Jumat, 25 Januari 2013

Playing the best golf game requires skills and practice. However, there is one thing that you should also consider in order to play a magnificent golf game. This is to play in a very relaxing environment where you can concentrate on your golf swing with professional-like skills and accuracy.

Besides, if you play in a golf course beside a busy freeway with noisy vehicles passing by, you will lose concentration and will result in ruining your golf swing. It is true that there are golf clubs located all over the world. However, few of these golf clubs have high quality standards to bring the best out in your game.

One such place that you can definitely concentrate on playing golf and at the same time relax is the Fota Island Golf Club. Located in Cork Harbour, which is only a few minutes drive from Cork City, Fota Island is a world renowned golf club that offers the one of the best golf courses in Europe. A golf vacation here would truly be worthwhile.

Firstly, Fota Island Golf Club is a very traditional golf course. It is a sister property of Mount Juliet and both is known to maintain the highest standards in golfing to ensure golfing enjoyment the whole year.

Fota Island Golf Club lies in the heart of a 780 acre estate integrated with good quality woodlands and landscape that will surely make every golfer want to play every single day. This golf course is comprised of a challenging par 71 championship course in the traditional mode. It has pot bunkers and undulating putting surfaces to meet the challenge of every golfer around the world.

Golf was first played in Fota Island in 1886. And, during those times, it was continually developed and became one of the premier locations in golfing. In 1993, Fota Island Golf Club was further developed by Christy OConnor Jr. (Irish Ryder Cup), and Peter McEvoy (two-time English Amateur Champion).

Fota Island is considered as essentially a resort course and hosts a number of tournaments which includes the Irish Club Professional Championship. Fota Island was then purchased by the Killeen Group (owners of Mt. Juliet Resort in Kilkenny). Since then, developments have started to take place and the course has been upgraded to European Tour standards.

In November 2004, Fota Island Golf Club was purchased by the Fleming Group. The Fleming Group also improved the course by renovating some of the holes and also maintained the greens and reseeded the trees surrounding the golf course. Today, the Fleming Group has already invested in the construction of hotel and residential developments in Fota Island to complement the golf course.

With a magnificent course plan, Fota Island Golf Club definitely lives up to its name as one of the best golf destinations in the world.

The Fota Island Clubhouse has all the amenities that you can ever ask for. Inside, you will find that the clubhouse is more like a first-class hotel instead of a conventional golf clubhouse. On the first floor, you will see an informal bar and the reception area. Upstairs you will see a fully seated restaurant that serves only the highest quality meals with the highest and freshest quality Irish produce.

Other amenities you will find in Fota Island Golf Club will include locker rooms, and a fully stocked pro shop with products in the highest professional standards.

Fota Island Golf Club is definitely the place to be if you are looking for the best quality golfing experience. So, if you plan on going on a golfing vacation, you should consider going to Fota Island Golf Club.

I wanted nothing to give me any trouble.

Pinpointing The Best Golf Resorts In Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach resorts have some of the best golf in the world. These are the picturesque links along the Atlantic Ocean - made famous by the Ryder Cup and the Worldcom Classic on the PGA Tour, and they attract golfers from all over the world.

The best part about Myrtle Beach is that most of the golf courses in the region are public all year, even resort courses. Thanks to this very open policy, Myrtle Beach and nearby areas like Charleston and Hilton Head Island see over a million golfing tourists hit their shores every year. These are courses designed by the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Pete Dye, Tom Fazio and the infamous Robert Trent Jones.

To find more about a few of the best Myrtle Beach resorts that offer incredible golfing opportunities, read on.

Harbor Town

This is one of the best known and most sought courses in all South Carolina. Built by Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye as part of a collaborative effort, this course is challenging and thrilling. The green fee is close to $200, but the course offers some of the best golfing experience in the country. From the multiple water hazards to the wind coming over the rolling hills, you'll be challenged on every hole.

Kiawah Island Resort and Golf Course 

Built on beautiful oceanfront property, the Kiawah Island Ocean Resort and Golf Club is home to one of the best Pete Dye-created golf courses out there. It was used in the Ryder Cup and strives to challenge golfers with bold ocean winds, incredible views and unexpected challenges.

The course is part of the luxury Kiawah Island Resort, and though the course is a bit pricey, it's well worth it for a once-in-a-lifetime golf experience. It's also located closer to Charleston than Myrtle Beach, but worth the drive.

Pawleys Plantation

Built along wetlands in lightly populated Pawleys Island south of Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Plantation is far different than most resort courses. Originally a country club, Pawleys Plantation is somewhat secluded in a tranquil location dissected by a huge wetlands area that's part of a wildlife preserve.

Out of all the listed Myrtle beach resorts, Pawleys Plantation provides guests with the most traditional southern experience. Visitors are treated to historic architecture, southern hospitality and manners, and golf that's both challenging and away from the crowds.

Plan Your New Zealand South Island Independent Holiday Itinerary

When you start to plan your New Zealand holiday it throws up some difficult questions. I have often been asked which I like best, the North Island or the South Island. That is quite a difficult question, as living in a location is different to seeing it as a tourist. Scenically they are very different and both lovely.

However, if you have limited time for your New Zealand holiday I would definitely recommend the South Island as your choice. To really do justice to the South Island, you need 4-5 weeks. This allows you to take time to enjoy the many activities. You could spend a lot more time, if you are intending to do some of the long hikes such as the Milford Track, Heaphy Track, or go to some of the remoter areas. But usually choices have to be made.

The Best of the South Island Independent Tour Route

Some people may adapt this and manage a rushed New Zealand holiday in two weeks, but will have to reduce the suggested route further, or have quicker stops in some areas. This is itineray will take about 3 weeks , travelling time.

The route I would suggest that gives you the best overall coverage of the South Island, would start from Christchurch, the only international airport. This semi circular route can of course be driven in the opposite direction.

  • Drive north to Kaikoura, for whale watching, swimming with dolphins and great crayfish!
  • Hanmer Springs will make a nice break for a swim in the thermal hot pools.
  • Carry on to Nelson. Take 2-3 days here to enjoy the beaches - don't miss beautiful golden Kaiteriteri beach, check out some wineries, arts and crafts, and walk or kayak in Abel Tasman National Park.
  • Blenheim, Marlborough, is the wine center - where our famous New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc grows best.
  • Nelson Lakes - are very scenic, with plenty of day walks in the area.
  • Drive through Murchison to the West Coast.
  • Karamea - at the northern most tip is worth the rive if you have time - you will be doubling back.
  • Greymouth - Shanty town will give the children a thrill with its replica goldmining town.
  • Punakaiki Pancake Rocks - are a unique sight. The layered rocks, with pounding seas and blowholes are spectacular. The nikau forest is an unusual sight too, giving a tropical feel to the area.
  • Hokitika - has glass blowing, greenstone carving, arts and crafts, and is right on the beach.
  • Whataroa Sanctuary for the kotuku - New Zealand white heron - is a good trip in the season, to view New Zealand's only white herons.
  • Gillespie's Beach, 25 kilometers north of Fox Glacier is a good beach walk to see the seals. There are about 1500 so it is quite a sight - and smell! But worth it! You need to allow several hours.
  • Fox Glacier
  • Franz Joseph Glacier - You will want to spend at least a couple of days in this glacier area to really have a good experience. You can do guided walks on the ice, fly over the glaciers, and enjoy the magnificent scenery.
  • Haast Pass through to Lake Wanaka, which is a beautiful stop.
  • From Wanaka you would go over the Crown Range a challenging but very scenic drive, or round Lake Dunstan , past Queenstown to
  • Te Anau - From here you can go to
  • Milford Sound
  • Doubtful Sounds - this is an excellent wilderness boat trip
  • Alternatively, base yourself in Queenstown and do a tour to Milford Sound
  • Queenstown - If you have only a very limited time for your New Zealand holiday then Queenstown is the place to go. Voted one of the world's top 10 destinations for 2008, you need to allow plenty of time to do day trips - Lord of the Rings tours, Arrowtown, try some of the extreme sports - bungee jumping, Shotover jet boat, 4WD to old goldmining towns, Skippers Canyon, jet boating, heli skiing, take the historic "Earnslaw" boat to Walter Peak sheep station across Lake Wakatipu.. The choices are prolific. Adventure activities are a major industry, the scenery stunning. There is something for everyone in this fabulous part of the country.
  • Options - Twizel to Mt Cook if time is short, or to Dunedin then to Mt Cook.
  • Twizel - once a town built for the workers building the power station, it has become a popular center for those wanting to do the many outdoor mountain activities in the area.
  • Queenstown to Dunedin. Take a day to go out on the Otago Peninsula to the Albatross Colony and visit Larnach Castle. You can also see penguins.
  • Travel up the East Coast via Moeraki Boulders- visit the Moeraki Fish Restaurant on the wharf, en route to
  • Mt Cook - or Aoraki - New Zealand's highest mountain. It tempts many climbers - but they do need to be experienced. Sadly it has claimed many lives. The walks and outdoor activities could keep you busy for a few days if you are keen. On to Christchurch via
  • Lake Tekapo - see the little stone church with the sheep dog monument overlooking Lake Tekapo in the middle of the MacKenzie country.
  • Arrive Christchurch.
This suggested itinerary could be increased by taking a route south via Invercargill, if you have an extra week or two. But the route above will give you an amazing scenic, activity packed holiday. You can also adapt it incorporating the best of the North Island and starting the circuit at Nelson.

Paxos Island, the Best Choice for Your Summer Holidays

Your studies are just through and here starts the best part for you and your friends as it's high time you organised your summer holidays. The very first thing that you have to choose is your destination: Mykonos, Paros, or Chalkidiki? Though, you wonder whether this year you should make a change in your plans and go to the Ionian Sea, since you have never been there before. Firstly, you have to pick the right place and the name of Paxos Island is coming to your mind. This beautiful, small, ideal for all kind of people, island will be this year's choice.

After the meeting that I had with my friends we decided to make the plan of how to go to Paxos Island. First we will drive from Athens to Igoumentsa, which is about 6 hours. Then, we have to book our ticket with the ferry, about 9 from Igoumenitsa to Paxos and nearly 2 1/2 hours till that picturesque island. Of course, one might think that nearly 10 hours is a long time but I ensure you that when you arrive at Gaios Port in Paxos you will definitely forget everything and you will be looking forward to sorting out all your things in a hotel room or at these magnificent villas and then start exploring that earthly paradise.

So, after we will sort out all of our things we will find an agency to rent a motor bike or a bicycle to see Paxos, Loggos Lakka and all the other places. Soon enough we will probably find a tavern serving fish and some local drinks as ouzo or some tsipouro.

If you think that Paxos has only these places to visit, then you are mistaken as me and my friends will surely rent a small boat or take a line boat to visit Antipaxos. Antipaxos is a paradise. Antipaxos, with the crystallized green water, can only be compared with the Caribbean Sea. We think that we will probably rent our boat to learn how to drive it and have some more fun.

We will come back in the afternoon, stay in and get some rest by the pool of our villa before we start to get ready for our evening out. People and tourists get mixed every night, as people on Paxos are very friendly, so you will probably have a drink with them while chatting about some hidden places that exist in Paxos and are worth visiting, as most of the tourists like to see every part of the island organising small explorations.

We undoubtedly think that this year Paxos Island will be our choice and we hope that these beautiful island holidays will be unforgettable.
