that has all changed. THPS2 is not only the greatest skateboarding game ever made, it revolutionized sports games in general with its fluid animation.

1. Punch-Out!!

When one sits down to create a list of the greatest sports video games ever made, one might as well start by pencilling in Punch-Out in the number one slot. No video game has ever captured the worldwide imagination quite the way this one did.

Well, there you have them, the top 8 best games ever according to us. We’re sure you disagree with at least a few. Where would the fun be if you didn’t?

Golf Clubs - Picking Out the Perfect Set of Golf Clubs

Golf Clubs - Picking Out the Perfect Set of Golf Clubs

Beginning golfers who are looking for a starter set of golf clubs must consider buying good-quality used clubs rather than being tempted by cheap new clubs. Even after you’ve had professional advice and read all the reviews, there are several personal factors to think about. Your own height, weight, shape, strength and style of play should be considered when choosing golf clubs.


A standard set of golf clubs includes irons, woods and a putter. Irons are are designated with numbers from two through nine. Woods usually come numbered 1 through 5.


The golf club shaft also gets shorter as the numbers go up; that is, the shaft of a two iron is longer than the shaft of a nine iron. Woods are numbered from one through five. With all golf clubs, lower numbered clubs hit the ball farther, but at a lower trajectory. In addition to extra lift, higher numbered clubs also create more backspin on the golf ball.


Irons


Traditionally, irons have the club’s weight concentrated behind the middle of the head. This design creates what is called the sweet spot, the perfect place on the club to hit the ball. Traditional irons are the choice of players on the tour because of their great accuracy and control.


However, if you don’t make contact with the golf ball precisely on the sweet spot, these golf clubs are positively unforgiving!


It’s now also possible to find irons with a peripheral weight design. These are also called cavity-backed or game improvement golf clubs. The weight is more evenly distributed around the edges, which is like expanding the sweet spot of the golf club.


Cavity-backed golf clubs are much friendlier to new golfers. They are mainly intended for beginners or inconsistent players. However, cavity-backed clubs can also be found on the pro golf circuits as well. So if this design really works well for you, don’t let the name “game improvement” club scare you away.


Woods


Traditionally made from wood, they are designed for initial drives or for long fairway shots. Conventional wooden drivers are still preferred by many pro golfers. Unfortunately, much like traditional irons, these woods are very unforgiving if your contact with the ball isn’t perfect. This is exactly why woods made of metal now dominate the amateur game.


Today’s woods are constructed with hollow shells that provide greater distribution of weight. The only shortcoming of these new designs is that it may be trickier to shape or control the ball. Graphite heads offer the best performance, but also are the most costly.


The shafts of golf clubs come in different degrees of flex: soft, regular and stiff. Most agree that stronger players who are better at the game should opt for stiffer shafts. Most golf club shafts are made out of steel or graphite.


Putters


These are without a doubt the most personal item in the bag of golf clubs. They range from very plain to exotic designs. If you acquire a complete set of golf clubs, it will probably include a basic putter.


After you’d played a little, you should probably change out this standard putter with a design that’s more compatible with your playing style. This is something that may take some trial and error.


But after playing a few rounds and spending time in practice, you should be able to find one that works for you.


Choosing the right golf clubs for yourself is so personal. Thinking through what is important technically, as well as your own preferences, is vital if you are to make the best decision for your game.

<!– @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } –>

There is no honour in hitting a hole-in-one if you’re dressed like a twit. If you want to bring your A-game on the course this summer, you should make sure you are wearing something that looks at least as good as your shots. That way, even if you’re not a very good golfer you can be sure you’re looking as stylish as possible. Below is a brief list of the things that you will need this summer. Although some of them might seem a little expensive, they are all sound investments if you plan to be a long term golf player (and if you can find some sports voucher codes from a website that offers discount codes, you may be able to make a great saving – try http://www.voucherking.co.uk/categories/sports). Here is the low-down:

 

Men: Adidas Climacool Trousers

 

Not only are these babies suave, they’ll keep you ventilated and sweat-free. The ideal trousers for staying cool, calm, and collected throughout your game. They are oh-so comfortable, and they come in a range of colours. We’d recommend “Ecru” (which is a beige colour) – because it’s as smart as black without the problems of heating up in the summer sun.

 

Women: Backtee Pinstripe Capri

 

If you want to look great out on the course, it’s all about understated pastel colours and simple patterns. These will keep you cool, flexible, and looking fantastic. In “iron brown” they’ll go with almost anything.

 

Men: Calvin Klein Tech Pique Polo

 

It’s casual, and yet strong and sporty. You’ll look like a man who knows how to dress, even if you are not a man who knows how to play golf…

 

Women: Backtee Sleeveless Sweater with Argyle Band

 

The ideal accompaniment to the Capri mentioned above, it’ll keep you warm – but not too warm.

PGA Tour 2-in-1 Windbreaker

 

This coat will keep you warm and dry if the weather turns bad, and in black it will go with anything else. The PGA tour brand makes you look that little bit more like a pro, too.

 

Women: Sunderland Ladies Classic Waterproof Jacket

 

It’s plain, it’s black, it’s got a zip on the front and it keeps the water off you. There’s not a lot else to say, except for the fact that this is the ideal coat to own if you want to create a range of great golfing outfits. It can safely be work with almost anything if rainclouds turn up.

 

So there are some great suggestions about what to be wearing this summer. Go for light pastel colours and simple patterns and make sure you get a coat that will go with anything! If you can find a website offering discount codes, and can find some good sports voucher codes, you may be able to stretch your budget further. Also, don’t forget to shop around for the best deals – you’ll be buying clothes to last, so you may as well make sure you are making the best possible investment. Last of all… happy golfing!

Proper Golf Grip-how To Grip The Club To Make An Effective Swing

Proper Golf Grip-how To Grip The Club To Make An Effective Swing

What is the proper golf grip? Simply, having the right golf grip is probably one of the most important aspects of the golf technique because if you get this part wrong, the rest of your swing is already shot.

Very simply, if you do get the golf grip right, even if you do a lot of things wrong during the golf swing, you still have a chance at hitting a decent shot. Here are some golf tips for beginners and more advanced players to help you get the proper golf grip for your swing, and help you play a lifetime of good golf.

First of all, remember that there are three different ways to grip a golf club when swinging. No one is necessarily the most effective, so here they are: the overlapping grip, the interlocking grip, and the baseball grip.

Again, no one of these grips is the exact right way, and you will have to experiment to find out which one works for you. Keep in mind, the overlapping grip is the one that most of the PGA Tour pros use, and you very well might find that works the best for you.

For the overlapping golf grip, you simply put your little finger of one hand over your index finger. For the interlocking grip, it is very similar to overlapping, but the two fingers simply interlocked instead of overlap. It is notable that Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus both used the interlocking golf grip, although most PGA pros don’t. You certainly can’t do much better than these two.

With the baseball grip, the set of fingers are not overlapped or interlock, but basically meet together like with a baseball grip. Very few PGA pros use this golf grip, but if you find works good for you, you might want to give it a shot.

No matter which grip you decide to use, however, make absolutely sure that your hands are relaxed because this is the most important part of the golf swing. If your hands are tight and tense, this will add tension to the rest of your body, and therefore will slow your swing down and hurt your golf swing. The only way you can make a proper golf swing is when you are completely relaxed; if you tense up over the ball, this will cause you to mis-hit it.

Hopefully these proper golf grip tips will help you get the right golf grip for your swing, and to start playing golf as effectively as you can possibly play. Again, as I said earlier, no matter how good your golf swing, if you don’t have the right grip, you can never play as effectively as you otherwise might.

Simply experiment with these three different grips, find out which one works the best for you, and then start practicing with it every single day. The only way to really master anything is to practice it quite a bit, so find the proper golf grip that works for you, and practice until you master it.

Also, there are many great golf tips and lessons on the web that might help you out as well. Hopefully these tips will help you improve your game quickly and effortlessly.
