Planning Golf Events - 4 Amazing Golf Tournament Themes

When you are planning on hosting a golf event, there are a few issues you should keep in mind. Never forget the nature of audience for instance. Here are a few more tips to help you with your planning:

- What kind of people will you be inviting to participate in the event?
- What do you hope to achieve by holding this event?
- During which month are you planning on the tournament?
- What is the number of participants that you expect?

Any tournament is so much more fun to be a part of when it has a theme attached to it. With a golf tournament you should have a theme that keeps the love of golf in mind. Think of a creative theme that would fir within the boundaries of golf in some way. Think of various golf terms and connect them with other English words to help you decide on a suitable theme. However you choose to arrive at the theme, just make sure it has something to do with the game of golf.

At many tournaments people hand out mementos that are in line with their theme. That makes it even more important to have the appropriate theme, since people would remember it for some time to come, thanks to these gifts. Here are a few ideas to get you started on creating the right theme, which would help you organize other categories of the event as well:

1. The Tee theme, for instance, is a common theme that people use when hosting golf events, and your gifts and mementos could involve watches and other golf accessories. It is a theme which could often be used for tournaments concerning female players of all levels. The ladies just love being served with fresh cups of tea during the event, especially if the play is during the winter months..

2. The Diamonds in the rough is a popular theme for beginners golf events. The concept of the theme is to help the new players look within them selves to uncover the hidden golf pro inside. And who doesn't like being told there is an expert within?

3. Golfing Guardian Angels - this is a great theme for an event which you are hosting for reasons of donation to charity. Many times organizers make wings for people to wear during the tournaments, and they also make teams for every sponsorship option.

4. When you want a fun theme, Las Vegas is a great idea; it always gets people in the mood to party. You could involve a little Las Vegas feel into the tournaments by holding a lottery on the side, and sponsoring the winner with a trip to Vegas itself.

These are only a few ideas; don't be hesitant to make your own golf themes.

The Difference Between Bordeaux and Burgundy Wine Glasses

The beauty of wine is that it is all different. Each has its own color, flavor profile, body, nose, notes, tannin levels and finish. The experience of each is taken into consideration when a really fine crystal wine glass is crafted. The size, shape, lip--everything-about the glass is researched so that type of wine is experienced to its greatest potential. An excellent example of the concept of form following function in wine glasses is the difference between Bordeaux and Burgundy crystal wine glasses.

Bordeaux Wine Glasses

The glass consists of three parts: bowl, stem and base. There are three variables when creating a wine-specific glass: size, shape and rim diameter. Bordeaux-specific wine glasses typically have a large, tall bowl. A perfect example would be the impressive Riedel Sommeliers series Bordeaux wine glass for reds (there are many other fine crystal manufacturers that make wine-specific glasses, but for the purpose of this article I'm using one of my personal favorites). It is a simple, unadorned-yet-elegant glass engineered specifically for the heavier reds of the Bordeaux region of France (or their international counterparts), which produces not only the varietal, but also the many blends that include Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Carbernet Franc and Petite Verdot grapes. The large bowl of the Bordeaux-specific glass provides ample surface area for the full-bodied reds to be swirled to aerate and open up the nose of the wine and evaporate alcohol, taking into account the interaction of the fruits, minerals, acids, tannins and alcohol of the wine. The tall height of the bowl allows for the optimal amount of oxygen to fill the glass and enable the person drinking it to experience a heightened sense of the aroma, or bouquet. The cut rim allows the wine to direct smoothly onto the center of the tongue, creating the perfect balance of fruit, tannin and acidity.

Burgundy Wine Glasses

The Burgundy region of France produces its wine primarily using the Pinot Noir varietal. Actually, 90% of the wine produced in the region is made with Pinot Noir grapes, which are very fragrant and alluring. Again, using the example of the Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy glass, the notably wide, large bowl serves the purpose of aerating and opening up the nose of the wine, while also allowing alcohol to evaporate. This causes the aroma of the wine to rise to the nose of the taster, enhancing the experience of the complex aromatics. The cut rim of this red Burgundy wine glass flares out slightly, to allow the wine to flow to the tip of the tongue. Burgundy is generally higher in acid, and the placement at the tip of the tongue accentuates the sweetness of the wine.

Whether you are a fan of red wines such as the Bordeaux or Burgundy used in this example of wine-specific crystal wine glasses, or if you prefer white wine, you should experiment with wine glasses made for use with a certain wine variety. It is extremely interesting to discover how the same wine can taste completely different using different glasses. This is actually a really entertaining type of wine tasting you can do with your friends and neighbors--I personally enjoy doing it a great deal because it never ceases to amaze me how some very innovative crystal manufacturers have understood the concept of form following function and exhausted themselves, through trial and error, to perfect it.

Cheers!

Fun Things to Do on Your Vacation!

That's the intent of this article, to wake up some ideas in your head, and plan for things to do in Florida and any of your travels.

When we venture down to Florida or anywhere for that fact of the matter, we first figure out what activities we definitely don't want to miss. Here is our list of favorite things to do on vacation...

1. Sit on the beach and play in the ocean. This is a no brainer. We love to walk the beach, bathe in the sun, play in the waves, and watch the beautiful people.

What types of things do you do on your vacation? What activities do you have planned? Do you relax, go active, or a little of both?

2. Play golf. Golf is a great game. There are excellent golf courses all over the world to choose from and you can even plan an entire golf vacation.

3. Go fishing. Deep sea fishing or fishing from a pier is a blast. If you have never done this try it once, you'll love it.

4. Other sporting activities like scuba, snorkeling, water skiing, parasailing, renting jet skis, or whatever. There are a ton of water activities to choose from.

5. Day trips and tours are awesome choices. Rent a boat for the day. Take a barefoot cruise. Venture over to Orlando and go to Disney World or any theme park. Dinner cruises, exploring, hiking, tours at local sites, and anything else that you can think of.

6. Go shopping! Yes, the ladies will love this one and probably already have it planned. I hate to shop, but it is actually fun when I am on vacation. It wears me out though. Take some extra money and visit the local shops, find souvenirs, and spend some of that hard-earned money.

7. Drive around. We have rented convertibles or motorcycles for a couple of days and just explored the area. One time, we went from Miami to Key West and spent the day there. Another time, we traveled up the A1A highway along the Atlantic Coast of Florida, enjoying the luxurious homes, yachts, and views. You can even do this as a weekend getaway. Find a cool spot that's only 6 hours or less away and take off. We always have fun doing this.

8. Take in local entertainment, events, restaurants, and such. Go dancing, find the best watering holes, do something romantic, party likes its 1999. Remember, you are on vacation and it's time to have some fun and do stuff you don't usually get to do at home.

The list is as endless as your imagination. These are just a few general ideas that we always plan on doing. Be creative and try new things.

Enjoy your trip, have a good time, and tell us your stories!!!
