Avoiding the Pitfalls of Commercial Relocation
Moving to new premises is sometimes unavoidable, and no matter whether you have simply outgrown your current property or simply wish to benefit from an improved location, business relocation can make a world of difference and offer many important benefits.
However, commercial relocation can also be very time consuming and extremely costly too, and unless it is approached in the right way, such a course of action may actually only cause problems and throw up hassles and costs that negate many of the benefits of moving.
The first thing to do is to explore the location in which you plan to buy property. Not only might you need to understand whether the area is likely to remain economically buoyant for the foreseeable future, but you will also want to understand how property prices have changed in the area and how they are forecasted to change over the coming months to ensure that you are not buying the right property at the wrong time (or worse, the wrong property at any time). The facilities as well as the cost of running the new premises should also be taken into account, and you may find that, in some cases, more expensive premises can cost far less in the long term.
Machinery removals are often the other sticking point when relocating a business. Such removals will require the expertise of specialist companies, and the larger, heavier or more unique the equipment you have, the more specialised the company you will need to find.
You will also need to find a machinery transport company that are reputable and experienced. Those with specialised removal equipment alone may not be the best choice if they haven’t had the experience to help them deal with unforeseen problems and cater their services to your own unique needs.
No matter how urgently you need to move, be sure to take the necessary time in choosing premises and removals to ensure that your decision to move doesn’t end up coming back to haunt you.

Charter helicopter flights for business or pleasure
Getting around these days is just so complicated. The traffic snarls up during rush hour and public transport can be unreliable. When the train is delayed there's nothing much passengers can do except sit and wait. In the business world time is very much money. Senior executives have a punishing workload. They have to travel from meeting to meeting, all over the UK. They can't afford to be delayed.
Helicopter hire is the perfect way to get them to their destination faster. There's no need to wait around to catch a flight. Helicopters can be chartered any time for the fastest way to travel on business. They can take off and land almost anywhere. It really is a door to door service. When time is of the essence it really is the best way to travel. Some meetings are just too important to miss.
Helicopter flights are great for pleasure too. It's a great way to see a city like London for example from a very different perspective. A pleasure flight makes for a great gift. Not only is it a great way to see any city from the air, but it makes people feel like a VIP for the day. After all, who gets to travel by helicopter?
It's a very different experience to plane travel. There aren't hundreds of other passengers and the chopper is much more manoeuvrable and versatile than a plane. It can stop, hover and turn like nothing else. It really is a great experience.
No matter whether it's for business or pleasure it's a great way to travel. Beat traffic jams and delays or take to the skies for a bird's-eye view of the the city or the best that nature has to offer. Everyone should experience a helicopter ride at least once in their life.

The future of luxury goods, is or will become closer to a more snobbish? Is to take care of more services to consumers or only very few high-end consumers? Which is placed in front of all brands in the choice of a must do. As you can, like Hermes, a crocodile skin Birkin bags, selling tens of thousands of dollars on, but also requires buyers queue for years; also be the same as the COACH, the price of 3,000 U.S. dollars, so that ordinary office workers are “close at hand and . ”

For those not very well-off consumers, “consumption upgrade” and “consumer downgrade” the trend more apparent. For some of them very much, that makes sense of the category, consumers may patronize a number of specialized shops, at the high prices that they believe is worth having, reflecting the identity of the brand; the contrary, for those who they think does not matter the category, consumers supermarket chain may buy cheap goods.
According to the Boston company’s forecast, Europe and America “consumer upgrade market” (Trading-up Market) is close to 400 billion U.S. dollars, and this market is 10% to 15% annual growth rate; By 2010, global “consumer upgrade market,” should reach 1 trillion U.S. dollars. COACH aim is that “consumption upgrade” who – in the brand to become more rational consumption and personalized, would rather live frugally in some aspects of life, but also spend most of their income that is worth the “new luxury goods “on.

Horse fencing goes green for your little girl
Sometime in every little girl’s life she will as for a pony! Some people are fortunate enough to have the land and means to provide that wish, but there is a great deal more to caring for a horse than just the initial purchase. Growing up on a mountain in Colorado, there were horse properties every which direction, and locals found out fast that having the proper horse fencing was an important necessity as the horse will require a great deal of maintenance, one does not want to have to put much effort in the care and quality of their fencing.
When looking for horse fence to create your little girl’s dream there are a few important items to consider. The first being cost because let’s face it; this will be an expensive adventure! Different fencing needs will range in cost depending on the material and square footage. Alumachield Fences are a pipe fence made of aluminum alloy which is great for rush prevention and is known to work better in areas where the elements are a factor to consider.

This is the perfect fencing for a home where a portion of the yard is in the front yard, and there is a need for a classy look without taking away any of the down home country feel.
There are also options for the go green enthusiasts as the metal recycling industry as become one of the most advanced and largest industries in the world as it is now more cost effective and earth friendly to produce products from scrap metal than virgin metals which ultimately saves an amazing amount of natural resources.
Aluminum and steel are the two most commonly recycled metals which contain zero poisonous components and are found naturally in the earth, and these materials are what some horse fencing companies are using to create their products. A few in the United States alone which use all recycled materials for their fencing which cuts down the CO2 emissions and air pollution.

Hermes japanned leather bag manifested her courageous
The famous comedy actress Joan Rivers wears an orange cape in the blanket-size. The same color Hermes japanned leather bag manifested her courageous and fashionable temperament. Omega replica I want to like this studded hobo bag from Alexander McQueen´s current season collection, but I can´t help visualising a pair of high-waisted lacy knickers every time I look at the pattern of the gold studs at the front of the bag. With the rounded-off plain sections at the side being the ´legs´…ew!
The hardware is subtle, the shapes are classic, and there´s rarely a logo in sight. “We design for the modern woman that we see every day, on the street in San Francisco, Chicago, New York and every city in between,” Truex said. Seamaster WeWood offers a variety designs but regardless of external styling they´re all made of 100% natural wood with Miyota movement and no chemicals whatsoever, which means they´re hypoallergenic and perfect for sensitive skin types. The various color combinations are achieved by using four different types of wood: Red Wing Celtis, Ebony, Maple and Guaiaco. Personally I think these are some of the most impressive and unique watches I´ve seen in a long time — they look exclusive and expensive but not at all pretentious. They´re also all priced the same and are surprisingly affordable at $119.
The joy of holiday comes from sharing in every minute and second, from every moment when we communicate with each other and appreciate each other sincerely and happily. At this moment we will manifest our irresistible charm before all. Hermes female watch series could help you realize all of these fabulous moments when you are celebrating the happy time you spend together with your family members and friends.There are patterns of gorgeous female watches embroidered with beautiful diamonds and keeps the classic temperament of Hermes. They are shinning attempting feeling with the eternal Hermes gesture. Hermes Bracelets The Australian model factory continued to churn out fabulously slim girls ready to follow in the pony steps of Kershaw and Catherine McNeil. The best of the bunch was 2010 Australian Vogue cover girl Codie Young. The Queenslander´s hooded eyes and aristocratic neck make her the Girl Most Likely in the Class of 2011, with Myf Shepherd and former Australia´s Next Top Model winner Alice Burdeau also expected to return to the fashion forefront next year.
With more tan 160 years´ history, Hermes has created a prominent and graceful brand temperament in the fashion circle with the eternal spirit to pursue the most delicate and flawless products for customers. Making processes of Hermes gathered several spectacular techniques based on the Lion district. There are totally seven processes from designing to making. A scarf could be completed after 18 months after going through all the strict processes. So every Hermes scarf could be regarded as the antique product with high collection value and unique charm. Omega Watches Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak shows us that a nixie tube watch is probably a better idea in theory than it is in practice. It´s so bulky. Sure looks like a lot of trouble he has to go through just to change the time zone. Never mind that, if they could just make these things a whole lot smaller, we´d really be lusting after one.

Christmas - Crazy Christmas Toy Hysteria
Nothing quite celebrates the spirit of Christmas like rampant commercialism. And we're not talking about the every day, let's-go-out-and-buy-some-chocolates-for-mom type of commercialism here. No. What we are talking about is those crazy toys and gadgets that come up every so often that somehow grab people by the lapels and scream "You MUST purchase this item as a Christmas present!"
Every year around Christmas time, there are some products that are considered to be big sellers. These items are in demand as presents for the holidays, so stores can expect to move stock with ease. Most of the time, these items do not cause a lot of panic and hysteria and a general disregard for what the season is all about. There have been several items over the past few decades, however, that make shoppers go crazy with the idea that they simply HAVE to purchase it right now. The result is that these items sell out almost immediately after being put on the shelves, general pandemonium, and an incredible lack of common sense as people offer exorbitant prices to anyone who had the good fortune of picking an item up while it was still on the shelves. Here is a look at some of the goods that have caused some Christ-mass-panic.
Star Wars Action Figures (1977): The popularity of the Star Wars movie took everyone by surprise, and the toy marketing business was no exception. Up until this time, lines of movie goods were intended to include some playing cards, and maybe some board games. Manufacturer Kenner purchased the rights to develop products for the Star Wars line, and it came up with a basic set of four action figures (Luke, Chewie, Princess Leia, and R2D2), By Christmas time, these figures were not yet created, so parents would buy their kids a cardboard box with depictions of the characters included. The box contained a promissory note that said that the actual toys were on the way, and the concept sold thousands of toys.
Cabbage Patch Kids (1983): The Cabbage Patch Dolls took crazy Christmas toy season to a whole new level. Huge heads, a certificate of adoption, the signature of the designer on the butt, who wouldn't want one of these amazing toys? Parents waited for hours in lines in order to get some of these dolls, especially the ones which were considered rare.
Game Boy (1989): Capitalizing on the success of its game consoles in the mid-80s, Nintendo Game Systems introduced the hand held unit Game Boy in 1989. The units were sold containing the game Tetris, which had mass appeal for kids and adults alike. In addition, the Game Boy unit could be played by up to four players at once. The toy was highly sought after by parents who wanted to distract their kids during long car trips and by people with mind numbing cubicle jobs.
Tickle Me Elmo (1996): The plush depiction of Sesame Street's annoying little red monster was huge in 1996. The toy would laugh when squeezed, and if he was squeezed three times in a row, he would begin to shake and laugh hysterically. The incredible popularity of the toy was unforeseen by manufacturers, and it quickly sold out whenever new shipments became available, often causing fights to break out among parents in the store. There were reports of injuries, and many newspapers claimed that people were re-selling the dolls at hugely inflated rates (this was in the days before E-Bay).
PlayStation 3 (2006): The third version of PlayStation's popularity is evident to anyone who has any kind of connection to the outside world in the days leading up to Christmas 2006. The developers of the console have evidently taken advantage of the demand that low supply creates, and the limited amount of systems shipped to North America were sold out within a matter of hours, again often causing mass hysteria and sometimes violence. Prices on Ebay show that this console can sell at double the price, with several bids placed on PS3 units listed at $760.
Although there are certain toys that sell better than anything else each year, the items that truly create hysteria must have a combination of desire on the part of the public as well as limited quantities available. It seems as though, while most occurrences of limited quantity items have been unintentional, in 2006 Sony at least has caught onto the game and created a hysteria all its own.

Slots - How To Play Slots
The idea behind playing slots, is to make the symbols that spin around, line up with other symbols, so as to create a win as per the machine's payout table. Players choose how much to bet and how many lines to play.
Each machine should have a payout table. This table shows which combinations are winning combinations. It also shows the amount that can be won when a player "spins" a particular winning combination.
Some machines give the player the opportunity to win even more money, through a secondary betting mechanism. For example, the player may be given the opportunity to double their winnings by guessing the color of a hidden card: black or red.
There are generally two kinds of slots machines: standard and progressive. Standard machines function on their own and payout winnings according to their payout table. Progressive machines are a series of machines linked up to each other. These machines share a common jackpot or jackpot values. The shared jackpots grow over time, as more and more people play the machines without winning a jackpot. As you can imagine, these jackpots can become enormous. Linked progressive machines may reside in the same room, same building, anywhere within a city, country or even globally. This is particularly true of Internet-based slots games.
How much can a slot machine payout? Slots are generally programmed to pay a percentage of their takings. This percentage usually sits between 85% and 98%. The greater the payout percentage, the more the machine will payout.

Choose a machine that advertises a high payout percentage (between 95% and 99%, if possible). These games might have a high value minimum bet.
Ensure you understand the payout schedule prior to deciding how much to bet per payline and how many paylines to bet on. It would be unfortunate to produce a winning then realize it could have been significantly higher had the bet been slightly higher.
Some progressive slots only offer the jackpot prize to players that bet the maximum amount. For this reason, it is important that you understand the machine's payout table before playing.
The amount of credit bet is not related to the likelihood of spinning a winning combination.
Generally, it seems more beneficial to bet the maximum amount of credit per payline. The problem, however, is that this has the potential to quickly exhaust your wallet. With this in mind, find a machine that best suits your budget. A quarter machine may suit your budget more so than a dollar machine, for example.
Recognize when a jackpot (large value) has been won. Some machines will ask you to call an attendant who will organize payment to you. Never handle or walk away from a machine that has just produced a jackpot winning. Call the attendant or have someone call him/her for you while you wait at the machine.
If you play slots at the same establishment and on a regular basis, try to take note of which machines seem to be paying out more often. If there are any such machines around, you might want to consider playing one at some point. Some of these machines might be positioned in places that are more likely to be noticed. This is so as to attract prospective players.
Consider trying the machine next to you if your machine isn't paying off.
Find out if the venue you intend to play at offers other incentives, such as points, meals, accommodation, etc, that goes with your game play. This however doesn't mean that you should play purely for these secondary benefits.
If your luck seems to be running out, it might be a good idea to stop playing. Many people win large amounts, only to lose their winnings be continuing to play.
Make sure you empty the machine of your credit prior to leaving it. Each year, people accidentally abandon machines that still have their credit inside.
Assign a budget for the day's play. If the budget is lost, you will know when to leave the casino.
Only play with an amount you can afford to lose. Make sure you enjoy the game, even if you do walk away empty handed.
Each machine should have a payout table. This table shows which combinations are winning combinations. It also shows the amount that can be won when a player "spins" a particular winning combination.
Some machines give the player the opportunity to win even more money, through a secondary betting mechanism. For example, the player may be given the opportunity to double their winnings by guessing the color of a hidden card: black or red.
There are generally two kinds of slots machines: standard and progressive. Standard machines function on their own and payout winnings according to their payout table. Progressive machines are a series of machines linked up to each other. These machines share a common jackpot or jackpot values. The shared jackpots grow over time, as more and more people play the machines without winning a jackpot. As you can imagine, these jackpots can become enormous. Linked progressive machines may reside in the same room, same building, anywhere within a city, country or even globally. This is particularly true of Internet-based slots games.

Holiday Parks - Entertainment Breaks In The Uk
Entertainment breaks in the UK take many different forms and have evolved over the years to incorporate top-quality theatre productions, live music, celebrity appearances, cabaret-style shows and variety acts.
The choice of entertainment breaks now on offer, reflects a growing need among holidaymakers for exceptional entertainment.
Holiday resorts are now scaling-up the size and professionalism of their shows and entertainment on offer, to compete with the music and theatre of the West End and the weekend breaks that are available in London.
Many holiday resorts, such as Potters Leisure Resort in Norfolk, now have their own in-house theatre groups that produce top-quality year-round entertainment and theatre productions for guests.
With professional dancers and choreographers, as well as elaborate set designs, costumes and acts, the shows and dances draw back the crowds year after year and ensure a satisfied and loyal customer base.
To comply with guest demand, entertainment breaks often now incorporate guest celebrity entertainers and high-calibre tribute acts in order to ensure that the shows are up-to-date and can provide music from some of popular music’s greatest names and acts.
As well as singing and dancing, audiences look for the complete entertainment package. Many resorts and holiday parks invite comic celebrities along for special evenings. However, a growing trend for securing in-house comedians has meant that many entertainment breaks now often provide comedy throughout the year.
Some holiday resorts have even incorporated new acts that are usually unavailable out of season, such as circus performers and extreme sports and performance displays.
Other resorts have ensured that popular television shows are transferred into tangible shows and displays that guests are keen to see live. For example, Simply Ballroom at Potters Leisure Resort – a spin-off from the television show Strictly Come Dancing, which features some of the show’s performers.
Entertainment breaks in UK holiday resorts have therefore changed considerably from the classic images of in-house entertainment that resonated from shows such as Hi-De-Hi. Instead, the need for competitive, quality entertainment in today’s market has ensured that many resorts now attract guests based purely on the shows and acts that they host.
By combining all these elements under one roof – with food, drink, leisure and accommodation included – entertainment breaks at UK holiday resorts are now some of the most cost-effective ways to enjoy the complete getaway.
Entertainment breaks in the UK have subsequently remained one of the most competitive holiday forms in the short-break market and continue to rival many of the budget short-break destinations that are now available abroad.

Arnold Palmer
Arnold Palmer
Arnold Daniel Palmer (born September 10, 1929) is an American golfer who is generally regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men's professional golf. He has won numerous events on both the PGA Tour and Champions Tour, dating back to 1955. Nicknamed "The King," he is one of golf's most popular stars and its most important trailblazer because he was the first star of the sport's television age, which began in the 1950s. He is part of "The Big Three" in golf along with Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player who are widely credited with popularizing and commercialising the sport around the world.
Palmer won the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998, and in 1974 was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Career outline
Palmer, while enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1953Palmer was born in the Pittsburgh suburb of Latrobe, Pennsylvania. He learned golf from his father Deacon Palmer, who was head professional and greenskeeper at Latrobe Country Club, allowing young Arnold to accompany his father as he maintained the course. He attended Wake Forest University, on a golf scholarship. He left upon the death of close friend Bud Worsham, and enlisted in the Coast Guard, where he served for three years and had some time to continue to hone his golf skills. Palmer gathered himself, and returned to competitive golf. His win in the 1954 U.S. Amateur Championship made him decide to try the pro tour for a while, and he and new bride Winifred Walzer (whom he had met at a Pennsylvania tournament) traveled the circuit for 1955. Palmer won the 1955 Canadian Open in his rookie season, and raised his game systematically for the next several seasons.
Palmer's charisma was a major factor in establishing golf as a compelling television event in the 1950s and 1960s, setting the stage for the popularity it enjoys today. His first major championship win at the 1958 Masters cemented his position as one of the leading stars in golf, and by 1960 he had signed up as pioneering sports agent Mark McCormack's first client. In later interviews, McCormack listed five attributes that made Palmer especially marketable: his good looks; his relatively modest background (his father was a greenskeeper before rising to be club professional and Latrobe was a humble club); the way he played golf, taking risks and wearing his emotions on his sleeve; his involvement in a string of exciting finishes in early televised tournaments; and his affability.
Palmer is also credited by many for securing the status of The Open Championship (British Open) among US players. After Ben Hogan won that championship in 1953, few American professionals had travelled to play in The Open, due to its travel requirements, relatively small prize purses, and the style of its links courses (radically different from most American courses). Palmer was convinced by his business partner Mark McCormack that success in the Open - to emulate the feats of Bobby Jones, Sam Snead and Hogan before him - would truly make him a global sporting star, not simply a leading American golfer. In particular, Palmer travelled to Scotland in 1960, having already won both the Masters and U.S. Open, to try to emulate Hogan's feat of 1953, of winning all three in a single year. He failed, losing out to Kel Nagle by a single shot, but his subsequent Open wins in the early 1960s convinced many American pros that a trip to Britain would be worth the effort, and certainly secured Palmer's popularity among British and European fans, not just American ones.
Palmer won seven major championships:
The Masters: 1958, 1960, 1962, 1964
U.S. Open: 1960
The Open Championship: 1961, 1962
Palmer's most prolific years were 1960-1963, when he won 29 PGA Tour events in four seasons. In 1960, he won the Hickok Belt as the top professional athlete of the year and Sports Illustrated magazine's "Sportsman of the Year" award. He built up a wide fan base, often referred to as "Arnie's Army", and in 1967 he became the first man to reach one million dollars in career earnings on the PGA Tour. By the late 1960s Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player had both acquired clear ascendancy in their rivalry, but Palmer won a PGA Tour event every year up to 1970, and in 1971 he enjoyed a revival, winning four events.
Palmer won the Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average four times: 1961, 1962, 1964, and 1967. He played on six Ryder Cup teams: 1961, 1963, 1965, 1967, 1971, and 1973. He was the last playing-captain in 1963 and captained the team again in 1975.
Palmer was eligible for the Senior PGA Tour (now the Champions Tour) from its first season in 1980, and he was one of the marquee names who helped it to become successful. He won ten events on the tour, including five senior majors.
Palmer won the first World Match Play Championship in England, an event which was originally organized by McCormack to showcase his stable of players. Their partnership was one of the most significant in the history of sports marketing. Long after he ceased to win tournaments, Palmer remained one of the highest earners in golf due to his appeal to sponsors and the public.
Palmer gives President Bush golf tips before being awarded the Presidential Medal of FreedomIn 2004, he competed in The Masters for the last time, marking his 50th consecutive appearance in that event. After missing the cut at the 2005 U.S. Senior Open by twenty-one shots he announced that he would not enter any more senior majors. Since 2007, Palmer has served as the honorary starter for the Masters. He retired from tournament golf on October 13, 2006, when he withdrew from the Champions Tours' Administaff Small Business Classic after four holes due to dissatisfaction with his own play. He played the remaining holes but did not keep score. Palmer's legacy was reaffirmed by an electrifying moment during the 2004 Bay Hill Invitational. Standing over 200 yards from the water-laden 18th green, Palmer, who is known for his aggressive play, lashed his second shot onto the green with a driver. The shot thrilled his loyal gallery and energized the excitable Palmer. He turned to his grandson and caddie, Sam Saunders, and gave him a prolonged shimmy and playful jeering in celebration of the moment.
Palmer has had a diverse golf related business career including owning the Bay Hill Club and Lodge, which is the venue for the PGA Tour's Arnold Palmer Invitational (renamed from the Bay Hill Invitational in 2007), helping to found The Golf Channel, and negotiating the deal to build the first golf course in the People's Republic of China. This led to the formation of Palmer Course Design in 1972, which was renamed Arnold Palmer Design Company when the company moved to Orlando Florida in 2006. Since 1971 he has owned Latrobe Country Club, where his father used to be the club professional.
In 2000, Palmer was ranked the sixth greatest player of all time in Golf Digest magazine's rankings.
According to Golf Digest, Palmer made $1,861,857 in 734 PGA Tour career starts over 53 years; he earned an estimated $30 million off the course in 2008.
He now resides near his golf course, Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Country Club and Lodge, in Orlando, Florida which was originally designed by Dick Wilson.
Palmer's grandson, Sam Saunders, is a professional golfer.

Wins major championships
Wins major championships
Nelson won his first major event at The Masters in 1937, winning by two shots over Ralph Guldahl. During this tournament he shot a first-round 66, which stood as a record as the lowest first round in Masters' history until Raymond Floyd had 65 in the 1976 event. Nelson would subsequently win four more major tournaments, the U.S. Open in 1939, the PGA Championship in 1940 and 1945, and a second Masters in 1942. Nelson had a blood disorder that caused his blood to clot four times slower than normal, which kept him out of military service during World War II. It has sometimes mistakenly been reported that he had hemophilia; this is not true.
During World War II, Nelson gave dozens of golf exhibitions across the country to raise money for charitable causes.
In his career, Nelson won 52 professional events. Nelson won the Vardon Trophy in 1939. He played on the U.S. Ryder Cup teams in 1937 and 1947 and was non-playing captain of the team in 1965. After 1946, Nelson curtailed his schedule, although he continued to make regular appearances at The Masters as a competitor, and later as a ceremonial starter for many years.
Record-breaking year
In 1945 Nelson enjoyed a record-breaking year, winning 18 of 35 PGA tournaments including 11 in a row. Both records are still yet to be beaten. Nelson however lost many chances at major championships during this year, and previous years, because of the war, and only won the 1945 PGA Championship. There has been debate to how impressive these results are, as it was believed to be a weakened tour due to the war. But in reality many of the leading golfers of that time, including Sam Snead and Ben Hogan still played a full or at least part schedule that year. Both Snead and Hogan won multiple times on the tour in 1945. During this year Nelson finished second another 7 times, set a record for the scoring average (68.33 for 18 holes) that was only recently broken (by Tiger Woods in 2000), a record 18 hole score (62), and a record 72-hole score (259, which beat the previous record set by Ben Hogan earlier that year). This year is now known as the greatest single year by a player on the PGA Tour, as Arnold Palmer said: "I don't think that anyone will ever exceed the things that Byron did by winning 11 tournaments in a row in one year." Even more recently, Tiger Woods referred to the year as "one of the greatest years in the history of the sport."
Cut streak
Nelson's record of 113 consecutive cuts made is second only to Tiger Woods' 142. The PGA Tour defines a "cut" as receiving a paycheck, even if an event has no cut per se. In Nelson's era, only the top 20 in a tournament received a check. In reality, Nelson's "113 consecutive cuts made" are representative of his unequaled 113 consecutive top 20 tournament finishes.
Death and legacy
Nelson died Tuesday, September 26, 2006. According to a family friend, Nelson died at his Roanoke, Texas home around noon. He was survived by Peggy, his wife of nearly 20 years, sister Margaret Ellen Sherman, and brother Charles, a professor emeritus at Abilene Christian University, where Byron Nelson had been a trustee and benefactor. Nelson met his second wife, the former Peggy Simmons, when she volunteered at the Bogie Busters celebrity golf tournament in Dayton, Ohio in 1985.
Nelson was often referred to as "Lord Byron," after the English poet by that name, in recognition of his reputation for gentlemanly conduct, a nickname given him by Atlanta sports journalist O. B. Keeler. Many of his obituaries referenced this reputation.
Nelson has several successful years as a television golf commentator. Nelson had a significant role in the development of Tom Watson as a world-class player in the mid-1970s, and had earlier mentored Ken Venturi in the 1950s, while he was a rising star.
Nelson was ranked as the fifth greatest golfer of all time by Golf Digest magazine in 2000. On this list, Jack Nicklaus was first, Nelson's longtime rivals Ben Hogan and Sam Snead were second and third respectively, and Bobby Jones was fourth. A 2009 Sports Illustrated panel ranked him seventh on its list of all-time greatest golfers, behind Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Jones, Hogan, Snead, and Arnold Palmer.
The "Iron Byron" electro-mechanical machine or robot used by the United States Golf Association, as well as golf manufacturers, to compare and test clubs and balls for conformity to standards was named for Nelson, honoring the consistency of his swing.
In Jack Nicklaus's 1978 book On and Off the Fairway, Nicklaus wrote that Nelson was the straightest golfer he ever saw. The two never played competitively, but a 14-year-old Nicklaus was in the crowd of youngsters at the 1954 U.S. Junior Amateur, when Nelson gave an exhibition hitting golf shots.
Posthumous honors
State Highway 114 Business through Roanoke, Texas is named Byron Nelson Boulevard, in honor of Nelson's residence; the street he lived on was recently changed to Eleven Straight Lane in honor of his 1945 record. In Irving, Texas a street immediately adjacent to the Four Seasons Resort and Club, where the HP Byron Nelson Championship is played each year, is named Byron Nelson Lane. A street in Southlake, Texas, Byron Nelson Parkway, was named in his honor, as was a street in a residential neighborhood in McAllen, Texas.
On October 16, 2006, President George W. Bush approved H.R. 4902 awarding Byron Nelson the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest award that can be bestowed by the Legislative Branch of the United States government. The resolution cites Mr. Nelson's "significant contributions to the game of golf as a player, a teacher, and a commentator." Representative Michael C. Burgess (R-TX) sponsored the resolution, originally proposed March 8, 2006, well before Nelson's death. Senate Resolution 602 memorialized Nelson on September 29, 2006.
On April 23, 2007 the Northwest Independent School District named their second high school Byron Nelson High School. This is the first high school named in honor of Byron Nelson, and opened in the fall of 2009. The school is located in Trophy Club, Texas, near Nelson's hometown of Roanoke.

Byron Nelson
Byron Nelson
John Byron Nelson, Jr. (February 4, 1912 ‚œ September 26, 2006) was an American PGA Tour golfer between 1935 and 1946. Nelson and two other well known golfers of the time, Ben Hogan and Sam Snead, were born within seven months of each other in 1912. Although he won many tournaments in the course of his relatively brief career, he is mostly remembered today for having won 11 consecutive tournaments and 18 total tournaments in 1945. He retired officially at the age of 34 to be a rancher, later becoming a commentator and lending his name to the HP Byron Nelson Championship, the first PGA Tour event to be named for a professional golfer. In 1974, Byron Nelson received the Bob Jones Award, the highest honor given by the United States Golf Association in recognition of distinguished sportsmanship in golf.
Nelson became the second recipient of the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997, and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974. He received the 1994 Old Tom Morris Award from the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, GCSAA's highest honor. Nelson received the Congressional Gold Medal shortly after his death in 2006.
Early life and career
Born near Waxahachie, Texas, Byron Nelson was the son of Madge Allen Nelson and John Byron Nelson, Sr. His parents set a precedent for him not only in their long lives ‚ Madge Nelson lived to age 98, and her husband to age 77 ‚ but also in their religious commitment. Madge, who had grown up Baptist, was baptized in a Church of Christ at age 18, and John Byron Sr., raised Presbyterian, was baptized in a Church of Christ soon after meeting Madge. The senior Byron Nelson went on to serve as an elder in the Roanoke Church of Christ, and the younger Byron Nelson was a committed member of that congregation ‚ even performing janitorial services there from time to time long after he became famous ‚ he later placed his membership at the Hilltop Church of Christ in Roanoke from 1989 until 2000 when he moved his membership to the Richland Hills Church of Christ in North Richland Hills, Texas in later life.
When Nelson was 11 years old, the family moved to Fort Worth, where he barely survived typhoid fever after losing nearly half his body weight to the disease, which also left him unable to sire children. Soon after his baptism at age 12, he started caddying at Glen Garden Country Club. On his caddying days, Nelson said, "I knew nothing about caddying at first, but it wasn't difficult to learn. The other caddies, though, didn't like to see any new ones, because that might mean they wouldn't get a job sometime." An article on Nelson in Sports Illustrated noted that initially caddies were not permitted to play at the club: "[H]e would often practice in the dark, putting his white handkerchief over the hole so he could find it in the darkness." The club later changed its policy and sponsored the Glen Garden Caddy Tournament, where a 14-year-old Nelson beat fellow caddy and future golf great Ben Hogan by a single stroke after a nine-hole playoff. Nelson and Hogan were rivals but close friends in their teen years, and for the first part of their professional careers as well, but Nelson's early success was difficult for the struggling Hogan to deal with, and they gradually grew apart, while retaining mutual respect.
In 1934, Nelson was working as a golf pro in Texarkana, Texas, when he met future wife Louise Shofner, to whom he was married for 50 years, before she died in 1985 after two severe strokes.
Championship heyday
Father of the modern golf swing
After turning professional in 1932, Nelson served as a club professional in Texas, and played as many significant tournaments as he could afford, to develop his game. Money was tight, as Texas was hit very hard by the Great Depression. A pair of top-three finishes in important Texas events encouraged him. He then took a club professional's job at the Ridgewood Club in New Jersey in 1935. He worked hard on his game, having earlier realized that with the technological change from hickory to steel shafts, which was gathering momentum in the early 1930s, that the golf swing would have to adapt as well. Nelson was among the first of a new generation of players who developed a full swing with increased leg drive leading the downswing; this is the forerunner of modern golf technique as practised by top players, right to the present day. Nelson is sometimes credited as being the father of the modern golf swing. He refined the changes for a couple of years, and then took his game to the highest level of competition, the PGA Tour. Nelson waited until 1935 to post his first significant victory, at the New Jersey State Open. He followed this up with a win at the Metropolitan Open the following year. He reportedly won this tournament with "$5 in my pocket".
Nelson was hired as the head professional at the Hershey Country Club in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and worked there until 1940, when he took a new job as head pro at the Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio.

This was more than evidenced by his winning the official long drive contest at the 1963 PGA Championship with a belt of 341 yards, 17 inches. This record lasted more than 20 years. He preferred the fade for his ball flight, since it allowed the ball to stop quickly on hard and fast greens. Another factor in this decision was his distance capabilities which were developed enough to allow him to play a fade and still reach long par fours and par fives in two shots. Nicklaus considers his longest drive in competition to be during the final round of the 1964 Masters on the 15th hole where he had less than 160 yards left to the 500 yard par five. He hit an eight-iron slightly over the green for his second shot.
Even though official PGA Tour statistics did not begin until 1980, Nicklaus was consistently the leader in greens hit in regulation through that year displaying great command of the long and middle irons. Indeed, Nicklaus remained in the top six of this category through 1985 ‚œ far from his best playing years. Nicklaus also finished 10th in driving distance and 13th in driving accuracy in 1980 at age 40 which equated to a "Total Driving" composite of 23 ‚œ a statistical level not attained since by a comfortable margin. Nicklaus led this category through 1982. One key to Nicklaus' ball-striking ability and overall power was his exceptional swing tempo. Of this Tom Watson referred to it as Nicklaus' greatest strength in its ability to remain smooth. This proved an asset, especially under pressure, which allowed him to sustain great distance control with his irons.
Nicklaus was also known for his course management skills. He would plan to hit each shot on the most convenient side of the fairway to aid his next shot. Nicklaus was the first player to chart and document yardages on the course. Gary Player states that Nicklaus had "the greatest mind the game has ever known".
While not a great putter, he was able to make the important putts when he needed them. He was also known as a conservative player at times, going for broke only when he needed to. This was especially apparent on the green, where he would often choose to be less aggressive and make sure of an easy two-putt. Nicklaus spoke about this in his autobiography. "I was a fine two-putter, but sometimes too defensive‚too concerned about three-putting‚to go for putts that I probably should have gone for."

Nicklaus had the rare privilege of "dotting the 'i'" of "Script Ohio", the signature formation of the Ohio State University Marching Band, at the Ohio State homecoming game on October 28, 2006 when the Buckeyes played Minnesota; this is considered the greatest honor that can be bestowed on a non-band member. Nicklaus was the fifth non-band member to receive this award. Other recipients include Bob Hope and Woody Hayes. While at Ohio State University, Nicklaus became a member of the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta.

Nicklaus topped the 2009 worldwide list of 35 individuals who were selected by a panel of editors for their ability to influence and impact the business of golf, be it the development of courses and communities, the operation of courses, the equipment used by golfers, or the rules and regulations of the game. Golf Inc. wrote that while the Golden Bear's reign at No. 1 is unprecedented, "the fact is that he keeps adding to his legend, at the design table and in the business world. Despite a worldwide course development slowdown, Nicklaus's design firm has over 40 courses in development around the globe...And he remains perhaps golf's most respected spokesperson on a wide range of issues."

Tour Championship win could net Scott POY
Adam Scott
ATLANTA – It is a measure of how much things have changed that Adam Scott, a half dozen years removed from his lone victory at East Lake, considers this week something of a defining moment of his season.
“It’s been a great year for sure, but I think this week counts so much for me and how the year will be remembered by myself and others, for that matter,” Scott said. “There’s so much to play for. Two trophies here this week. And also potentially throwing my name in a Player of the Year debate, which I think is quite a prestigious honor amongst the company that I play golf against.”
If Scott wins this week’s Tour Championship, and the FedEx Cup, some players have said he would be the most-likely candidate for the Player of the Year Award, which will be announced Sept. 27.
Tour Championship: Articles, videos and photos
Tiger Woods, a five-time winner in 2013, and Phil Mickelson, whose two victories include a major (Open Championship) and the Waste Management Phoenix Open, along with his Scottish Open win on the European Tour, are the other two leading candidates for the award.
In 2006, the year before the FedEx Cup era began, Scott won the Tour Championship, finished second at The Barclays, T-21 in Chicago and T-50 at the Deutsche Bank Championship, but was easily beaten by Woods in the Player of the Year voting. In short, he would have been that season’s FedEx Cup champion.
By comparison, Woods won the Deutsche Bank, tied for second at the Western Open and didn’t play the Barclays or Tour Championship.
Woods meets with Finchem, discusses viewer call-ins
Tiger Woods
ATLANTA – Prior to Tiger Woods’ meet and greet with the media on Wednesday at East Lake he huddled with PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem for about an hour, and although he didn’t elaborate on the conversation his answers afterwards were enlightening.
Woods, who was assessed a two-stroke penalty last week at the BMW Championship after Tour officials reviewed a tape that indicated his golf ball moved on the first hole while he was removing some debris from the area, was asked early in his news conference about possible “call-in” violations from viewers.
“There are certainly a lot more viewer call-ins,” Woods said. “I get it from the first time I step on the range on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, all the way through, and virtually every shot is on something, and some of the top players are getting it. Most players don't get it until they're in the leader groups on Saturday or Sunday.”
On Tuesday, Finchem said the Tour will likely review its policy regarding call-ins – Woods’ infraction last week was discovered by an editor with PGA Tour Productions who reported it to officials – and possible time limitations for reported violations.
The commissioner also addressed the commonly held theme that Woods and other top players are unfairly penalized by call-ins because they are on television more than other players.
“You’ve got 70-some players playing on Sunday, seven or eight or 10 of them can win the golf tournament, (and) 85, 90, 95 percent of the camera time is on those seven or eight players,” Finchem said. “Is that equitable to everything?”
This was Woods’ third run-in with a rule violation this season following similar incidents in Abu Dhabi and at the Masters.
“I can't remember another year in which this has happened like this, but kind of just the way it's been and the way it goes,” Woods said.

Flying with Bradley could mean good things for Kuchar
ATLANTA – Matt Kuchar is hoping the secret to winning the FedEx Cup is being ranked No. 5 entering the Tour Championship – and sharing a flight withKeegan Bradley.
“On the flight down to Atlanta from Chicago – we shared a flight – and Keegan was going over the list of FedEx Cup, where everyone stood,” Kuchar explained. “I was sure that I had been bumped down to No. 6. It looked like [Jim] Furyk and [Steve] Stricker were both passing me last week, bumping me from 4 down to No. 6.
Tour Championship: Articles, videos and photos
“I got on the flight, and they were discussing, I think, Dustin Johnson was last man in at 30. So I asked if I could see his phone and just take a look‑see of where everybody had finished. I was shocked when I saw I was No. 5 and I only got bumped one spot. Keegan says, ‘Wow, that's quite strange.’ It was last year, same exact situation flying down with [Brandt] Snedeker that he thought he was going to be No. 6, and as the points all fell where they did, he ended up in fifth place and went on to win the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup.
“So I'm hoping that somehow there's some sort of fate there with Keegan being the middleman amongst that.”
Woods eyes first Player of Year Award since 2009
ATLANTA – In 2006, Tiger Woods skipped the Tour Championship, won the Player of the Year Award, the money title and virtually every other season-ending award.
On Tuesday at East Lake, the world No. 1 quickly rattled through how times have changed.
“This tournament has a lot of value to it. There are guys who have won a couple times but they've had major championships in there. I've won five times,” Woods said. “It's up for grabs for the Player of the Year (Award), the Arnold Palmer Award, the Vardon Trophy and all those things.”
Woods has won the Player of the Year Award 10 times, but not since 2009, and this week’s finale could separate a field that includes Woods, Adam Scott and Phil Mickelson.
“The Player of the Year Award is something we hold dearly because it's the respect of our peers. It's voted on by our peers,” Woods said. “I've had my years over the course of my career, and hopefully this will be another one.”
