Executive Summary

            This is a remarkable book about how to change things when change is hard. It can be about you, a job, friends, or even family. Change is very difficult and hard to do without a little motivation. The book helps you to look at things in a different way than you had before. Seeing the good things about why you should change and why it was better before.

            One way Dan and Chip Heath, the authors, explained it in the book was that we have two parts to us. We have the emotional side (the Elephant) and the rational side (the Rider). Most of us think that the Rider always controls the Elephant, but in most cases it’s the other way around. The Elephant somehow ends up controlling the Rider. It’s like they talked about in the book, about someone trying to go on a diet. Your Rider side wants to look slimmer and eat healthier but your Elephant side loves those cookies and fast food. The Rider and Elephant both need to be on the same page to be able to work together but usually this isn’t the case.  Your heart may want one thing but your mind may want another. That is the Rider and the Elephant at war.

Golf is said to be the game of nobles. Over a period of time, the game has developed into a craze for players from all over the world. In 1958 The International Golf Federation was instituted. The sole aim of the setting up of this body was to promote awareness and game spirit among the people. After decades the game has been widely played in almost 110 countries around the globe. The federation has been recognized as the representative of the golf sport by the International Olympic Committee. Though the federation does not have a large organization, yet with the help and cooperation of national bodies of many countries the federation has been successful in promotion of golf on a wide scale. The federation was renamed as World Amateur Golf Council in 2003. The sole purpose of the federation is to organize the amateur competitions for men and women after every two years.

The body tried to get the golf included in 2012 Olympic Games but could not get it approved. However, the International Olympic Committee has accepted it to be part of 2016 Olympic Games by 63 votes in favour and only having 27 against the proposal.

The Amelia Island Plantation is one of the most popular of these courses. Located in Amelia Island on the northern coast of Jacksonville, this plantation features various different courses. Oak Marsh is one of the top courses here. It is known for its impressive salt marsh creeks and its short play of about 6580 yards. The shorter Ocean Links course, which is only about six thousand yards in total, is another challenge. The Long Point course is one that is open only to resort guests and has been host to various amateur and professional qualifying tournaments.

The northern beaches of Destin are also popular. A public golf course is available at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa. Also in Destin is the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. There are four different golf courses that offer special discounts to American Express cardholders. Many of these courses can be found right alongside the nearby Choctawhatchee Bay.
