Golf anyone?

A company from the south of Brazil, Jat Engenharia, has developed a really neat real-estate project called Florianópolis Village Golf Resort. Besides the professionally designed 18-hole golf course, it will have a ritzy hotel, a trendy spa, and a residential housing complex.

Golf has been growing in popularity in Brazil, but is still reserved for the elite -- due to extremely high green fees, small amount of courses, and the restrictive cost of purchasing clubs and other imported golf equipment - which most often list for 3 times the US price.

The golf resort will be tucked between the mountains and beach at the island's southern tip. They are looking to have the hotel administered by Marriot or a similar hotelier, and the club will also have tennis courts, swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, restaurants, bars, game rooms, complete fitness center, event center with capacity for 1000 people, and of course --  a helipad.



Unfortunately for golf and investment fans, this project is on hold until the government gives its approval.

  2. Golf is a difficult game to master and you need to concentrate on the old saying "Practice makes perfect" to get to a reasonable standard of play. This involves a dedicated, patient and focused approach to the intricate details of swing, balance and gripping of the golf club. Lots of beginners in the game start by buying themselves some lessons from the local golf club pro, which can end up costing a fortune before you see any real benefit. Some go down the route of buying online golf games and training videos so that they can copy the methods that are recommended. A more common sense approach is to examine the basic faults that beginners experience in detail. When the problems are analysed and broken down into easy to follow, logical correctional steps, fixes to most of the problems become a reality very quickly. This prevents people from becoming frustrated and keeps them playing at a standard that makes the whole golfing experience an enjoyable one. Golfing faults and fixes provides some useful tips to solving some of the more common problems... Golf Matsuyama
