Beginning with its January/February 2004 issue, Travel + Leisure Golf proudly welcomed Greg Norman as a Columnist. He was the sports defining player in his prime, but more than any other player, Norman extended his range. In his most recent column, Norman explains how an environmentally responsible course can also be more fun to play. Prior to its recent rise in popularity, golf, rightly or wrongly, had the reputation of being exclusive and excessive. It was described as a sport for the wealthy that was played on grounds that were "artificial." Environmentalists frequently portrayed golf courses as "chemical wastelands." With no other frame of reference, the general public had no choice but to believe what it was hearing.

Tournament host Greg Norman studied the cast of world-class players that will compete in the 16th annual Franklin Templeton Shootout and assembled 11 stellar teams that will attempt to dethrone defending champions Hank Kuehne and Jeff Sluman, November 10-14 at Tiburon Golf Club and The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples.

Tune into Shark.com each Thursday for a recap of every victory -- from the 1976 West Lakes Classic to the 2001 Skins Game. In total, Norman has won 86 professional events around the world, including two British Open Championships and 20 U.S. PGA Tour titles
