Making air travel "simple again" was one of the themes I came away with at today's ribbon cutting ceremony for SKYBUS Airlines at the St Johns County Airport in St Augustine, Florida. It was a dedication ceremony for the first commercial air terminal. SKYBUS introduced commercial flights to St. Augustine on July 18, 2007. The service is between Columbus, Ohio and St. Augustine. Perhaps you might wonder why I would be so excited about a commercial airline coming to St Augustine as a real estate professional. Beside the fact that I moved to St Augustine from Columbus, Ohio and the fact that I still own my home in Columbus, Ohio and that this makes sense for me personally to have a convenient, cost...

What's the difference between a hazard marked with red and yellow stakes? Think of it this way: When you splash down in a yellow-staked hazard, your next shot has to be struck from the side away from the hole. There's none of that, "I saw it hit the bank on the other side, up by the green." Whether it flew in or bounced backwards, it doesn't matter. So man up and understand that you have to clear the water successfully, no matter how many shots it takes. If you can't find the ball in a yellow-staked hazard, you have two options under Rule 26.
