Kent H asked:


This is an 18 hole golf course that I need to come up with a different contest on each hole. I have been asked to not use the same premise more than twice. So longest drive, longest putt, closest to the pin are going to be 6 of the holes. I am also going to do closest to marker in fairway. I just need some more ideas. Thanks is advance.

Allie asked:


OK so I am going to buy a baseball and golf video game and need some opinions. I know some games are really great and some are awful! I need one that is the easiest and most fun to play with good graphics and fun game modes. Here are a few I have heard of and need to know if they are any good: MLB The Show 08, The Bigs(which i have never heard of but looks fun), and MLB 2k7. As for golf I really dont know. Also this is for PS2. Thanks everyone!

I am planning on traveling south on I-95 to play some random golf courses that wont break the bank. There are 2 of us making this venture starting March 5 and ending March 10th. I do not feel like driving south of north carolina. We are leaving from Philadelphia. I also do not want to venture too far off of 95.

2 days after my B day :) asked:


Please help me set up the equations!!!! I have a lot of trouble with “let” statements and things like that

A store sells the Red Dot golf balls for 60 cents each, the Black Dot balls for 94 cents each and the Gold Dot ball for $1.10 each. A golf pro bought two dozen more Red Dot than Gold DOt balls and three times as many Black Dot as Red Dot balls. If the golf balls and one dollar’s worth of tees cost 140.50, how many gold balls of each kind were bought?
