I am trying to locate a company who can come and take trash/small furniture/junk/ect. Something like 1-800-GOTJUNK would be perfect, but they stopped serving my area. I am looking for a company who will box up and take away everything. All I can find in the phone book are industrial and commercial companies who don’t come to homes. Do you know of any other companies that could help me? Thanks in advance!

I tend to be an old-school tri click player that still thinks that pga championship 2000 is the greatest game ever but cannot find the download to that anymore. Does Tiger Woods 2008 have any mods that has Augusta National (done well) and other classic courses not available for the game?

MV Agusta’s new Brutale 1078RR has the engine from the F4 RR312 superbike crammed into its tinny, **** chassis.

But it’s not just its 154bhp and 166-plus mph top speed, which sets this apart from any Brutale built before, the best bit is that it’s smoother and easier to ride than ever.

Newburgh on Ythan is a championship links golf course situated on the stunning links coast of Aberdeenshire - the same stretch of land where Donald Trump wishes to build his new Hotel and Golf Complex.

Orginally a 9 hole golf course, Newburgh on Ythan was extended back in 1996. Its a great links course with a closing 9 holes needing accurate shot making from tee to green.

 Mark Sinclair is the Club Captain for Newburgh on Ythan Golf Club and no better person for a unique insight into this championship links course.

1. What’s the best hole on the course?

18th - Previously, it was the longest Par 5 in Scotland and is still regarded by many as one of the finest closing holes around. A real tester if you have got a score going!

 

2. And the worst? (or the hole the members would like to change most)

 

There are no bad holes, but there are some changes required at the 6th hole and we have development plans in place.

 

3. What’s the most remarkable shot you’ve ever seen played

here? (or heard about)

 

I have heard lots of stories about taking gentlemen having to take a Driver at the 148yard Par 3 16th! Yes, it can sometimes get windy!

 

4. What’s the most remarkable round you’ve ever seen played here? (or heard about)

 

Last October a scratch player shot 67 at our course of the championship tees. The course plays 6423yards and it was bout 5degC that day. That was very impressive.

 

5. Which is the most deceptive hole? (looks benign but can trip you up)

 

Definitely the 1st. It measures 385yards and is a Par 4. However, it is uphill and usually in to wind and it plays more like 450yards. Most players are happy to accept a 5 anyday.

 

6. What’s the most important part of your game to bring here? (driving, irons, putting, recovery shots and so on)

 

It is very advisable to hit it straight and to not try to hit it big. Otherwise, bring plenty of balls as the gorse beckons!

 

7. Is the course popular with women?

 

Yes, we have a very active ladies section with a lot of single figure handicappers. They meet on Wednesday nights.

 

8. Which of your junior members shows most promise?

 

Jack Moir is 11 years old and is playing of 16.

 

9. Is the CSS usually above par, matching par or below par?

 

Our Par is 72 and the CSS is mostly 72 or 73 and very occasionally 74.

 

10. Which green can you least afford to miss?

 

Right of the 2nd or short of the 8th greens both spell trouble. Missing the 9th on either side normally means lost ball.

 

11. Which green is the most difficult to putt?

 

The 6th green has three levels

 

12. Which one feature (tree, water hazard, bunker etc) would you most like to remove? (like Eisenhower’s tree on the 17th at Augusta National).

 

Out of bounds to the right of the 17th

 

13. Who’s the most famous person, not a Tour golfer, to have played here?

 

The crown Prince of Siam. Donald Trump is also an honorary member.

 

14. Which member has achieved most in golf?

 

Paul Lawrie is an honorary member and he supports our Junior programme for which we are most grateful.

 

15. If money was no object, what would you change about the course?

 

We have a professionally written long term development plan and this would be accelerated if money was no object.

 

16. Honestly, do members see visitors as a necessary source of income, or do they welcome them with warmth?

 

We are proud of our relaxed and informal atmosphere and visitors are welcome with open arms seven days a week.

 

17. Do visitors usually walk off the 18th with a smile or a frown?

 

Definitely a big smile.

 

18. Which run of holes is the most difficult to negotiate?

 

7 thru 12.

 

19. Where do you need to take advantage in order to score well?

 

3 thru 6 and 13 thru 15

 

20. Which would you say are the strongest; the par threes, fours or fives?

 

The par threes. Three 3’s is a terrific achievement for any level of golfer.

The initiative taken by the Government of Haryana to invite investment in Gurgaon has caused an active growth in knowledge based industries, including Information Technology (IT) services. This idea has generated a huge demand for space of official purposes and as a result residential properties are in demand. 

Space for official purposes in corporate buildings as well as in commercial centers like Info City, IMT Manesar, Pace City and Udyog Vihar has driven Gurgaon to turn into the commercial center of India. Golf course road has turned into the central space of corporate office with a number of grades-A buildings such as Orchid Square, Vatika Towers, Global Foyer, Augusta Point, Centrum Plaza and Vipul Tech Square coming up here. In addition, Sohna road is witnessing frantic development of office space by developers including Omaxe, Bestech and Spaze.   

Some other areas fast-developing as a shopping avenue are National Highway no 8, DLF Phase I, DLF Phase II, DLF Phase VI, Sohna Road, Part 2 of Sector 15 and many more. The second largest US provider of rooms Hilton Hotels Corp. and joint venture partner DLF Ltd have planned to make an investment of $1.5 Billion for constructing a chain of hotels across India, roughly 60 to 70 hotels. In association with Inter Continental Group, Today Group has supplied with a 235-room Five Star Hotel on NH-8 that is located opposite Signature Towers. Vatika is also in the line of constructing hotels and one of them is the Westin Hotel on M.G. Road and it is expected to start operation before 2010. HUDA has publicly sold a large chuck of land in sector 29 Gurgaon for the purpose of hospitality related development.

Healthcare centers in Gurgaon are in the process of development with world- class facilities. One of them is Artemis Health Institute (AHI), a 500-bed super-specialty health center constructed by Artemis Health Sciences (AHS) - a healthcare business enterprise opened by the promoters of the Apollo Tyres Group. Sector 38 in Gurgaon is witnessing a multi-disciplinary medical city named “MediCity”. It is being constructed by Dr. Naresh Trehan and the construction of MediCity also includes R&D centre, training institutes and special synergy of both unconventional and contemporary medicines for treatment to be setup in Gurgaon. The medical city has made a promise to bring in a novel age of medicine. It has also planned to put together super-specialties, such as oncology, neurosciences, cardiology and technically sophisticated orthopedics among others. Additionally, Ranbaxy Group of Companies has instituted work on its 950-bed facility hospital, Fortis International Institute of Medical Sciences that is spread over an area of 10.7-acre of land in the heart of Gurgaon. Some other high-end hospitals in Gurgaon are Max Healthcare, Umkal, Privat and Paras Hospital.

Hey
My friend is going to be working at Augusta National starting after the Masters for a year.
Myself and some friends were going to make a road trip and vist him this summer.

We want to golf while we are down there. What courses are good around that area that arn’t really expensive. Don’t tell me to golf at Augusta National because that is impossible.
I never said that I am going to be down there during the Masters. I will be making the trip in the summer not the spring.
