What are the best golf courses to play in the Atlanta area?

admin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:57:49 +0000

I’m a huge golfer and am visiting Atlanta to attend the final four in late march and early April of this year. I want to golf a couple of the best courses in the area. Price is no concern. Obviously it would be great to golf Augusta National but that is most likely impossible as it is a very private club. I would appreciate any suggestions, names, web sites, or links to the best courses in the area. Thank you for your time.

Go to Golfdigest.com and look up state-by-state rankings of courses. They do a great job of ranking courses and can give you much more information than we can do here. Try the following link, but if it doesn’t work, just search on Golf Digest.

What is the best golf bag to carry golf clubs on an international flight?

admin — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:45:06 +0000

Have recently bought a golf bag with dividers that dont cover the entire lenght of the clubs. Im afraid that they will be damaged on the flight by handling.Which is the best bag to buy to make sure that the clubs are safe?

I had the same problem so a friend told me about these bags made just for this problem (OGIO is the only way to go)

Constructed with heavy grade materials, this durable, soft-sided bag includes inline skate wheels and powerful internal cinch straps to secure and transport sizes ranging from traditional stand bags to oversize tournament bags.

How do I go about designing golf courses?

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:51:00 +0000

I believe my true calling in life is to design golf courses, or at least work with those who do the design of golf courses.
I have a background in Civil Engineering so I understand the importance of drainage and storm water detention.
Just wondering if anyone out there can give me a little direction.

Thanks in advance.

The design of a golf course requires collaboration between many disciplines. This involves mostly civil engineers and landscape architects.

As you stated, civil engineers are mainly responsible for designing the drainage of the overall site. They will also be responsible for land reclamation and geotechnical assessments.

On the other hand, the landscape architects are responsible for designing the contours of the site in order to tailor for the varying difficulties of the holes of the course, as well as the placement of lakes and trees.

Having said all that, I doubt that golf design companies directly employ civil engineers, rather they employ the landscape architects. They in turn offer contracts with consultancies for the design of the infrastructure, such as the drainage works and road access.

I might be wrong. I highly suggest you contact golf design companies: http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&source=hp&q=golf+course+designers&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=golf+course+designers&fp=d201e90ebf28d963

I hope this helps and I wish you the very best with your future career.

Three golf balls fit snugly in a rectangular box. What fraction of the space in the box do they occupy?

Exactly the same ratio as that between a sphere and a cube have a side of the same length as the diameter of the sphere.
The ratio is : 4/3 x pi x r x r divided by d x d x d.

Is it legal to drive a golf cart on a private course while intoxicated?

admin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:41:29 +0000

I golf frequently at a private golf course near my house. They serve alcohol on the course (a snack cart drives around) and I sometimes see people bring their own flasks of liquor to the course. I often see people who are drunk driving the golf carts. Is it legal because it is on private property or could you get a DUI for that?

I live in Colorado.

I know a guy who lost his drivers license for 10 years for a third DUI. He was on a bicycle.

How often should you replace your golf glove?

admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 05:13:09 +0000

How often should you replace your golf glove? I’ve heard that you should replace it every 6 practices and every 6 rounds of golf. Is this true?

Also, is there a website that I can buy cheap cabretta leather golf gloves?

I’d replace it when I lost it. They’re not really necessary; nor is golf a sport. At best its a hobby.
