Three Las Vegas Luxury Golf Courses Choose OpenDNS to Keep Their DNS Service on Par
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 21, 2007 -- OpenDNS, the award-winning DNS provider that makes the Internet safer, faster, smarter and more reliable, today announced Walters Golf switched to OpenDNS from its ISP's DNS service. Walters Golf is the owner and operator of several luxury golf courses in Las Vegas, Nev., including Royal Links Golf Club, Bali Hai Golf Club and Desert Pines Golf Club. The company's courses have received numerous awards of distinction, such as Bali Hai being recognized as "One of America's Top Resort Courses" by GolfWeek; Royal Links as "One of America's Top Golf Courses" by Zagat and Desert Pines Golf Club as "One of the Best New Courses" by Golf Digest. OpenDNS is the world's-largest, fastest-growing DNS service.
Walters was prompted to make the switch to OpenDNS by repeated instances of its DNS being "poisoned" with incorrect information. With more than 500 individuals on staff and a business that is reputed on service, faulty DNS and consequentially slow and unreliable Internet is simply unacceptable for the organization.
"I knew there had to be something more reliable," said Dan Withrow, Director of Technology Services for Walters Golf. "We switched to OpenDNS for its clean DNS records with misspelling corrections and suggested alternatives when users type in an unknown or unavailable Web site."
Walters is currently using OpenDNS for all Web DNS requests originating from all corporate locations and mail routing. OpenDNS has provided Walters with 100 percent Internet uptime and freed its employees from annoying Internet outages.
"The service provided by OpenDNS has been extremely reliable," said Withrow. "And the DNS issues with our current bandwidth provider are completely resolved."

Golf - Principles Of The Game
In a golf course, we find bunkers and water bodies. We wonder why they are there in the course. They are called hazards or obstacles, laid in the golf course to make the game more difficult for the players. Depressions are created in the ground and filled with sand. Water hazards may be a pond or a stream. Golfers try to avoid such hazards, but if the ball lands in hazards, the player hits the ball if it is playable otherwise lifts the ball out and plays or plays another ball. If the player uses another ball, he is penalized and one more stroke is added to his score.
