Tee it up with golf package

Dream 18 package

Sportswriter Randy King talks about the best 18 holes in the Roanoke area.

Although the weather has indicated otherwise lately, spring has arrived in Southwest Virginia. That means it's time for outdoor sports and activities.The sports department will be featuring a 16-page golf preview guide with the paper's April 15 edition (this Sunday).The centerpiece package is on the best 18 holes in the region, as determined by a group of local golfers and compiled by sportswriter Randy King.

For the online part, graphic artist Grant Jedlinsky and web producer Hunter Wilson cooked up an interactive piece that features descriptions for each of the 18 holes and video of Randy talking about each one.

Randy's no stranger to video, given his regular appearances on the Sports TimesCast and his video golf tips from 2006. There's also a full course guide and schedule of area tournaments.
