Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Think Florida for Your Next Golf Vacation

By Jay Stevenson

The "Sunshine State" or Florida offers a wide range of golf destinations good for both amateurs and professionals. Tagged as the "Golfers Paradise," golfing sites around Florida can be pinned to Orlando, Naples, Jacksonville, Miami, Panhandles, Space Coast, Fort Myers, Tampa and Sarasota. Given its year-round favorable sub-tropical climate condition, professionals and hobbyists will have the most memorable and enjoyable golfing experience ever.

A par 72, 18-hole Joe Lee design situated in the global city of Miami, the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa features four par-5 holes and a 570-yard hole golf course, one of the longest in South Florida. Named in 2002 and 2003 as the #1 Golf Resort in North America in the World Travel Awards, the Diplomat Golf Course provides 7,000-yard, 8-acre area of lakes with rolling fairways and 76 bunkers, which golf professionals would still find challenging and stimulating.

Rated four stars by Golf Digest's Best Places to Play, Metro West Golf Club in Orlando, Florida has proven its way in golfing experience. It was voted in 2001 by Orlando Magazine as its #1 Public Golf Course and Best Greens in 2003 Florida Golf Central. It was duly praised and recognized when it handled prestigious golf events such as the Champions Tour Qualifying Site from 1997-2007, the U.S. Open Qualifying Site from 1999-2007, 2003's Florida State Amateur, Oldsmobile Scramble National Finals in 1997 and the Celebrity Golf Association Tour from 1994-1996. Given its first-class, 18-hole, 72 par championship golf terrain, it is so unlikely that anyone would not want to play here. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., this traditional golf course masterpiece provides a fair and yet bold adventure for both skilled and less advanced golfers in scoring a more inspired hole.

Home of America's Professional Golfers' Association is the Palm Beach PGA National Resort & Spa. As host of the annual Honda Classic a U.S. PGA Tour golf tournament every March, this resort functions as a five tournament-ready golf course considered as one of the best in Florida. Recently awarded by the Travel & Leisure Gold Magazine as one having a Best Course and Best for Buddy Trips in its issue of 2008's World's Best Golf Resorts. One of its best layout and must-play is "The Champion" that features the "Bear Trap," which was accorded by USA Today as "one of the toughest stretches in golf". PGA National Resort and Spa also boast of its PGA-certified staff, PGA National Golf Academy, which gives individual lessons and group clinics.

As one of the world's most visited places, you can also try going to Florida's most beautiful white beaches while others like the golf aficionados, for instance, will find golf courses in Florida both open and daring. The lean season would have to be from May to October. Resorts are open to the public and all of them cater to any skill level of players from pros to beginners. As a golf heaven with over 1,000 sites to choose from, Florida golfing can never be boring.
