The Verizon Heritage Classic is one of my favorite tournaments on the PGA TOUR for many reasons. The host course, Harbour Town Golf Links, is one of Pete Dye's best with very little undulation and each hole carved out of the tree-line marsh. The difficulty is off the tee because of super narrow landing areas where you may hit the fairway and still be blocked out by the trees. The approach shots are designed to reward precise distance control on iron shots, a shot that misses the three to 10 yard landing areas leaves a very dicey chip or long putt with a lot of slope. This event has a list of top level players as past champions due to a course that requires a golf game with few weaknesses to be successful. The scores are not low which once again proves that a course with a good design does not need to be 7,600 yards to be difficult. Harbour Town Golf Links is difficult but still enjoyable and I like that I don't wear out my 3 iron on approach shots.

It is spring time and in many places the grass is turning green and spring flowers are budding and blooming. It is possible to have your home or business lawn and landscape look as beautiful and well-kept as your favorite golf course. There are many "green" landscaping businesses now offering services including low-emission lawn maintenance and the use of beautiful native plants that need little water!
