The popularity of golf has really taken off in recent years. To accommodate the many people who play, take lessons, watch, or read about the sport, golf employment has become much more readily available, in a variety of interesting businesses.

Golf courses: There are many more golf courses in operation today than there was twenty years ago, and every one of them offers dozens of golf employment opportunities. In order to run smoothly, golf courses need groundskeepers to care for the turf, operators and technicians for the equipment needed on a golf course, instructors to provide training for the golf course’s members, and managers to make sure everything runs smoothly. Additionally, many golf courses have clubhouses and golf stores, both of which require sufficient staff in order to provide members with their conveniences.

Golf resorts: Golfing vacations are becoming more and more popular, as the explosion of golf resorts has indicated. A golf resort requires all of the same staff as a golf course does, except that a golf resort is often bigger and therefore requires more employees. Additionally, a golf resort needs a larger establishment to house their guests, and with a bigger building and more services comes a larger staff: housekeepers, front desk employees, and an expanded kitchen staff all contribute to the success of a golf resort.

Golf schools: As golf becomes more and more popular, more schools are opening every day to teach the sport. These schools are a wonderful source of golf employment for those who would rather teach the sport as the next best thing to playing it themselves.

Golf stores: There are a variety of retail businesses that sell golf equipment, clothing and accessories. Some stores, such as those small stores located in golf course clubhouses, may sell only products that relate to golf. Other stores, such as large sports stores, sell equipment and clothing for a variety of different sports, golf included. Both types of stores offer excellent opportunities for golf employment, as they both have a need for sales associates who know about golf well enough to give their customers the best service possible.

Community centers: Believe it or not, your neighborhood community center may be able to provide you with golf employment. Community centers frequently offer residents fun, seasonal programs, such as classes on art, dance, and golf. Even if your community center doesn’t already offer a golf program, you may be able to get a job just by suggesting one.

Junior high or high schools: Extracurricular activities are an important part of most junior high and high schools. Whether you are a teacher or just a golf enthusiast living in the area, you may be able to score a part time job by suggesting golf lessons or a golf club as an after school activity.

Golf publications: Most people wouldn’t think of it, but golf publications offer another source of golf employment. There are at least a half-dozen golf magazines on the shelves of any well-stocked bookstore, and every one of them needs writers, editors, and photographers who know all about golf.

On your own: Golf is an industry that leaves plenty of room for entrepreneurs. As an experienced golfer, you can offer private golf lessons, meeting your clients wherever they enjoy golfing the most. You can also translate your knowledge and experience into written form by publishing biographies about famous golfers, travel guides that discuss the pros and cons various golf resorts around the world, or even how-to manuals for golf enthusiasts who want to learn more about the sport.

As you can see, there are many places of employment for golf enthusiasts. The golf industry is so popular that anyone with the right education and experience will never have to worry about having reliable golf employment.

One of the most beautiful aspects of the game of golf is the variance between playing terrains. There are great courses, and there are terrible ones, but there’s a world of new playing experiences available to you. In this article, we’ll highlight some of the top places to play golf across America.

- Pebble Beach Golf Links is one course that has received much critical acclaim. Located in Pebble Beach, California, the course has brought class and elegance to the game of golf since its inception in 1919. It was ranked the number one public golf course in America in Golf Digest’s 2005 list. The terrain is a thing of beauty, with holes cutting across ragged coastline and the great Pacific Ocean being incorporated into most holes. Spanning 6,737 yards, this 72-par course has been host to numerous golfing events throughout the years, with the 2000 U.S. Open Championships being held the most recently at the course.

- Located in Pinehurst, North Carolina is the Pinehurst Resort and Country Club. This historic golfing locale has been around since 1895, and features 8 separate golf courses, allowing for much diversity in play. Spanning over 2,000 acres, you can spend weeks just getting used to the different courses. A wonderful place to vacation, Pinehurst also features much in the way of accommodations and recreation.

- Shadow Creek is a golf course located in North Las Vegas. Designed by an architect of much critical acclaim named Tom Brizio, the course is featured in an extravagant package that you can purchase at one of Vegas’s MGM Mirage properties. Upon setting your tee time, a private limousine will pick you up at the hotel and transport you to the course. The landscape of the course is highlighted by beautiful scenes, with waterfalls, creeks and mountains dotting the landscape. Be sure to check out the 18th hole at Shadow Creek; it is a trademark of the beauty and careful thought that went into creating the course.

These are merely a few of the best public courses throughout America. There are hundreds of wonderful courses out there, and as a golfer, you’re encouraged to make at least a few pilgrimages to the beautiful courses our land has to offer.

Walk into any golf shop and you will be greeted with the sight of dozens of different kinds of golf clubs. From drivers, to fairway woods, irons, wedges, and putters, there are literally thousands of potential combinations of golf clubs available, and all of them are expensive. Anyone considering new golf equipment, whether they are an experienced player or raw beginner, should give thought to used golf clubs.

Used golf clubs present many advantages to the golfer aside from the most obvious advantage of being less expensive. The biggest advantage presented by used golf clubs is the way they hold their initial value much better than their new counterparts. They say that a new car becomes much less valuable the moment you drive it off the lot, and golf clubs are no different. A new set of golf clubs loses a significant percentage of its value the moment you play your first round with them. Used golf clubs, on the other hand, do not suffer from that same symptom.

Like used cars and the Blue Book, there are Internet value guides that list the value of used golf clubs. After purchasing used golf clubs, the value of the clubs won’t depreciate much, if at all, after you go play a few rounds with them. As every golfer knows, the only way to know if you really like a set of clubs is to go play with them in an actual round. A golfer who has purchased a set of used golf clubs has the luxury of knowing that after a few rounds of play, if they do not like the used golf clubs they have purchased they can sell them and expect most, if not all, of their investment in return. This allows the golfer to try various combinations and styles of used golf clubs until they find the right combination for them, and all without spending much more than their initial investment.

Another advantage of used golf clubs is the various upgrades that can be found on many used golf clubs. Bins of used drivers and fairways woods are often full of clubs that have the latest and greatest aftermarket shaft upgrades, and the knowledgeable golfer can find a combination that not only suits his game, but might be better than any “off the rack” options on the market.

If you are considering a new set of clubs, or thinking about taking up the game, give some consideration to used golf clubs. Pro shops, internet auction sites, and retail golf shops are all great places to look for used golf clubs. With a little bit of knowledge anyone can take advantage of the opportunities that used golf clubs present.

Have you ever thought about what trade shows, conventions, meetings and the holidays all have in common? When you’re in a business that requires promoting your company or organization, it means gifts and giveaways to be sure potential customers remember your name, which in turn means finding a unique yet personal item to put your company name and/or logo on. Personalized logo golf balls are the ideal solution for all of your needs.

Just about everyone knows someone who plays golf or participates in the sport themselves, so your money spent certainly won’t go to waste. But it goes much further than that. A golf enthusiast is a member of a truly unique breed, who will brave any natural or manmade element to get in at least nine holes. They live, eat, and sleep the sport, traveling to the ends of the earth to play at a certain course. They collect golf trinkets and trophies, plaques and pictures, tees and t-shirts, anything and everything having to do with golf, including unique golf balls. Many such unique items are never used, but proudly displayed on a shelf for the world to see, including your company name and logo imprinted on the ball.

Of course, there are many golfers who will undoubtedly utilize your gift, driving your logo across the course and showing it off to other players in the process. If they lose the ball, that can be considered good news for you, as now the lucky finder will be well aware of you, your company and your logo.

Now let’s touch upon packaging of your golf balls, as you probably don’t want the presentation of your unique item to be in plain white packaging. If you’re a store, you have your name/logo printed on the bag or gift box for your customers. If you have a wholesale product, you ship your goods in preprinted boxes. Why would you settle for anything less than a custom package to help promote your custom golf balls? A quality, golf ball printing company will have a variety of options for you to choose from, from single-ball boxes for trade show giveaways all the way up to dozen-ball boxes as gifts for those special customers and clients on your list. And of course, your company name/logo will be incorporated into the design printed on the box.

By having custom printed logo golf balls created by a professional company that specializes in this one particular item, you’ll be more than satisfied with the end result. Just like no one knows your business better than you, no one knows custom-printed, logo golf balls better than they do.

I created an 18 hole 'golf course' around my park using the almostGolf ball. It's seemingly 'extreme' golf, but it's really pretty cool. This is definately something you can't do with a golf ball.

I want golf clubs ranging from 20$ to 60$ where should i go?
I want more of a driver. Where do you think i could find a nice 80$ or less one?

Neither one. Go to a yard sale, this is the only way to find a set of clubs for less than 60$.

I'm looking to by my first set of golf clubs and am trying to find a balance between good and cheap.

I can tell you for a fact that Spalding clubs are complete junk, so take the first person's response with a grain of salt.

Although this is probably not what you want to here, in general, you get what you pay for with golf clubs. Higher quality clubs are usually the high priced ones. Some brands go a bit over the top with price, but there just aren't many good quality brands under $400 (for irons only).

I suggest you look at some of the equipment guides available at your local bookstore (such as the one put out by Golf Digest), and reputable golf review sites like golfwrx.com. If you're looking at a low cost brand that isn't mentioned in places like this, chances are it's a cheap knock off or low quality brand. The only exception to that would be custom made clubs, which often are not reviewed in such publications, but are usually on par in price with top brands, so you can usually assume they're of good quality.

And stay away from knock off brands. They are made to LOOK like better brands, not perform or hold up like top brands.
