With courses named "Hammerhead" and "Great White," one might expect treacherous water hazards or maybe a lifeguard on duty at each hole. Instead, the aquatic names of Tiburon Golf Club's links belie their lolling hills, ample foliage, and predator-free lakes. All three courses are par-36, nine-hole jaunts, with yardage from the back tees ranging between 3,422 and 3,525 yards. Tiburon's signature hole—Hammerhead's third—requires a well-placed tee shot to navigate a tricky fairway bunker to the left and out-of-bounds to the right. From there, golfers face a downhill approach over a lake to reach a narrow green on the far side. Tiburon also hosts a driving range with laser-measured targets and PGA instruction from the likes of three-time Nebraska PGA Player of the Year Jon Petersen. After a long day on the links, golfers can stop by Sharks Sports Bar and Grill for drinks, burgers, and other American eats.

Bill Scheller took a leap into an untested space when he registered the domain name GolfClubs.com in 1995. The internet was still a big, giant question mark, but whereas most golf stores were constrained by space and stocked a limited amount of equipment, clothing, and robo-caddies, physical space was not an issue on the wild frontier of e-commerce. Bill set out to assemble the biggest selection number of irons, drivers, and apparel on the planet and couple that selection with great customer service. Though the GolfClubs.com homepage looks different than it did in 1995, Bill's original vision remains the same. Golfers of all stripes can look to the website for equipment from major brands such as Callaway, TaylorMade, and NIke—indeed, just about anything that helps them play the game they love. Players can also head to the company's brick-and-mortar location in Portland to sample that same selection in person instead of online.

Golf instructor Micheal Charles believes the process of learning golf should be as enjoyable as playing the game itself. From an early age, Charles became immersed in a life of athletic pursuits. His father was an international soccer star and a former head Olympic coach. Though Charles preferred golf over soccer, he still went on to an impressive career as a professional tournament winning player, as head coach of Lewis & Clark College and the University of Portland Women's Golf Team, and his current role instructing at Eastmoreland Golf Course. Instruction plans include private lessons to tighten individual aspects of the client's game and playing lessons where Michael plays alongside students while analyzing their course management skills and providing feedback on how to win any impromptu golf cart race.
