I want to work at a golf course?

Makenna asked:


I am only 15 but I don’t want to get the job til I’m 16, which will be in the early fall.
The head PGA Pro there, who is also the manager of the course gives me golf lessons and he is good friends with my dad. My dad really wants me to get a job and thats where I want to work, a golf course. So… would it be wrong to ask the guy who gives me my lessons to help me get a job there, or to give me a job?
I don’t know, its confusing to explain. I hope you understand it

Thanks!

An Adventure to Abu Gallum and the Blue Hole in Dahab

Monday, April 12th, 2010

glenne baxter asked:


Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt offers many excellent organised trips and tours and one of the best in my opinion is visiting Ras Abu Gallum and the Blue Hole. This adventure can be arranged from hotels, but they will charge a commission for this privilege, making your trip more expensive.

The best solution to this is book your trip from one of the many tour agents found around Sharm, such as Naama Bay. At Naama bay there are so many selling this trip you can shop around to find the best deal. Do look at the Itenary of the trip that’s suits your needs as these trips do slightly vary from each tour operator.

The Abu Gallum and the Blue Hole trip only goes on certain days so if you only have a week in sharm its advisable to book early at the start of your holiday. The maximum party you will travel with is 6 to 8 persons as this is a comfortable number to get in a jeep.

This is an all day adventure so it will be best to prepare before you go, You will need to take a light bag or rucksack this is for your water and a towel, Remember do take plenty of water with you as temperatures do exceed to over 45c in summer. You will also need a snorkel kit, flippers, mask and snorkel. If you do not have your own you will be taken to a place were you can hire them at the start of your trip.

This is an adventure trip so ladies please were suitable footwear and not high heels.

The trip starts off early in the morning from your hotel or apartment by jeep, if your lucky you will be the last the pickup so you won‘t be travelling all around sharms hotels for picking up other adventurers.

You and your party of travellers head towards Nabq bay just before Nabq bay you will take a turn off the road and into the Sinai desert.

The Sinai desert is a region of incredible Beauty, The vast plains of the desert and the ever changing colours of the mountains make this a most memorable experiences. This is also home to the traditional Bedouin people. The Bedouins live and work in sharm some on the cruise boats and some as taxi drivers, in fact they will put there hands to anything in sharm. As you travel through the Sinai you will see the small villages and settlements of the Bedouins.

If you are ahead with time you may stop to take pictures of the Sinai landscape. An hour or so into to your trip you arrive at Ras Abu gallum Protectorate, this beautiful area stretches 400 km down the coastline between Dahab and Neweiba. Here you will park the jeep at the beach and prepare yourself for your camel ride, the camel will take you to the Blue Hole although the jeep will take you if your not sure about riding on a camel.

The camel ride is an excellent experience, the ride down the coastline of Ras Abu Gallum takes around 45 minutes, depending on how fast your camel goes that is. As you reach the Blue Hole be careful when the camel crouches down to let you off, the saddle has a hard handle and it can hurt your back if your not careful like I have experienced, put your bag behind you for protection. The camel driver the one who leads the camel will probably demand money off you for the trip, the ride is in with the price but you can give him baksheesh a tip if you want, 5 LE is enough.

Once off the camel you will be at Ras Abu Gallum’s most frequently visited spot the famous Blue Hole divers from all over the world have come to dive here. It has an 80 meter drop and is surrounded by beautiful coral reefs and many different species of fish. Many divers have lost there lives here due to hidden caverns and not managing there breathing apparatus properly. But it is quite safe for snorkelling.

You will have an hours snorkel at the Blue Hole before lunch. Lunch is served in the Bedouin beach restaurant usually on the menu is fish which is freshly caught on the day and served up with a special home made rice dish.

Here you may see Bedouin children selling little gifts, nice to have as a little reminder of your adventure to Ras Abu Gallum and the Blue Hole.

After you have rested for a while you can have another snorkel in the Blue Hole. Then its time to leave Ras Abu Gallum and the Blue Hole and head towards Dahab city.

Here you are dropped off at the beach resort village which was mostly visited by Hippies in years gone past mainly because of its chilled back atmosphere. Dahab is now becoming a bit more upmarket now with the arrival of 4 and 5 star hotels and good restaurants Hand made souvenirs made by the locals are worth a buy. Dahab city certainly has not lost its charm.

After your visit to Dahab its back to the jeep to head back home to Sharm El Sheikh. You do get taken back to your hotel or apartment. The Ras Abu Gallum and the Blue Hole adventure starts around 8:00 in the morning and ends around 5:00 in the afternoon and the trip is quite strenuous.

Green Building Projects in Jackson Hole

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Caroline Kelm asked:


Whether it is residential or commercial, the trend to build green in Jackson Hole, WY is growing at a rapid pace. There are many homes and commercial developments aspiring to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification in Teton County. The LEED green building rating system is a measurable tool that is evaluated by a third party in regards to sustainability and performance. The four different levels of green that you can achieve include: certified, gold, silver, and platinum levels.

 At Teton Village, the newly built Hotel Terra is tracking to receive silver LEED certification which will place it in the elite group of the 5 LEED certified hotels in the United States and the first LEED certified hotel in the state of Wyoming. The hotel’s green features include: low or no VOC paint, dual flush toilets, maximizing use of natural light, organic mattresses and bedding, and many more.

Another green project is Pine Glades, located near Snow King in the Town of Jackson. This high-end, townhome community is being built with environmental preservation in mind as all of the units will be utilizing only five out of the property’s seventeen acres leaving the remaining twelve as open space. One of the main goals of the project is to remove as few trees from the site as possible.  They will be accomplishing this by having the road which takes you through the development located underneath a portion of each structure.

In nearby Victor, Idaho, five homes in the Mountainside Village community were the first to be LEED for Homes Certified in the state of Idaho. In 2006, the Mountainside Village neighborhood received the Idaho Smart Growth Award in addition to being the pilot neighborhood for the US Green Building Council’s LEED for Neighborhood Development program. This community includes features such as walkable streets, bike paths and a convenient mixed-use center.

All of these projects are examples of how green building is on the rise. In a country where our homes our responsible for 21% of our nation’s greenhouse gas emissions, building green can greatly help stop the causes of climate change. Not only does it help protect our environment, but it also lowers energy use in addition to protecting our health. The green train is coming and it seems that Jackson Hole, Wyoming is getting on board.

How I drive the golf ball more on the sweet spot and not the heel?

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
golf lessons
ConnorWilhem3 asked:


I put some impact tape on my driver and I consistently hit the golf ball more towards the heel. I shoot in the high 80’s and have taken lessons for this problem. Video tape shows my hands pushing out slightly (towards the direction I’m facing). The results are pull hooks or outright shanks. Obviously lessons aren’t helping.

Any drills or tips would be great!

Golfing Lessons ?

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Sangy . asked:


A young woman had been taking golf lessons.

She had just started playing her first round of golf when she suffered a bee sting.

Her pain was so intense that she decided to return to the clubhouse for help and to complain.

Her golf pro saw her come into the clubhouse and asked, “Why are you back in so early? What’s wrong?”

“I was stung by a bee”, she said.

“Where”, he asked.

“Between the first and second hole”, she replied.

He nodded knowingly and said, “Then your stance is too wide.”

When it comes to golf lessons, which of the following would be best gift?

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010
golf lessons
Mrs. Duck asked:


My husband has golfed on and off for a few years, and is still very much a beginner. I would like to purchase him lessons for our anniversary. A 50 minute session with a PGA qualified instructor is $65. A set of 5 lessons is $260. They also have a package that is $130, where you play 9 holes with the instructor (but it doesn’t specify whether or not this is private or with a group.) Which package would you prefer?

I’m thinking of doing the 5 package deal or a combination, maybe one 50 minute private lesson and then the 9-hole deal. I would like to do two 50 minutes and the 9-hole deal, but I can’t afford it.

Is it worth it to do just one 50 minute private lesson if the 9-hole lesson isn’t private?

Thanks!

Emily T asked:


It had to be on the 15th hole to win the truck. Just curious - we are still amazed! He’s only golfed three times this year!
It had to be on the 15th hole to win the truck. Just curious - we are still amazed! He’s only golfed three times this year! To answer questions - we actually get to pick out a car we like - doesn’t have to be a truck - we just get a credit for the amount of the truck. Yes he can play golf whenever he wants - always has - always will! Thanks for some insight!
