Golf Courses are the Place for Natural Social Networking
Golf Courses are the Place for Natural Social Networking, says ASGCA
Fundamental human need to socialize comes together for friends, family and
business associates on courses of all types
BROOKFIELD, Wis. – In a world of Blackberry devices, Facebook pages and Twitter accounts, there is no substitute for personal interaction, the kind found every day through the game of golf. Golf courses provide the basis for the numerous social benefits provided by golf, says the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA).
“Golf course are a source of tremendous economic and environmental value to a community,” said ASGCA President Erik Larsen. “But the social benefits a golf course provides are just as valuable. Whether you are out for a round with some friends, conducting formal business in a friendly, competitive atmosphere or introducing your son or daughter to a practice range for the first time, the golf course remains a truly unique place; not to mention the health benefits which come from being outdoors.”
Walking a golf course leads to better health. Anyone looking for a moderately paced, cardiovascular workout will benefit by walking nine or 18 holes designed to work with the natural undulations of the land. A recent msn.com article cited additional benefits of walking, including lowering the risk of Type 2 diabetes, reducing stress, preventing heart disease and decreasing the need for medication.
“A course can also be used for other activities which benefit a community, including trails for jogging and cross-country skiing or concert space,” Larsen said in the most recent issue of By Design, the definitive source of information for individuals and organizations seeking best practices in golf course design. “The practice range at a course is a great place to bring in a portable movie screen. A course manager or owner who invites area residents for an evening’s entertainment under the stars may find they will return for a lesson or round of golf.”
For additional information on the Value of the Golf Course, visit www.asgca.org, call ASGCA at (262) 786-5960 or email info@asgca.org. By Design is available free of charge to anyone wishing to receive the electronic publication each quarter by completing the form at http://www.tudor-rose.co.uk/bydesign/home.html.

Getting to be that time again!!
The clock has been pushed forward an hour, the weather is starting to turn warmer, and people have been spotted dusting off their golf clubs.
What does all this mean?
It’s time to play some GOLF in Missouri! No matter what part of the state you may live in or visit, we have some wonderful golf courses right in our own back yard. And with recent economic challenges, now is the perfect time to take advantage of some great deals.
Packages you may find include a round of golf with a cart, range balls, and either breakfast or lunch. The normal rate for a round of golf with a cart and range balls is usually in the $40 to $50 range, but some packages are extending that offer to as many as four people for the low price of $50. The best way to find deals is to check out the Web site of a course you’re interested in or to look through your local newspaper.
Don’t let these great deals pass you by because they may not be around for long. It’s time for you and your buddies to hit the links for the day or weekend. Some of the best golfing times are in the spring, so let’s all get out there, and I look forward to seeing you on the first tee.
