Buying a new kayakWritten by Jakob Jelling
Comfort is most important thing you should consider if you are buying a new kayak.If you’re thinking about buying a new kayak, there are a few things that you should definitely consider before you go out and actually spend money. The first thing you should figure out is whether or not you know what you’re getting into. If you’ve only ever used rental kayaks, then you might want to buy a kayak that is similar to kinds that you’ve used in past. The first thing you should consider is whether or not it will be easy for you to get into cockpit wearing clothes that you’re thinking about wearing kayaking. Large people should make sure that kayak they are buying has a lot of room for them to get in – you don’t want to find out that you can’t easily get in and out of your kayak when you’re already at beach. If at all possible, you should see if you can at least try getting into kayak before you buy it. How well kayak will handle in different water conditions is another major thing that you should consider. If you’re not going to be able to control your kayak when you’re on water, then there’s no point in buying that particular model of kayak. This is another reason why you should see if you can try out kayak that you’re thinking about buying before you actually pay for it.

Myrtle Beach is best of both worlds for every golfer, QUALITY and QUANTITY. The Grand Strand has over 120 courses designed by best in game: Dye, Jones, Nicklaus, Palmer, and Fazio to name a few. Over 1 Million golfers played there in 2004. You will find largest assortment of quality courses to test your game, both mentally and physically.Ten years ago, our group of relatives, friends, and friends of friends, began our now yearly trek to this golf capital of world. Although our line-up of players and courses alters slightly from year to year, one constant remains, that is great golf bargains we have found in this golf mecca. Planning for next years trip begins even before we putt out on 18th hole of our final day. We don't want it to end, and we can't wait for next trip to begin. Living in northeast, we play some great courses in PA, MD, and VA throughtout year. But to us, it is all is just a warm-up to our late August mini-tour of this South Carolina beach town. With most of us approaching our late 40's or early 50's, it's one time of year wives let us indulge in a week of golf heaven, and we really get to be boys again (it pays to have picked right mate). Since we have already fulfilled our families' summer vacation obligations, and yard work is winding down, late August is perfect time for our trip to paradise. Playing Myrtle Beach in late August finds courses 1/2 to 1/3 of their premium peak season rates. Along with lower hotel fees for this late season visit, we easily justify trip. Crowds are low, most kids are back in school, and there are times when we are literally only golfers on course. Play is fast and cheap, so we have to go 36 holes! We play combinations of "related" or "sister" courses like True Blue & Caledonia. Or, Tidewater & Grande Dunes. Many combinations like these provide substantional discounts for same day play, some even offer discounts for playing both in same week. Complexes like Legends or Wild Wing, have numerous courses on same property where after a quick shower and lunch at their fantastic facilities, we are well tuned for a second 18 holes. Tee Times are in abundance for most of these top quality courses, we rarely run into a problem getting on a course. These are some of best courses in world. Where else can you play a TPC course for a replay rate of only $40-$50? The fee includes same friendly accommodating staff, cart, practice range, full use of facilities, locker room, restaurants, bar, and of course, COURSE! All for a fraction of peak season rates!
