have loved the game of golf. I grew up playing alongside my father and brothers and learned many life skills throughout my years of playing and competing. It still is today my most favorite sport to play. When I was a freshman in high school, my advisory teacher asked everyone in the class “What is your dream job?” As I listened to my peers describe their futures, I realized my ambitions were headed down a different path. I announced to the class that I wanted to be a golf course architect. At a young

Golf courses in America hold themselves to a high standard when it comes to maintaining the thick, weed free and lusciously manicured turf in the fairways of their course.

Hillandale golf course is named the “Granddaddy golf course of Durham/ Research Triangle golf”. Hillandale was donated to the Durham area back in 1911 through the

As professional golfer Tom Watson once articulated, “No other game combines the wonder of nature with discipline of sport in such carefully planned ways,” (Coursing with capability, 2013, para. 1). Golf courses must take the responsibility of environmental stewardship seriously. They must employ responsible management practices to avoid harm as they plan

The Golf Course The town I grew up in, in central Minnesota has this small little golf course. Now to the average person who did not grow up here in my town would not even bat an eye at it and think it was a run down crappy course. To me though this golf course is one of the best places in the entire world and when I am here I can just be me. Here I can escape from the world and all of my problems and just be me.This place has shown me what hard work can accomplish and how much fun it can be by
Southeast Asia due to Golf Course Development The sport of golf has come a long way since it was first played on the wind blown pasture lands of Scotland over 600 years ago.

Computers Related To Turf Grass Industries The field of turfgrass science, and golf course management has became very sophisticated in just the few short years that I have been involved.

the back- lake because it was the lake way in the back of the golf course. One night (a friends name) and I had an experience there that would shake us up for a long time to come. The night started out like a lot of other nights. First we went to go eat some ice-cream from Foster-Freeze, then we would get on our bicycles and pedal our little butts all the way to the golf course. Once there, we would get on this road that golf carts use to drive around. The road was very windy. When we

The imposing iron gates standing between the West Derby streets and the Melwood training complex might have shifted some 500 yards or so off Melwood Avenue ??? and onto ?????? since the last time Liverpool contemplated a trip to a European Cup Final but outside the scenes are exactly the same.

Toni Morrison begins the novel Sula with these powerful words, describing more than a physical place, but a spiritual place where a community once stood. She begins with the destruction of the community, ultimately beginning at the end because her novel traces
