  • Torrey Pines South
    [Travel-and-Leisure:Golf-Travel-and-Resorts] Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California sits on the cliffs above the Pacific and the views and vegetation are spectacular. The South course, our target today, is a 7,607 yard Par 72 with a slope rating of 143. We'll see holes with wind off the ocean, maybe some fog, rain, and even sunshine. Get ready for this one 'cause it doesn't get too much better than this.


  • The Black Course at Bethpage
    [Travel-and-Leisure:Golf-Travel-and-Resorts] The Black course at Bethpage in Farmingdale, New York is a 7,065 yard Par 71, with a rating of 75.4 and a slope rating of 144. "The Black Course is an extremely difficult course which we recommend only for highly skilled golfers." That's the wording on the famous sign near the first hole of the Black course. But let's not succumb to fear and we'll bravely examine five or six of the best holes here. Let's get started.


  • Spyglass Hill
    [Travel-and-Leisure:Golf-Travel-and-Resorts] Spyglass Hill in Pebble Beach, California is 6,862 yards from the longest tees. The course has a slope rating of 148 and one of the most scenic settings in the continental US. Each hole is named after a character in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. The myth is that Stevenson wandered through the area when writing Treasure Island. Let's get to the course.


  • The Boulders North Course
    [Travel-and-Leisure:Golf-Travel-and-Resorts] If you haven't golfed in the desert Southwest before, you're in for a real treat. At the Boulders, the green of the fairway grass against the browns of the surrounding Sonoran Desert and the great view of Black Mountain in the distance may distract you from the task at hand. The North Course is an 18 hole, 6811 yard, Par 72 beauty with a 137 slope.


  • The Royal Kannapali Resort
    [Travel-and-Leisure:Golf-Travel-and-Resorts] I used to wonder why people would fly for 12 hours from the east coast of the U.S. to get to Hawaii when there are so many islands that are closer and easier to get to. Then, I was convinced to try it and spent a week on Maui. Boy did I feel silly! All it takes to justify the long trip is one sunset on the beach on Maui. It really is one of the most beautiful spots in the world and there's a lot to do besides golf, but golf is why we're here, so let's get to it.


  • The Baltusrol Golf Club
    [Travel-and-Leisure:Golf-Travel-and-Resorts] The Baltusrol Golf Club in northern New Jersey at the foot of Baltusrol Mountain has been in operation since 1895.

  • What's an Autoresponder?
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Autoresponders] An autoresponder is a program that automates a series of emailing, name capture, and list management tasks that you would otherwise need to (but likely could not) do "manually". It's pretty easy to see why you need an autoresponder if you just imagine yourself with a list of say, 1000 email addresses.


  • How to Build an Email List in No Time Flat
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:List-Building] In case you haven't heard, people only buy things from people they know and trust.

  • Reclaim Your Brain (Or Don't Lose it at All)
    [Health-and-Fitness:Mind-Body-Spirit] If you're of a certain age, and have started to wonder if your memory is slipping, you're not alone. I'm wondering the same thing. Every little slip that happens I think...is this the beginning of something serious? Well, it probably isn't but it does get you thinking.


  • Throw Away Your Cell Phone!
    [Communications:Mobile-Cell-Phone] I have always found cell phones (including my own) to be a bit annoying. I also suspect I'm not alone in this feeling. I can easily remember life before cell phones and I don't recall feeling out of touch or arranging my day to always be near a phone booth, remember them?


  • Dog Bites Chicken
    [Pets:Dogs] If you have a dog, you've likely faced the "dog toy problem". You start out with cute little fuzzy things that your dog tears to shreds in less than five minutes.

    [Communications:Video-Conferencing] I had a web conferencing experience the other day that started my head spinning. I support a number client-server applications at a large corporation, and we needed a particular application upgraded. The software vendor set up a Web conference, I accessed the conference page through a web browser on my computer, and the vendor proceeded to upgrade the software, after I allowed him to take control of my computer's desktop.
