Would you like to make magical vacation memories at Walt Disney World Resort? All there is to do is find a travel agent who has a a license to sell Disney?s ?Magic Your Way? vacations and tell him/her what you want. Your package will include all the information for your Walt Disney World trip.

Save Money With Vacation Packages

There are ways to save money by getting room only and package discounts at select Disney hotels. Special discount codes can be researched on internet sites or by calling 407-W-DISNEY and asking about discount offerings. Most travel agents that specialize in Disney specials will have access to these special ?mouse discounts?. On occasion you must pay a deposit of one night when you book your stay with Disney. Never the less, some dates may be blacked out but for a impressive discount, who cares?

Using A Travel Agent

Working with travel agents is easy and it is no cost to you to use them. Disney travel agent can help you decide on all the ins and outs of planning a Disney?s ?Magic Your Way? vacation package at Walt Disney World Resort. Search for a travel agency that is trained in selling Disney vacation plans and is an ?Authorized Disney Vacation Planner.? A travel agent will give you his/her entire attention and the best deals that you can get.

Tips on Choosing an Agent

Use an agent who will send your money directly to Disney. On that note, make your check out to Disney and not to the agent. Sadly, a few families have lost their deposit by working with questionable agents.

Pay for your trip with a credit card. This gives you buyer protection in case something happens.

Discount Information

Discounted ?Room Only? rates are presented on specific dates and at certain resort properties. You can save up to 35% on a number of Disney World properties.

Bounce Back Discounts are available to you when you check out from your current Walt Disney World Resort vacation. The idea is to get you to book your next Walt Disney World visit while on the property. You have to make the reservation before you check out but if you don?t have a ?Bounce Back? flyer in your room, check with the ‘in house’ channel or ask at the hotel front desk.

Florida residents are mailed special discount offers throughout the year.

?Florida Neighbors? discounts are available to residents of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.

Value Season

Walt Disney World repeatedly change the dates of Value Season and the number of days in the season for each level of resort rooms. Check with your agent for details ? going to Disney during the value season not only saves money but can help you see more attractions due to the lower crowd levels.

Tickets and Passes

Of course you will want to order your tickets ahead so that you won?t be spending valuable time standing in line at the theme parks or water parks.

Discount tickets are regularly attainable from brokers who buy the tickets so they can offer them as a premium when selling condos or apartments in the area. Don?t spend your vacation time listening to a lengthy sales pitch for buying a property you probably don?t want and can?t afford.

When selecting your ticket consider the number of days you will be staying at Walt Disney World Resorts and select accordingly. For multiple day visits it is favored that you purchase the ?no expiration? option as well as the ?park hopper? option. Add a ?Fun and more? option for things like golf, Disney Quest or a water park.

Enjoy Full Fun Without Paying A Full Price

There is no sense to pay full price for a Walt Disney World Resort ‘Magic Your Way’ family vacation when you can buy great discount offers that will make your trip cost less. You might even save enough to be able to spend a more time visiting Disney.

Introduction

As I stated at the end of Part I we are now going to discuss the Numero Uno place to waste time on a golf course and the methods to do so are almost to numerous to mention ?The Green.?

Before we get started on Part II I think it would be a good idea to revisit the extreme scenario I outlined in Part I of this article.

Been There ? Seen That

Ever seen this scenario?  Par 3, the foursome in front of you has three players on the green one in the bunker. The gentleman in the bunker was the last off the tee so now he?s the last to get to the bunker. The 3 players on the green are standing around talking as bunker player gets his sand wedge and heads into the sand-trap, thinks about how to play the shot. No problem except all he gets is ball, no sand, so ball flies over the green into the bunker on the other side of the green. The other 3 duffisses laugh, and continue to converse. Bunker player now rakes the first bunker, walks to the other side of the green, hits lands barely on the green so now he is still ?away?. Bunker dude rakes again starts onto the green and then realizes that he forgot his putter. The 3 dummies continue to lolly-gag around and make fun of the sand genius. Made a mess of this one Duffis they yell at him.  So he now putts and comes up 6 inches short and of course marks his ball!! Now the other 3, one by one, read their putts, line up their putts, hit their putts, miss their putts, mark their balls and start all over again. These are the same guys who go ape when a Player Assistant/Ranger ask them to speed up a little and then get to the clubhouse and complain about the pace of play. Einstein did not play golf but he must have had these guys in mind when he defined insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!

Why is the green so problematic? Easy to answer:

1.36 strokes of Par (that?s 50% or more) on every 18 hole golf course are on the green.
2.Most golf course designers protect the greens (i.e. sand traps, pot bunkers, water, etc)
3.It?s where some people insist on scoring the hole (don?t ask me why maybe it?s Alzheimer?s)
4.Money, Money, Money (I?ll explain later)


So let?s get started>
Around the Green (Not putting that?s a separate subject)

The very first mistake many people make around the green has to do with Golf Carts.  Surprised! Here is an example of what I see all too often.  Cart path is on left side of the fairway/green and next tee is at 10 o?clock in relation to the green.  Golfer 1 lands on the green Golfer 2 lands in the right front bunker. They drive the cart up and park it just in front of the right hand bunker (probably closer to the green than they should regardless), Golfer 1 grabs his putter and heads for the green Golfer 2 grabs a sand wedge and heads into the bunker (sans rake). Golfer 2 blasts out onto the green, realizes he did not bring the rake so now here walks through the bunker to get the rakes making even more of a mess and proceeds to rake the trap.  When he finishes he goes back to the cart puts his sand wedge in his bag, grabs his putter and heads to the green. When they finish putting instead of going off the back, where they should have parked, they have to come directly back toward the fairway then drive around the green to gat out of the way. All these tow idiots had to do was have Golfer 1 drop Golfer 2 off at the bunker with both his sand wedge AND putter and drive around to the back side of the green. Remember that this is supposed to be thinking mans game!!

Always leave carts and clubs in the direction of the next tee. I see people do the right thing with the cart then when the come onto the green after chipping on or coming out of a trap they leave short irons on the ground by the front of the green

On The Greens

Watch the Pro?s on the putting green you will see again see the good, the bad and the ugly.  The good ones like Tiger, Phil, Fuzzy and Fred Couples all spend the time on the green examining their upcoming putt even while another player is preparing to putt. Even after the other player has putted they watch that putt closely to gain information about speed, break and grain. The best putters have a short pre-putt routine that never varies. On the other hand Jim Furyk dove me insane when he was doing the three examine, three address five minute putting routine, face it even TV stopped showing him getting ready to put because it was to painful to watch. Unfortunately watching the Pro?s has also contributed a great deal to slow down the game for us regular golfers. We are not playing in threesomes, don?t have experienced professional caddies with us and we are not putting to win the US or British Opens You?ve seen the guys I?m talking about waiting until it is their turn to play, then walking around the putt as though they were putting to be 1st or second where the difference is 5,000. Ready Golf on the Green is getting ready to putt before it is your turn! Emulate the good you see not the bad, line up your putt while other players are putting, so they’re ready to putt when it’s their turn.

Ready Golf also means finishing the hole. If your ball is not in someone else’s line, and if the player does not have to spend a lot of time surveying the putt, they should request to continue and putt out. Said another way if you miss a putt by one or two feet, can stand where you?re not on another player?s line, make the putt don?t mark the ball and wait for another turn. Now if it is a difficult putt and you think you need extra time to survey it then mark it. But again start examining it while the others are putting.

Farthest From the Hole

Ready Golfers can still play in accordance with the strict rules of golf on the green meaning that he/she who is farthest from the hole putts first. But in Ready Golf, the person farthest from the hole should be ready to play first. There are, on the other hand, a few common sense exceptions.

Say someone hits their shot and goes from one side of the green to the other or actually rolls off the green, common sense would dictate that another player who may be closer to the hole should hit before that provided the other player is ready. For example: One of the members of a foursome?s  putt rolls off the green into a sand trap still farthest from the hole, the need to use common sense and putt rather than stand around watching the player in the trap walk back to his cart to retrieve a sand wedge so they can play the next shot. Play should continue until that player is ready to make the next shot. Nothing is more painful to watch than three players on the green waiting while the fourth player goes and gets another club, hits then cleans up the sand, walks to the ball, surveys the putt and then plays.

A players ball lands way beyond the green on the second shot, they are still farthest from the hole, but the players closer to the hole who are ready, because the are adhering to the concept of Ready Golf, should hit first to speed up play.

Replacing the Pin

What?s so hard about this is beyond me!! The fist person in the hole should immediately go get the pin.  He or she should hold the pin by the top enclosing the flag so it can not flap around and distract another player while they are putting.  By doing this as soon as the last person in is finished he/she can put the pin in and exit the green.

Money, Money, Money

Want to see painfully slow golf around a green get $ $ $ involved! Understand again that at least half the round at par is played on the green so when you add betting, Nassau?s, $ $ per hole, presses, automatic presses, etc. into the mixed you are looking at a train wreck in the making.  If you can?t afford to lose then don?t bet.  If you want to make a lot of money playing golf go join a tour there are lots of them. Enough said!

Between the Holes

Where Should Fill in the Scorecard

Leave the green and green area: It drives me crazy to see four guys standing in the middle of the green figuring out their strokes on the hole while people are waiting in the fairway, or doing it sitting in the cart on the cart path beside the green. Leave the green go to the next tee box and write down you scores.  Maybe they all have Alzheimer?s and will forget before they arrive at the next tee 20 seconds for when they leave the green!!

Comfort Stations

When you get to the ?Comfort Station? if you don?t need it do not stop. If only one member of a foursome needs to stop then at least two players should go directly to the next tee and hit

The Beverage Cart

This is a wonderful invention and a cause of great delay on a golf course.  Here again it is a matter of using brain power. On a good day at Reunion we have 6 beverage carts roaming our courses, one on each nine. Nobody is going to go thirsty, or run out provided the player?s brains are engaged. Know ahead of time what you want, who is buying. Think about only having the beverage cart stop once per nine holes (stock-up). Of course alcoholic beverages do wonders on improving the pace of play particularly on the inward nine or even better on the afternoon replay round.

Here in Florida most of the beverage carts are staffed by attractive young women (a marketing thing, ya think) so to add to the inherent delay associated with a beverage cart when young men start thinking
with their libido instead of there brain it is delays become even more pronounced. I used live on the first hole of a very popular vacation oriented golf course and cannot tell you how many times I watched guys try to put the make on the ?Cart Girl? while other players were standing on the tee. Understand that was the first tee so you can bet that every time after that that she came around they did the exact same thing.

In Summary

?Get to your ball as soon as possible and be ready to hit.

?Ready Golf is a series of small things done incorrectly that contribute to slow play.

?Play from the appropriate tees for your skill level.

?Don?t travel in packs.

?Think about your next shot while traveling to you ball.

?Carry extra tees, ball markers and a couple of balls in your pockets so you don’t have to return to your golf cart to get them when needed.

?Hit provisional balls if you think your ball may be lost OB or unplayable.

?Limit your search for lost balls. (faa-gat-about-it)

?Socialize in the clubhouse not on the course, have fun enjoy the company and play golf on the course.

?Leave carts away from the green in the direction to the next tee.

?Leave the green and post to your scorecard at the next tee

?A good pace of play will increases enjoyment of the game, a slow pace of play will diminish the experience.

?Keep up with the group in front of you at all times.

?When it’s your turn to putt, be prepared to step right up and take the stroke.

?Ready Golf means being ready to play, not playing when you’re ready.  Ready Golf isn’t about rushing your shots it’s about being ready to take your shot when it’s your turn, and behaving intelligently on the course.

Are you one of the millions of tourists who will travel to Hawaii this year? Many visitors are repeat vacationers who enjoyed the sunbathing, surfing and culture so much that they return as often as they can. Or maybe you are planning your first Hawaiian vacation. No matter which type of traveler you are, many great all inclusive vacation packages are available for the Hawaiian Islands.

History of the Hawaiian Islands

Discovered in 1778 by British explorer James Cook, they were originally known as ?The Sandwich Islands,? named after James Cook’s financier the 4th Earl of Sandwich John Montagu. From 1894 until 1898, Hawaii was an independent territory. In 1898 it became a US territory and was still a US territory during the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. It did not become a state until 1959, making it the most recent state to be accepted into the United States of America.

Hawaii is located in the Pacific Ocean. There are over a 100 islands that comprise this volcanic island chain that is known as Hawaii. Hawaii (the Big Island), Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Lanai, Molokai, Kahoolawe, and Niihau make up the most popular islands and are known as the eight main islands.

There are over a million permanent residents of Hawaii. Many of the residents are bilingual speaking both English and the Hawaiian Language. The Hawaiian Language descended from the Polynesian dialects. Hawaii offers a unique culture with a blend of North American, Asian, and local influences.

Weather

Hawaii’s tropical climate is less humid than the typical tropical environment, making it a great place to vacation. The high temperature is usually in the 80′s all year round. There are really only two seasons; the dry season runs from May until October and the wet season is from October until May. During these months you may encounter some rain storms, but even then, they are usually just few passing showers and storms. During the winter months this tropical paradise can also get some snow but it is usually located in the peaks of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa which are both on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Kauaii’s Mount Wai?ale?ale also has the distinction of having the 2nd highest rainfall per year in the world averaging a whopping 460 inches annually which is over 38 FEET of rainfall each year!

Hawaiian vacation

One of Hawaii’s main industries is tourism. Many travelers each year visit to enjoy the weather, culture, and overall relaxed atmosphere. Because most of the natives of Hawaii speak English, American guests are able to communicate in their own language, making it a wonderful place to visit without the challenges of a language barrier.

Hawaii offers many wonderful activities for tourists to enjoy such as snorkeling, surfing, scuba diving, golf, and whale watching. Some travelers also enjoy dining on the local cuisine, watching the entertainment based on native culture, and taking tours of the surrounding areas.

When to Visit

With Hawaii’s consistently warm tropical weather, it is a great place to visit any time of the year. During the winter the nighttime lows can reach into the 60′s so pack a light jacket or sweater, but the highs are still in the 80′s so you will be able to wear those summer clothes you packed.
While in Hawaii, many guests swim in the waters of the Pacific Ocean. The water here is so warm it can feel like bathwater. And guests do not have to run across the beach to their towel to dry off because of the warm sun will do the drying.

With many all inclusive vacation packages to help plan a trip to any of the Hawaiian Islands, potential visitors are sure to find a deal that will cater directly to their unique tastes.

The beautiful tropical island of Phuket, Thailand is known for its pristine stretch of white-sand beaches, warm hospitality, mouth-watering food, exhilarating water sports and pulsating night life. However, Phuket is fast becoming a prime golf holiday destination and is reputedly has some of the best golf courses in Southeast Asia. It is, indeed, the Golf Capital of Asia with its more than 150 golf courses countrywide.

Golf enthusiasts troop to Phuket to play a round or two at the famed Blue Canyon Country Club noted for hosting the Johnnie Walker Classics same as the Honda Classic Tournaments.

If you have booked a lazy vacation somewhere in the Andaman Sea, consider lugging your golf clubs to hit the green at the Mission Hill Golf Resort and Blue Canyon Country Club. If you are hoping to experience the cool mountains of Northern Thailand, there are greens available.

The Thais have long been advocates of golf. In the early 20th century the Royal Family established a summer palace in Hua Hin. Since most of the Thai royalties and upper class Thais built summer homes in the same locality, O.J. Robinson, a Scottish course designer, designed and built an 18-hole golf course for the Royalties and their friends. From then on, golf has been an integral part of Thai pastime and relaxation.

Golf courses in Thailand have very reasonable rates as the USD goes a long way in Thailand. A usual package includes hotel accommodation, green fees, caddy fees, carts and shuttle to and from hotel, airport and golf course. A Westerner might find it amusing that caddies in Thailand are females. The lady caddies are knowledgeable in insider tips. They could very well give advice on the type of iron or wood to use in a particular hole or the hidden slope or curve in an apparently straight course.

Note that golf courses in Thailand were all planned by international designers such as Gary Player, Robert Trend Jones, Nick Faldo, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer of course!

A golfing holiday in Bangkok, Phuket or Chiang Mai is a great idea. It would be a novel experience to hit the greens of Bangkok with its famed waterfall hole. Why not try the Thana City Course which is reputedly the most difficult course in Thailand.

For non-golfing companions, the entertainment and recreation facilities offered by the country clubs will keep happily occupied. For newbie, driving ranges with pro instructors are integrated with the golf courses.
