Word from the Westin Le Paradis Beach & Golf Resort in St. Lucia that it plans to be the Caribbean's first fossil free resort.
In addition to using the sun to heat the resort's agua, the resort will utilize a computerized irrigation system to water its signature Greg Norman golf course.
The 18-hole layout is perched 600 feet above sea level and promises to boast jaw-dropping views of the tranquil waters below.

Bayonet and Black Horse to Reopen December 22nd
Two of Northern California's toughest public golf courses will reopen just in time for the holidays after a $13 million renovation. Bates Golf Design (Circling Raven) was tapped for the makeover.
Hole routings were altered and new tees, bunkers and green complexes were added.
Here's the view from Bayonet's 17th tee box:
And from Black Horse's 15th tee:
The two courses boast some pretty great views of Monterey Bay. For more information click here.

Swing like Tommy "Two Gloves"
Tommy "Two Gloves" Gainey shot a nifty 8-under 64 yesterday to capture second place in the PGA Tour's season-ending Children's Miracle Network Classic. Watch it? I didn't think so.
Gainey's homegrown, unorthodox swing (not to mention grip, set up and choice of two, count 'em two gloves) should not be emulated. But there is one part of his swing that every golfer should seek to imitate: his confidence.
Notice how in this swing he leaves nothing in the bag? It ain't pretty, but it's the hallmark of someone who's really feelin' it.
