Ti-Ming & Tem-Po - The Gods of Golf
Photo Courtesy of Puttential Unlimited
That's right, folks. You still have time left to get your friends, loved ones, that golf-related gift. The "Gods of Golf" are watching, as you can see in the photo; not only that, they make great gifts. The item you see here is a "Hole-In-One" trophy. The lucky ball sits between the two Gods. They stand about 6 inches high and come with a certificate recording said hole-in-one. And there's a whole range of "Gods of Golf" gifts for you to consider - copper bracelets, bag tags, ornaments, etc. They are fun, unique, and make excellent conversation pieces. But don't stop there. You can find all sorts of holiday gifts, golf related of course, by checking out my three lists:

My Back Yard - Dec 2009
Copyright 2009 Blair Howard
Well, this year snow came early to Tennessee, as you can see from the photo taken in my back yard just a couple of days ago. Looks idyllic, doesn't it? Funny thing is, they're still playing golf here, especially on The Bear Trace, five Tennessee state parks each with a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course therein. I haven't mentioned them much over the past several years - must be that "we never really appreciate the things we have close to home" thing - but they all are great places to play, and the fees are ridiculously low for what you get. Wan't to know more? Please check out mt reviews of The Bear Trace golf courses in Tennessee.

Misty Creek Golf Club
Over the past several weeks I've been talking a lot about the Fort Myers and Naples area of Florida. Now, I think, I need to make you aware of another of my favorite spots in that particular part of Southwest FL: Sarasota and Bradenton. There are a number of wonderful golf courses in and around Sarasota, many of them public access and still more country club courses available to you through the specials I'll be listing for you over the next several weeks. In the meantime, you might like to check out Misty Creek - Pelican Pointe - River Strand - Riverwood - and The Cub Renaissance Golf Course at Sun City Center. All are well worth considering you're planning a trip to the Sarasota/Fort Myers/Naples area. Oh, and please check out my listings of Golf Courses in Fort Myers

The 2nd at River Course
Rio Mar, Puerto Rico
Copyright © 2008 Blair Howard
In keeping with the current thinking (mine), the warm, balmy breezes of Puerto Rico beckon, but where to go?. Well, with two championship golf courses, Rio Mar Beach Resort & Spa stands out among its peers. The Ocean Course is a classic Tom & George Fazio creation: wide landing areas, strategically-placed bunkers, elevated greens and four sets of tees, while the River Course is typical Greg Norman. So, if warmer weather is on YOUR mind, and you're looking for sunshine, a challenge and some of the most spectacular scenery in the Caribbean, you might consider flying off to Puerto Rico; I'll be heading out that way some time early in the New Year.
