Short Hills/Summit Golf Imagine finding yourself in the company of the greats of professional golf. It could happen when you T-off at one of the beautiful golf courses in the Short Hills or Summit area. But if the game is what matters to you, you’ll enjoy getting the speed of the greens while you chat with other golfers who share your enthusiasm for the game. Keeping company with scratch golfers, whether you are one or not, will naturally ensure that your game continues to improve. If you doubt that New Jersey has what it takes to please you as a golfer, consider these facts: • David Chmiel, editor in chief of Senior Golfer magazine and author of several books on golfing lives in nearby Maplewood • The annual PGA Championships were held in New Jersey in 2004 • Since golf is about being the best you can be, you’ll find lots of other remarkable players among the community in this part of New Jersey When you live in the Short Hills/Summit area you won’t need to book yourself on a golfing vacation. You can enjoy what you love most any day of the week year-round! It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for a quick round of golf, or a full eighteen holes, there are plenty of superb golf courses here. In fact there is an eyebrow-raising number of award-winning professional golf courses to choose from. You’d be hard put not to find at least one golf course that you absolutely love within 15 miles of Short Hills or Summit. This fact is undoubtedly a result of the laws of supply and demand. Successful people represent the greater part of the Short Hills/Summit area community, and it’s no secret that high achievers overwhelmingly choose golf as a medium for letting off steam and getting some exercise. What other sport allows you to relax while you’re developing your skills? Remember that golf is great for all the family. If you’d like to encourage your child as a golfer, there are even a number of junior links in New Jersey. Just one more reason to contact me, Robin Benjamin, and get the ball rolling so you can locate that perfect piece of property that’s just waiting for you in New Jersey! With years of experience, I know just what it takes to present you with a golf home that will fulfill all of your needs. Not too close to the fairway naturally, but close enough that you can indulge your favorite sport whenever the mood takes you. Not too close to amenities, but then again not so far out that you’re out of touch. Canoe Brook in Summit is wildly popular. The 87th PGA championships were held at Baltrusol, 2004. These are only two of our many competative courses available.  Local Golf Clubs

First Time Buyers >The Perfect House
Home buyers must often deal with deferred maintenance or repairs. For example, you may have found a terrific house and like many competent home buyers, you included a structural inspection contingency in your purchase agreement. What happens when you find out that your "perfect" house needs some work? Do you ask the sellers to pay for the repairs? Before you answer "yes", there are some important considerations.
Some contracts require that all of the home's systems, such as plumbing, heating, electrical and central air conditioning, be in working order. In this case, the sellers may be obligated to repair any problems with these systems. Leaky roofs, damp basements, or other structural problems may not be covered, however. If you ask the sellers to make these types of repairs, you may void the contract by doing so. The sellers might prefer to negotiate the repairs to keep from losing the sale. If there are other buyers waiting in the wings with back-up contracts, you run the risk of losing the home.
