The 30-year-old moved to minus-six with a birdie on the par-four 15th. Edfors stumbled to the third bogey of his round at the 16th, then closed with a birdie at the last to grab share of the lead.

 

Englishman Luke Donald leads a group tied in ninth place at three-under-par 68. Among the 13 others at minus-three are Jamie Donaldson, Hale Irwin, Raphael Jacquelin, Barry Lane and Carl Pettersson.

 

Defending champion Tim Clark and Order of Merit leader David Howell are part of a large group tied in 23rd at two-under-par 69.

 

One of the premier trade magazines for professional meeting planners, Meetings South describes its readers as “groomed in all things hospitality.” Each year, readers choose 15 meeting sites that consistently exceed their expectations.

 

Criteria for the awards include: quality of meeting space; guest rooms; guest services and amenities; food and beverage service; hi-tech services and equipment; recreational facilities and activities; the efficiency and helpfulness of staff; and overall value and experience.

 

Pawleys Plantation was named one of the “Stars of the South” by Meetings South readers in 2003. It is also rated as a four star facility in Golf Digest’s Places To Play. Four stars means that the resort’s golf course is “Outstanding -- plan your next vacation around it.”

 

Conveniently located near a wide variety of cultural and recreational amenities, Pawleys Plantation is approximately one hour from Charleston, S.C., a city well known for its Southern grace and charm; the historic port of Georgetown, S.C., is less than 15 minutes south on U.S. 17. More than 100 golf courses and 1,000 restaurants are in nearby Myrtle Beach.

 

Tucson, AZ (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) July 14, 2006 -- Since its launch in 2005 by three Tucsonans, http://www.dotcomtucson.com has gone through two major design changes, and added hundreds of new pages with exactly the content visitors asked for the most. And now, it offers the city's best calendar of events.

 

While the trend has been (and is) for large Internet companies to manufacture clone-style city portal websites, the creators of Dot Com Tucson took the road less traveled. "A city's website should be created by people who live and work in the city – people who care about the city – people who know the city!" Says Beverly Sidell-Fish, founder of Dot Com Tucson.

Betting the NFL preseason

Rule No. 1 in the gamblers' handbook states, "Avoid sports betting on meaningless games."

When you're drowning in a sea of baseball monotony, however, things change. Even a hint of pro football betting can persuade the most disciplined bettor to break a few rules. 

The NFL preseason is around the corner, with a tempting Hall of Fame match kicking off on Sunday. But bettors must stay vigilant. Wagering on NFL exhibition games is an entirely different beast than the regular season. Most fans don't recognize the players on the field because starters get as much action in August as Warcraft fans get on Prom night.

The only certainty about the NFL this time of year is uncertainty – and yet there are some who say betting in August can be a gold mine.

“I actually feel the NFL preseason presents solid profit opportunities for sharp bettors and handicappers,” Sports Expert Steve Merril explains. “My experience has been that the sportsbooks fear the preseason, which is evident by lower limits and massive moves.”

The line moves are attributed to the limited knowledge available regarding playing-time distribution. One team’s top unit out on the field for one more series has an impact on the pointspread. Setting lines in the preseason often is a shot in the dark.

“We base the betting lines mostly on public perception,” Pete Korner, founder of the Sports Club in Las Vegas, says. “It’s very tough to predict, almost a guessing game.”

The preseason is all about figuring out who’s in and for how long.

“It becomes a race between bettors and oddsmakers to find out how long the quarterbacks are going to stay in,” Korner admits. “If a sharp gets the information first, he could exploit an early line. I’m a full believer in moving the line in the preseason if the books find out something late in the week.”

Determining what each team’s motive is can help bettors handicap. To do this you must pay close attention to the philosophies head coaches employ in exhibition play.

“You need to know what a coach is trying to accomplish,” says Covers Expert Bryan Leonard. “Sometimes a new coach will want to instill a winning attitude. Others just want to make sure their starters don’t get hurt."

So how do you distinguish who’s playing scared and who’s playing for keeps?

“Head coaches on the hot seat or new coaches trying to implement a winning attitude usually try harder to win in the preseason,” Merril says.

Cleveland Browns head coach Romeo Crennel fits this criteria. He’s entering his third season as the sideline boss and has yet to lead the Browns to more than six wins.

Cleveland is an enticing bet as well because of the unresolved quarterback situation. General manager Phil Savage sacrificed the Browns’ first-round pick in next year’s draft for Brady Quinn, but the former Notre Dame quarterback hasn’t signed or reported to training camp yet.

Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson split time at QB last season and it looks like either player (or even Quinn) could be the opening-day starter.

“If a team has quarterback depth and the pecking order hasn’t been decided, it’s a big advantage,” Leonard says.

Even in the third week of the preseason when starters generally play the most, the final outcome of the game is in the hands of fringe players. A team's talent, all the way down to the last man on the roster, is something to consider.

The New England Patriots have long been considered one of the deeper teams in the NFL and coach Bill Belichick has said in the past he’s unafraid of stars getting hurt in games with nothing on the line. He shocked his colleagues in 2003 by playing some of his starters on special teams in the preseason.

“We want to have the team ready to play a tough, physical game and preparation has to go into that and I imagine a certain amount of injuries go with it,” Belichick told the Providence Journal in August 2003.

Bettors can only hope to find more teams that share the Pats' business-like approach to the preseason (New England is 17-9-3 against the spread since 2000) and take advantage of teams who detest the exhibition schedule.
