Taiwan Island faces the Pacific to the east, approximately 2,800 kilometers from Guam. It borders Bashi Channel to the south and is 300 kilometers away from the Philippine Islands; to its west is Taiwan Strait, facing Fujian Province on China's mainland. The width of the strait is less than 200 kilometers and the narrowest part is only 130 kilometer; it traverses the sea trough of Okinawa in the northeast and neighbours Ryukyu-gunto. It holds a strategic point of communication on the north-south sea of China and the communications hub of West Pacific shipping line, and constitutes the natural barrier of China's south-east sea waters and the communication pivot of contacts among countries in the Pacific region. Taiwan is a multi-island:- 1) The Taiwan island proper and its scattering islands, such as Hongtou Isle, Huoshao Isle, Guishan Isle altogether 14 isles attach to it. 2) The Penghus made up of 64 islands.

The mountainous area is very precipitous; there are 7 mountain peaks of over 3800 meters each above sea level. Many rivers rise in the mid-mountainous area and flow into the sea in all directions. Because of the steep gradient, the discharge of the rivers is in abundance. There are also different kinds of sea coasts and the topography of mudstone appearing in all their glory and the corals protruding out in the air, unfolding a magnificent picture of their great beauty and majesty. Taiwan belongs to the tropical and subtropical zones, with the Tropic of Cancer running through its middle. However, being surrounded by seas in all sides, Taiwan is embraced by the Pacific Ocean. The majority of Taiwan region falls in the temperate and humid maritime climate zone. As is influenced by the maritime monsoon, Taiwan has neither severe winter nor has it intense heat of summer. The forests remain verdant luxuriantly green and the flowers blossom in all seasons. Taiwan is also characterized by abundant rainfall and violent typhoon. Taiwan is rich in more than 110 kinds of minerals with coal, petroleum, natural gas, gold, silver copper and sulphur as its main resources. It is also extremely rich in terrestrial heat, a great variety of plants and the forest vegetation occupies 52% of the land area of the whole island, capturing the first place in all China. It is rich in aquatic resources too and the output of Taiwan's coral occupies about 80% of the world total production, winning the fame of "The Kingdom of Coral". Taiwan is also one of the main regions which exports butterflies in the world. Taiwan is economically developed. Industries are flourishing mainly in the fields of computer products, textile, electronic appliances, foodstuff processing, chemicals, petrochemicals, metal smelting, the manufacture of the means (Kaohiung), Taichung, Tainan, Hsinchu and Chiayi are the major cities.

The course was ranked No. 2 in Alabama last year by the magazine . Travel + Leisure Golf magazine ranks Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, N.C., as the "Best U.S. Golf Resort" in a 2005 reader survey. Golf is the cruelest game, because eventually it will drag you out in front of the whole school, take your lunch money and slap you around. ~Rick Reilly, "Master Strokes," Sports Illustrated CBS Sports reaches a new agreement with the PGA of America to extend broadcast rights of the PGA Championship through 2011. Augusta National May Be Brutal for Upcoming Masters When the best players in the world return to Augusta National for the 2006 Masters theyll encounter the longest course in its history. Another 155 yards have been added to six holes, and the course now extends 7,445 yards 520 yards longer than it was in 1999. The latest makeover is the third in the past seven years. Augusta National now ranks as the second-longest course in major championship history, trailing only the 7,514-yard Whistling Straits in Wisconsin, where the 2004 PGA Championship was held. In addition to more yardage, moving back the tees has created tighter landing areas for drives. As an example, the par-3 fourth now measures 240 yards, 35 yards longer than last year. Defending champion Tiger Woods recently added a 5-wood to his bag in preparation for what appears to be a very tough one-shotter. Well, four is brutal, Wood said almost resignedly. Other holes affected by the increased length are the seventh, a whopping 85 yards longer than in 1999. Now stretching 455 yards, the hole features a view to the green that is framed by tall pine trees which appear to be closing in on each side Hootie Johnson, the chairman of Augusta National who ordered the changes, doesnt think players will be alarmed by the changes. These are the greatest players in the world, so I wouldnt expect them to be frightened, Johnson said.
