Visit Antigua in Caribbean Famous for its beaches and its cricket players, tiny Antigua is now one of the Caribbean's most popular destinations. The country has taken full advantage of the publicity gained from its independence in 1981 - and the remarkable success of its cricketers since then - to push its name into the big league of West Indian tourism alongside Barbados and Jamaica. After the British settled the island in the 1600s, it was for centuries little more than a giant sugar factory that produced sugar and rum to send home. Around Antigua, the tall brick chimneys of a hundred deserted and decaying sugar mills bear witness to that long colonial era. Today, though, it is tourism that drives the country's economy; dozens of hotels and restaurants have sprung up around the coastline, there's a smart airport, and a number of outfits run boat and catamaran cruises and scuba-diving and snorkelling trips to the island's fabulous coral reefs. 11:16:15 AM    comment []

In each case, the competitor found herself so close, and yet, just out of reach of what she came to achieve. But while sixth-ranked Jenny Gleason was edged out of earning one of the exempt LPGA Tour cards awarded to the five top-ranked players on the 2005 FUTURES Tour, the native of Clearwater, Fla., feels confident that she can convert her No. 6 ranking into exempt LPGA Tour status at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament, which begins next month. "Of course it was hard swallowing it coming right out of the tournament in York [Pa.]," said Gleason, 25, who completed her second season on the FUTURES Tour this year. "To have remained in the top five for a good part of the season and then to get completely knocked out at the last tournament was tough. I was expecting to get a card. All I can say was 'I was right there.'" Full Story in the News Room>> 11:09:53 AM    comment []
