For the uninitiated, thoughts of a golf trip Across the Pond may automatically bring visions of playing deviously tricky links courses in a howling wind, on the cold and damp (if not rain-drenched) courses of Northern Europe.

There are golf travel cases made of leather, wood and even hard plastic. Golfers and other enthusiasts have the choice of picking out the one best suited for their needs. If they barely travel out of town, and just need a case to help transport the clubs a few hundred kilometers, they might choose the leather bag. Whereas, someone who go across the country frequently, on work or otherwise, might opt for the much more sturdy cases. There are people with motorbikes, some with small sized cars, and with luxurious cars. They all have different needs, and will require a case that lets them load it on the vehicle and move around. www.pr-inside.com

ANNIKA SORENSTAM: I talked to her when we were here last time, and shes enjoying it. Shes doing a good job at "The Golf Channel. " Shes involved in a lot of things outside the golf course, junior golf, etc. I think shes even traveling more now than she did the last few years on the Tour. So she said, "Im keeping busier than ever. " And I remember her saying that you think when you step away or retire, you think youre going to have so much time, and all of a sudden she goes, "I have less time. " So I dont know what to say. I dont have any time today, so I hope it doesnt go that way for me. www.cybergolf.com

The Lake County Amateur Golf Circuit celebrated its 15th season of operating competitive golf tournaments in Lake County. While occasionally criticized for using the same two venues for its 11 events, namely Buckingham and Adams Springs, it keeps plugging along year in and year out under the direction of its founders, Buckingham PGA professional Mark Wotherspoon and this columnist. As Ive often stated, its the only game in town, and in light of the current economy, it makes a lot more sense for someone to enter the Lake County Amateur rather than to travel to the Apple City Amateur (Watsonville) or the Roseville City Amateur during the last week of April. www.record-bee.com

By and large, disc golfers have borrowed the rules and language of traditional golf. A stroke in golf, for instance, is a throw in disc golf, but both kinds of golfers putt when they get close to the hole. Both kinds of golfers tally the number of strokes or throws it takes to complete the course, the fewer the better. Of course, a disc that averages eight inches in diameter wont fit into the traditional -inch golf hole, hence the "pole hole" - a basket suspended about 30 inches off the ground on a metal pole. Chains draped from the top of the pole send the disc skittering into the basket instead of bouncing off the pole. www.boston.com
