My wife and I went to the Whistling Straits Restaurant for dinner while on a long weekend up in Wisconsin, and the weather was ideal for photography. Truly a 10 out of 10 in my opinion.

I’ve already done a Review of Whistling Straits, but felt compelled to share this photography. The pictures just took themselves; enjoy.

As we approached the clubhouse, from the parking lot.

View of the 10th (to the left) and 18th.

View of the 10th and 18th fairways.

The 9th fairway and green.

The 9th (on the right) and 18th greens.

The 9th fairway and green, with just a little of the 18th flag on the left.

The 18th at Whistling Straits.

I hope you enjoyed viewing these pictures as much as I did taking them.

Be sure to click-through and view them on Flickr; there are much larger sizes available, and they’re perfect for desktop backgrounds.

There is a new iPhone app out just in time for the Masters Golf Tournament, and as expected, it is extremely well done.

Offering live coverage during the tournament of multiple locations on the course, the Par 3 contest, video flyovers of each hole, and much more. If you love golf (meaning you love the Masters) this app is for you.

Finally, it even allows you to choose your connection.

So go download it now. Just search the iTunes store for “Masters”. Enjoy!

If you’ve ever had the time to dig deep into Google Maps, you may find it as addicting as I have. There are so many options available for customization, it just blows me away.

Case in point: I’ve been building a Google Map for all of the courses I’ve played. As most of you know from my Flickr addiction, I take A LOT of pictures when I’m on the golf course. It only makes sense to use these photos in a map. With a little knowledge of HTML, and a strong interest and desire, here’s what’s possible with Google Maps. I offer you my Google Golf Map.

Basically, I’ve created a marker for each golf course that I’ve played. Let’s look at a little closer example, of the state of Michigan and the Chicago area.

Here you can see that I’ve played all over the Chicago area, in Northern Michigan and Northern Wisconsin. Lots (of good golf in both places, by the way.) The real good stuff, and the real value of this map is at the golf course level. Check this out:

The thing to notice is that not only have I incorporated an image from the golf course, but I’ve also added links at the bottom that lead to the rest of the golf course pictures, as well as a review I created for the course on my blog.

So far I’ve received over 7,000 views of this map, and I couldn’t be more proud. I can’t wait to go golfing again this summer, just so I can add to it!

So check out my Google Golf Map, and play around with it for awhile. What else can I add? More importantly, what did this example cause you to do to help promote something of yours via Google Maps?
