Featured Golf Destination - Sawgrass Marriott
www.SawgrassMarriott.com
Official Site - Sawgrass Marriott Resort & Spa. Experience the perfect convergence of sun, sand, and golf - at the Sawgrass Marriott Resort & Spa. Newly renovated in 2006, our resort offers 5 championship courses - including the famed PLAYERS Championship Course at TPC Sawgrass.

THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. Ranked as #5 among Golf Magazine's "Top 100 Courses You Can Play," this TPC Sawgrass Golf Course is the home of THE PLAYERS Championship in March, which hosts an elite international field of past champions including Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Fred Couples, Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh. Treacherous and sand waste areas, watery oppositions on every hole, and Scottish link style bunkers are signatures of this famed par-72 course.
Dye's Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass. The newest challenge at Sawgrass, fashioned in the grand tradition of the Tournament Players Club as a tough complement to THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. Water comes into play on 6,838 yards along 18 holes, while fairways filled with hills and valleys create additional challenges.
Sawgrass Country Club. Ranked among the top 25 best resort courses by Golf Digest. Marriott golfers encounter water on 24 of the 27 holes throughout the medley of challenging nines stretched over 10,340 yards. The 7,072-yard, par-72 East/West rotation has earned the time-honored distinction as "the original Sawgrass."
Ponte Vedra Country Club. Teeming with natural wildlife, Ponte Vedra is a short, tight course featuring water on every hole and requiring straight tee shots by great iron players. The 13th hole — a 378-yard, par-4 straightaway — necessitates the fiercest water negotiation. Roughs punctuate the right fairway of this Jacksonville golf course, and a lake ribbons along the left from the tee to skirt the front of a shallow, two-tiered green with a bunkered elevation.
Marsh Landing Country Club. Another Ed Seay design, this Sawgrass golf course is often likened to a 6,841-yard nature preserve. Imaginative routing of the nines has created two visually contrasting personalities — the front nine, which weaves through pockets of sequestered Intracoastal marshes and is dotted will tall timbers — and the back nine carved from even thicker lagoons threaded with tidal marshes.

While golf does require skill and technique, it is still meant to be enjoyed and the experience should be relaxing. If you get angry over bad shots or you find that you are not enjoying the game, you should back up and re-evaluate your reasons for playing the game. Try to look at things from a new perspective. It is a game that tests your skill - but it should not test your patience!

Choose your golf aids carefully. A great deal of money can be wasted on aids, courses, and videos that turn out to not be any help at all. When possible, buy used aids, courses, and videos. Save your golfing money for more important things - like clubs, balls, and tees! Used clubs aren't very good - used training equipment usually works quite well.

Golf is great exercise. Riding in a golf cart defeats that purpose though. Walk, don't ride! Save the cart for the days when you really are too old to walk a short distance - take advantage of the exercise that you will get by walking from one tee to the next, and take the time to actually enjoy the walk!...read more >>
