Using expertise gained through years of running golf shops that were on Golf World Business magazine’s list of “America’s 100 Best Golf Shops,” the new team reworked the two Sea Trail golf shops and upgraded the quality of products offered.
Other highlights during the team’s first year include:
The Brunswick County Chamber Of Commerce named Sea Trail its “Member Of The Year” for Sea Trail’s support of the Chamber in 2005.
North Carolina Magazine placed Sea Trail’s courses among the “Top 10 Favorite Courses — Leisure” in the state of North Carolina, the “Top 10 Favorite Courses — Best Value” in the state of North Carolina, and the “Top 5 Favorite Courses On The Coast.”
The recreational heart of Sea Trail is its three courses designed by Dan Maples, Rees Jones and Willard Byrd. Other amenities include a deluxe Swim & Fitness Center with indoor and outdoor pools and whirlpools, an on-staff licensed massage therapist, supervised children’s activities and Magnolia's Restaurant & Lounge. Sunset Beach, known for its extraordinary beauty and serenity, is a short drive east of Sea Trail. In addition, a huge variety of entertainment, shopping, nightlife and cultural opportunities are just south of Sea Trail along the Grand Strand.
Hoylake, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trevor Immelman withdrew from the British Open late Tuesday night to fly home to be with his wife, who gave birth to the couple's first child earlier than expected. The South African was a trendy pick this week as The Open Championship returned to Royal Liverpool for the first time since 1967. Immelman has fond memories of links golf at the highest level, finishing in a tie for 15th place last year at St. Andrews.
Prescott, AZ (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) July 19, 2006 -- Talking Rock’s Jay Morrish-designed championship golf course in Prescott, AZ will play host to the United States Golf Association (USGA) Amateur Sectional Qualifying Tournament on Monday, July 24 and Tuesday, July 25, 2006. This important tournament is one of the last available opportunities for Arizona golfers to qualify for the 106th U.S. Amateur Championship in August at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, MN. The qualifying tournament has no age restriction and is open to those with a USGA Handicap Index of 2.4 or lower. Talking Rock’s impressive 7,350-yard 18-hole course will prove to be an ideal location for tournament play with its understated classic design. Strategically placed bunkers and ample landing areas in the fairways and around the greens create a balance between risk and reward -- essentially leveling the playing field. This highly anticipated event is free and is open to the public.
“We are pleased to have been selected by the USGA to host this very important tournament and anticipate an exciting afternoon of golf,” said Jim Leisenring, PGA member and general manager of Talking Rock’s Prescott, Arizona golf course. “We’re eager to see how Arizona’s best players respond to this challenging championship course.”

MySportsbook.com: New College Football Clock Rules Examined
Coaches and bettors alike are desperate to make sense of the new time-keeping rules on the NCAA gridiron. One of the big stories to come out of the Ohio State-Texas clash last weekend was Texas coach Mack Brown's criticism of the NCAA's new clock rules that are intended to shorten the duration of college football games, therefore affecting college football betting.
"They scored with six minutes left and the game was over before we had a chance to do anything," Brown told ESPN.com. "I really hope whoever made these changes will go back and look them over."
Sure, it might be sour grapes; the Buckeyes thoroughly trounced the defending national champion Longhorns 24-7. However, Brown isn't alone in giving the changes their due thought. Bettors are also wondering about them, albeit for a completely different reason. Most experts agree that the changes will result in games being shortened by anywhere from 10 to 20 plays. The obvious consequence is lower scores, with more time rolling off the clock during changes of possession. (The Ohio State-Texas game flew well under the total of 52.)
According to research at the online sportsbook MySportsbook.com, more than 18 plays a game disappeared last weekend into thin air. That's a 10-percent reduction. In 2005, a typical game had 168.58 plays. For 2007 already, it's down to 150.26.
As a result, teams combined to gain an average of about 100 fewer yards a game last weekend versus the 2005 openers. Scoring was also down by about 4.5 points (attention Las Vegas sports lines).
Of course, oddsmakers were able to adjust to the changes before the season started. Proof of that came as the over went a balanced 8-9 at My Sportsbook on Saturday.
Other angles to consider:A shorter game should theoretically result in shorter lines. Whereas Team A might have been a 14-point favorite in a 168-play game (last year), if there are 10 percent less snaps in 2007, the line should also be reduced by 10 percent (to 13 or 12.5). Of course, this is an over-simplification of the matter, but something to keep in mind.
Less possessions means a better chance the game will be decided by three or seven points. For example, what might have been a 20-10 final score in 2005 may end at
17-10 in 2007. Granted, a 24-17 game last year might end at 21-17 these days, but the former - a three- or seven-point advantage being preserved as opposed to created - is the most likely scenario.
*UPDATE* - Sept. 25, 2007
New Clock Rules Boon for online bookmakers
By adjusting the time-keeping rules to shorten the duration of college football games, the NCAA hoped to make its product more enjoyable for the fans. While the NCAA's success in this regard is still up for debate, bookmakers couldn't be happier with the results.
"We are seeing a massive jump in college football betting," noted the MySportsbook.com management team. "With all the early Saturday games (12 a.m. ET) ending before the second wave begins (3:30 p.m. ET) - something that didn't always happen before the changes - bettors are now able to re-invest their winnings from the morning session in the afternoon games."
While not all bettors will choose to roll over their winnings, it doesn't take much for an impact to be seen on the bottom line. "Not all of the millions of dollars in morning payouts get re-bet. In fact, it's probably only 10 to 20 percent," noted the sportsbook management team. "Still, the increased football betting lines window will create a ton of growth for us over the course of the season."
