We would like to join the golfing community in celebrating Jason Day's record-setting P.G.A. Championship victory on Sunday, capturing his first major title and holding off two-time 2015 major winner Jordan Spieth.

The company that would be fun to create is “Golfer’s Paradise,” in which the mission is “To provide a one stop shop for beginner, amateur, and professional golfers of all ages by providing all necessary supplies for a round golf in a family friendly environment.” As an avid golfer, I have always been frustrated that I need to go to several places to either golf or get the necessary equipment to play. I have to go places such a Dick’s Sporting Goods to get tees, golf balls, cleats, etc. At a course
Throughout my practicum with the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, I have been able to network with three professionals such as Jim Finney, Mario Conte, and Tom McLaughlin. Jim Finney is my tournament director who I directly work with and live with along with the rest of my operations team. I think Jim Finney could benefit me in the future because he has a variety of networking relationships with golf managers throughout the country. Also, I think Jim Finney could benefit me in the future from his popularity
Golf vs. Baseball There are many sports that require a number of things from the athletes playing them. Things such as intense workouts, individual effort, team continuity, and etc. are very big in most sports. Some of these athletics will require more of a specific task than others. Baseball and golf are the perfect examples to show how these two, somewhat similar, sports have a vastly different look at how to get the best results. The sport of golf requires a lot out of a player physically, but
