2006-08-26 ARTICLE: Beach agrees to buy struggling golf course (The Virginian-Pilot / )

Our city council makes me sick. TPC, whos whole purpose in life is to manage a golf course, cant make money at it. So, the city council decides to bail them out, but wants to keep TPC to run it Diezel (Harpo) "thinks city officials can profit from the course because they arent bound to the strict quality standards that come with life as a TPC course.

2006-08-31 Early hunting for geese, doves, squirrels looks promising

Since 1993, Virginia has had a special September Canada goose hunting season, a time when sportsmen can go after resident geese. These are the birds that have decided to stay in Virginia year round rather than spend the energy to migrate. They have a preference for high-dollar habitat -- places like golf courses, parks, campuses of retirement homes and residential areas located on water features -- anywhere there is a combination of water and grass. When they make their home next to people they quickly can reach nuisance status.

2006-09-01 World Golf News - Golf 20/20 to analyze golfs impact on economies of U. S. states

The master framework will be completed in time for review by industry leaders at the Golf 20/20 conference and 31, and the Virginia report will be completed by the end of the year. Discussions are underway with several other states.

The first assessment and report to be developed within this framework will be for the state of Virginia, represented by the Virginia Golf Council, a statewide alliance of golf organizations.

The need for such reports was magnified in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, when golf in the Gulf Coast region was denied federal tax relief in the effort to rebuild, since golf was grouped with such businesses as massage and tattoo parlors. It is believed that had Louisiana and Mississippi had credible reports accurately quantifying the impact and importance of golf to the states economy, the outcome might have been different.

The Outer Banks has always been a popular destination for Hampton Roads golf enthusiasts, especially since the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel and the Chesapeake Expressway have made the area so accessible to Peninsula residents. The Outer Banks Golf Association lists six primary courses on its Web site, but The Carolina Club might be the most attractive to Peninsula residents looking for a day trip because its location trims anywhere from a half-hour to an hour off of your round trip compared with courses farther east.
