The city of Palm Beach Gardens is suitably named, as it is comprised of 30 percent flourishing greenery. Located seven miles north of West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens is known for its excellent shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities at the Gardens Mall, Downtown at the Gardens, and Legacy Place. Boating and fishing are plentiful, as are beautiful luxurious waterfront homes, some even sitting directly on the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, if not the Intracoastal Waterway.

The College of Golf is moving its facility from Port St. Lucie to West Palm Beach.

The Keiser University run College of Golf and Sports Management will move this fall to the newly acquired Keiser University complex on Military Trail in West Palm that was formerly the campus of Northwood University.

With it will come the 400 students that come from all over the world for the program.

“I met a Korean student five years ago who is coming next spring and bringing six friends with her,” longtime instructor Donna Horton White said to the Palm Beach Post. “We also have people coming from China, South America, Puerto Rico and Poland.”

Dr. Arthur Keiser, Chancellor and CEO of Keiser University had been looking to get a campus in the northern Palm Beach…

Around 6am ET on Monday morning, Rory Mcllroy posted a picture to his Instagram in a walking boot and on crutches. The post had a caption that said “Total rupture of left ATFL (ankle ligament) and associated joint capsule damage in a soccer kickabout with friends on Saturday. Continuing to assess extent of injury and treatment plan day by day. Rehab already started..... Working hard to get back as soon as I can.”

Rehab time can range anywhere from 10 days to 6 weeks depending on the severity of the sprain. That puts not just the next few weeks, but the remainder of the 2015 season in doubt for the Palm Beach Gardens resident.

Mcllroy was scheduled to play the Scottish Open this week and his name has already been removed from the published field…

Golf.com and Sports Illustrated ranked all 50 states by their “Golfiness” and the state of Florida was given the top spot on the list. The list, compiled by Golf.com’s travel expert Joe Passov, was done by rating each state on a 0-50 scale in four categories: avidness of golfers, quantity and quality of courses, legacy/vibe, and Joe’s own rating.

Joe’s had this to say in his description of Florida:

“‘My parents didn't want to move to Florida, but they turned 60 and that's the law,’ joked Jerry Seinfeld. There are many reasons why so many PGA Tour pros from Europe and the U.S. make Florida their home: No state income tax, more courses (1,042) than any other state, terrific facilities and superb weather nearly year-round. The state also hosts a…

As one of South Florida’s most natural thrills, it is always amazing to most that some 3,000 enormous sea turtles still lumber onto South Florida’s beaches at night to lay their eggs.  
Every summer, March through October, our pristine beaches are decorated with neon colored tape and signs to show where these ancient creatures have buried their nest.

Under the pale light the moon shines onto the beaches, turtle nesting season is such an awe-inspiring scene to watch. As the sea turtles wade their way up to the beach to dig holes in the sand and lay their eggs to then disappear back into the deep blue.
Up and down the beautiful Atlantic Coast, you can witness this amazing spectacle yourself as many environmental groups and parks organize the summer nighttime…

May is here and bringing in the heat along with warmer water temperatures!

Offshore- The big bite happening offshore this week in South Florida is definitely kingfish, averaging in at 30-50 pounds. In the range of 100-200 ft. of water, the best bait to use if you are trying to target these silver kings are live goggle eyes or sardines. However, if you prefer trolling the offshore waters, break out your downriggers and run a split tail mullet or artificial ribbonfish to attract the fish’s attention.
Dolphin and Wahoo are in a little deeper of 200-350 ft. of water and anglers may have to work a little harder to find these fish at these depths and some reports say dolphin are in much deeper as 800-1200 ft.  Mix up your bait spread a bit with natural and…

The Players Championship might not be a major, just don't tell that to anyone that plays on the PGA Tour.

Regularly called "The Unofficial Fifth Major", The Players Championship held at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL is the strongest full field PGA Tour event on the season. Like the European Tour's equivalence of the BMW PGA Championship, The Players Championship is the flagship event on the PGA Tour, held on the grounds of the PGA Tour's offices, and features the largest prize purse of any Tour event.

One of the other things the event does is give us some of the best pairings of the calendar year for Thursday and Friday and 2015 is no exception. In fact, Finchem and Co have given us some absolute monster pairings that will certainly wet the…
