			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="" src="http://www.asian-golf-expert.com/golfasiancom/ganet/ga_gallery/albums/userpics/10001/thumb_Fairway~55.jpg" class="alignleft" width="200" height="200" /><br />
The Nichigo Golf Resort is situated along the River Kwai Yai, the larger of the 2 Kwai Rivers, about 30 minutes North of the provincial capital. There is welcome peace and spaciousness about the Nichigo course. The 27 holes (Lake, River and Mountain courses) are perfectly fitted into the spectacular landscape of Kanchanaburi.</p>
<p>For many golfers visiting Thailand the charm of a course is just as important as the technical challenge; Nichigo combines both. The exotic site along the river, the mountainous landscape, as well as abundant tropical gardens all add to the charm. The many dog legs, side hill and up hill fairways, and well bunkered greens add to the course difficulty.</p>
<p>Always well maintained, challenging, and eye catching, this golf course is the best in Kanchanaburi. Be sure to check out the replica of the famous Bridge over the River Kwai, a great spot for some memorable poses to show the friends back home. It is located between hole number five and six.</p>
<p>Unique among golf courses in Thailand and environmentally friendly, the fairways use imported Noshiba grass from Korea that does not require any pesticides to maintain a high qulaity standard year round. The greens covered with Bermuda Tif dwarf, are usually of good speed, and the subtle undulations add to the putting challenges.</p>
<p>The on-site resort has seen better days and is best avoided in favor of one of the many resorts in town. Also, the club house and restaurant is quite spartan, so it is best to buy your supplies and plan on eating elsewhere after your round.</p>
<p>In spite of the lack of off course amenities, Nichigo is still an excellent golf course and is a great play for both the recreational and single digit handicapper. Be sure to include it on all River Kwai golf tours.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the increase in personal financial worth, the standard of living of people across the world has improved immensely. The recent boom in the real estate industry has led to many innovative trends, one of them being the development of communities for living. The golf course community is one such novel trend that is so extreme in vogue and has gained immense popularity in the recent years.</p>
<p>If you are a person or people who love outdoor sports, especially golf, then investment in a golf course community may be just the right choice for you. For seniors and retired individuals, this is a mode of perfect pay back via the comforts provided. Such people can enjoy their old age in a secure environment presenting means of a healthy lifestyle. Facilities available other than golf include basketball court, baseball field, equestrian facilities, swimming pool, spa, tennis court and recreation centers.</p>
<p>The landscaping of this community also offers a serene view that one can fully admire for hours altogether. The greenery in the surroundings not only adds to the scenic view but also provides fresh and unpolluted air. Furthermore, the community provides access to diverse varieties of homes that are affordable for people belonging to different financial strata. Golf course communities offer an option to select from a variety of home styles including villa-type home, luxury home, single-family home, town home, apartments and condominiums.</p>
<p>The golf course community is not only home for the older generation, but surprisingly many younger people also choose to reside here. One of the reasons could be that in present fast pace of life, the serenity of the environment offers relaxation to the body, mind and soul. The atmosphere certainly assists in rejuvenating and gearing up oneself to face the hectic routine once again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greens have always fascinated the urban population and when it comes to owning homes within private golf communities or by the side of public greens, there are lots of buyers who are willing to spend the extra dollar for the comfort and luxury that such homes promise. Such communities and homes are great locations to purchase a home, as these residences not only allow you to spend your time in a stunning location and give you easy access to the golf club, but also ensure that you spend less time commuting and more time working on your swing and improving your golf.</p>
<p>When you are given the choice of public greens and private golf communities, there is a bit of confusion as far the choice is concerned. If you have the budget, it is always better to go for private communities, as these offer a great level of privacy and access to world class facilities. As these are more expensive, you have lesser number of residents or members and lesser people to use the facilities means that you will spend less time waiting on other players. Also, you have the chance top rub shoulders and practice with the best in such communities and hence gives you the chance to improve on your skill faster than in public communities and clubs.</p>
<p>Some additional benefits of being in a private golf community is that these communities have scenery that is similar to a resort. They look very similar to a resort except fore the fact that the greenery is more suited to golf playing. There are also various value added services like lunches, refreshments, professional caddy services and also more room between tee times to ensure all its members are treated like a pro. This makes the entire exercise of golf playing a very enjoyable and relaxing recreational sport. Although these homes are called golf homes, they also offer other sports facilities like volleyball, tennis and gymnasiums so that the family members of the golf loving resident do not have to go out in search of other sports activities. You can use them at your convenience or attend some of the many tournaments that are scheduled throughout the year. Social interaction is another great benefit of living in such communities as you have golf loving elite as your co-resident and hence offers you a chance to socialize with the crème de la crème of the society.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Golf humor is best depicted by golf cartoons. And if you keep a golf-related website yourself, you might as well get a load of free golf cartoons to spice up your site a little. These cartoons are eye-catching. Your visitors will surely be compelled to stay, if only to read the daily golf cartoons you have up.</p>
<p>Aside from over the internet, free golf cartoons can also be obtained from other golf reading materials. They are usually included in newspapers and golf magazines, more particularly in the entertainment pages. If you can&#8217;t possibly access the internet everyday, at least you can try the newsstand daily and check out the latest version of your favorite golf magazine and look at their entertainment section. There should be some golf funny pictures there included. If there aren&#8217;t any, you can always write the editor and request for some. He might grant your request and feature a funny golf cartoon for you regularly starting on the next issue.</p>
<p>The people who would benefit most from free golf cartoons would be the ones who maintain a golf blog and those who publish some golf-related newsletter. These cartoons would surely add delight to your readers. What&#8217;s more, they might even look forward to your newsletters if only for the funny golf cartoons you always insert in one of the pages. Hilarity is important in life &#8211; especially in golf where hitting the ball with a golf club seemed to be the hardest thing in the world.</p>
<p>One reason why golf jokes and cartoons are popular is because of the fact that most golf players do not play by the rules of the game. The hobby players, most especially the novice ones, think that all they have to do is to hit the ball with the club up until they reach the hole. Simple as that may seem, there are things that you can and can&#8217;t do while in the golf course. But of course, not all players would stop and read the golf book before embarking onto the field and play. Some would rather learn the game as they go along. As such, more jokes and funny stories are told. And more ideas for golf cartoons are obtained.</p>
<p>Free golf cartoons are definitely a good way to attract customers. Cartoons are always good marketing techniques. People may not always stop by the picture of a famous superstar because it&#8217;s seen almost everywhere. But it if were a cartoon with funny looking characters, fifty percent of the people who have seen that picture while passing by would stop and read what it has to say. This is because people are always ready for a good laugh.</p>
<p>You can also get your free golf cartoons straight from artists themselves. Of course, you can always ask somebody to write you up a good joke and then ask another to draw a funny cartoon about it. Then add it in your brochures, posters, flyers, and all other marketing materials. You will surely get better sales, readership count, and subscribers. Maximize the power of humor. Golf cartoons can surely help you boost the page rank of your website. If you have not tried it yet, now is the right time to do it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One great way to meet business contacts online while building your searchability in the search engines is through the use of social networking sites. Groups such as MySpace are not just for teenagers anymore. More and more business professionals are on MySpace, and for a very good reason: it works.</p>
<p>If you are a real estate professional, or in any related field, be sure to visit Active Rain. This site was established in 2006 by a group of entrepreneurs wanting to help realtors to be found on the Internet more easily. The site is completely free and offers a blog and room for links, comments, and information about you and your company. They use a point system for ranking and you receive points for posting to your blog, inviting others to join Active Rain, and more.</p>
<p>Here are some tips to remember when using any social networking site to attract new business:</p>
<p>* Visit the site for at least a week before making any comments. You want to see how the site works and what type of comments are typical. Because you will be using your real name and business information you don’t want to jump in too quickly with something you may later regret.<br />
* When you finally do announce yourself on the site be prepared to respond to other peoples comments. These social networking sites are much like meeting people at a party for the first time. They will want to tell you about themselves as much as you do. Be polite, listen to what they have to say, and then make an appropriate comment back to them.<br />
* If you don’t have anything relevant to say, keep your mouth shut. Writing about something that is not relevant to your profession will just make you look bad. Wait until you can make an intelligent comment or response before writing. It is better to write very little than to go on and on about topics that are not of interest to other members.<br />
* Don’t try to sell anything to anyone. If you just begin a dialogue with the other members, what you have to offer will evolve naturally. Give it a little time before you even offer your services for a fee. Be a resource before you are a vendor and you will have others clamoring for your services.<br />
* Try to meet new people one at a time. Find out who they are and what they do before you get into a long discussion with anyone. Visit their website and get more information. Doing business online is very similar to doing it in person. Check out someone’s credentials and references carefully to see if they are legitimate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The cost of living in these communities is quite expensive. Every member of the society is obligated to pay for memberships and other fees. All of which is used for the upkeep and the development of the place. No wonder these communities have clean roads, tree-lined pavements, well-maintained landscapes, recreational centers and amazing waterfronts. It is like living in a city within a city. Only this time, members have the chance to enjoy the exclusivity of the place and great privileges.</p>
<p>There are various types of master-planned communities. In this article, you will get a chance to take a peek on what golf communities are all about.</p>
<p>Living in Golf Communities</p>
<p>This kind of community is perfect for everyone. Demographics show, starting out families and retirees commonly seek this kind of home; and of course, golfers.</p>
<p>People seek golf communities to have easy access to the sport they love. Avid golfers can avail of the housing programs so they can live around the golf course. This would be certainly be convenient for anyone who cannot get enough of the sport.</p>
<p>Having the name golf community does not mean you cannot learn other sports other than golf. With fantastic amenities, every member can learn golf and enjoy a healthy lifestyle with other kinds of sports.</p>
<p>Golf Communities are also peaceful communities, not to mention, the great landscaping. Everything around you is filled with green. It can be a great place to come home to especially if you work in such a stressful environment.</p>
<p>Tips in Finding Golf Communities</p>
<p>After reading all the features of a golf community, you will probably end clamoring for it. If you intend to relocate in one of this, start shopping for them. Not all of them have the same features.</p>
<p>You also have other considerations in living within this community. You have to ask yourself if you are able to afford their fees. You can certainly have a good time and a good environment to live in. However, can you keep up with your monthly obligations with your Homeowner Association, considering you have mortgage and other expenses?</p>
<p>You also have to be careful about agreeing to their covenants, conditions and restrictions. If you are the type of person who does not love restrictions then you may have to look for golf-communities with acceptable rules and regulations. These things are important for them to maintain the quality of environment for their members.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The chatter of golfers, noise over the weekends, and constant hits by golf balls which may land on your property is something you have to either get used to or learn to tune out. But these things come with the package. The upside is that you will enjoy a beautiful golf course view anytime you want from your back porch. Golf course homes have been prolific in Florida over a decade and being constructed with stucco, which is a good choice for a Florida home. They are constructed well, easy to maintain and are usually the most affordable exterior construction option in the tropics.</p>
<p>Decide whether you want to keep this golf course residence as a year-around residence or want to retain it as a holiday home. Snowbirds among other seasonal inhabitants may actually visit and stay over at the house if it is unoccupied for long. Safety is yet another factor, as is privacy. Properties on the fairway are best suited for this. Look for communities with gated entrances, they afford a limited amount of privacy and safety.</p>
<p>You may want to secure your property with some nets but that may not be easy given many golf courses have Homeowners Associations which exclude nets from backyards. Always ask your real estate agent for a copy of the rules before committing to buy any property, especially those that share a common view. There could be rules that you are not willing to adhere to or rules that are too relaxed for your requirements.</p>
<p>What is the cost of the house on the golf course you desire to buy? What is the cost of a round of golf at this same place? A ratio of these two factors may give you some idea of property prices here and whether or not buying is a good idea for you. Don&#8217;t assume that having a house on a golf course entitles you to call the golf course your backyard&#8217;s natural extension; this may not be the case. Many golf course houses in Florida have walls around them so you may just need to check if this is required. Property prices along a golf course are also known to differ with location.</p>
<p>Another point of concern is the layout of the property. Given many new constructions taking place on the greens, prospective buyers should compulsorily look at the built up plan. It may be easy to assume that prices of homes on the golf course will go up as real estate becomes more expensive. But that may not always be true. In case of over development on the course, real estate prices may stabilize or decrease.</p>
