I stumbled on a new website today that I think will be a good complement to Golf Orlando Florida. Golfers will find a great new online resource for checking the current conditions of an Orlando golf course before booking their tee times. While www.orlandogolfconditions.com features complete reviews, not only of the layout and its special features, but also how the course is currently playing. The reviews are provided by OGC staff and by Orlando golfers just like you. Visitors to the site are encouraged to leave their own reviews, written in your words for all to see. Just sign in and you can leave your thoughts on your favorite golf courses.

Hawk's Landing Golf Club, an Orlando Golf Course, will participate in the third annual Patriot Golf Day, a joint initiative of The PGA of America and the United States Golf Association. Golfers across the country have the unique opportunity to donate $1 or more to benefit the Folds of Honor Foundation (FoldsofHonor.org), which provides post-secondary educational scholarships to families of those who have become disabled or lost their lives in the line of duty. Hawk's Landing Golf Club will request at least an additional $1 for each green fee that is processed Sept. 4-7.

"This is a great way for the golf industry to help the families of those who have lost their lives or have been injured so that we may have our freedom," said Mike Hodgins, Director of Golf at Hawk's Landing. "This is also a fabulous opportunity for golfers in our community who have so much to be thankful for, to give back to those who have given everything and to provide some much needed assistance for the families who have made so many sacrifices for our country."

National Putt-Putt Golf Tournament to be Held at Orange Lake Resort

For the fourth time, Orange Lake Resort will be hosting the Professional Putters Association (PPA) Championship Putt-Putt® Golf tournament, this year under their new timeshare brand, Holiday Inn Club Vacations. The 12-round event will take place from September 14-19 at the resort’s 36-hole championship Putt-Putt Golf course, the only course of its kind in the Central Florida area built for Putt-Putt tournament play.

Recognized by such publications as Sports Illustrated, USA Today, Life Magazine, the Washington Post and Golf Digest—and featured on shows including The TODAY Show and the Jay Thomas Show on Sirius Satellite Radio—the PPA is celebrating their 50th annual tournament this year with a special event. More than 80 active and former members of the PPA from across the United States, going back in membership since 1959, will join together prior to the national championship to revisit the game with old friends and play a reunion tournament.
