How Will Wall Street Affect Your Golf Plans?
I was reading today about how the financial meltdown may lead to a glut of empty and unfinished golf courses. Golf, generally considered to be a discretionary activity, is expected to take a hit as Americans cut their spending. Do you plan to cut down on the number of rounds you play because of the financial crisis? As for me, I will be playing golf for free, on my computer

Received this email today, thought WGT mavens would enjoy:
Brief Statistics
Stand proud you noble swingers of clubs and losers of balls….
A recent study found the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means, on average, golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind of makes you proud. Almost feel like a hybrid.

You can also play…or at least sort of play a Virtual Round at the Chateau Whistler Golf club in Whistler BC Canada…which I thought was cool. www.virtualwhistler.com
