US Postal Office Passport Information

By Melissa Warner

When planning your trip overseas to play on England's Golf Coast or Canada's Glen Abbey Golf Course, you must have a valid passport to enter the country. Passports can be applied for at post offices or regional passport agencies.

Locations

Passport services are not available at every post office. Be sure to check the official website to see if your local post office offers these services.

Appointment

Call ahead if you are going to the post office to apply because you may need to make an appointment.

Application

To make the process quicker, print off a copy of the application online and have it filled out before going to the post office. Copies are available there as well as at libraries.

Photos

You must bring two passport size photos with you to obtain your passport. If you do not have photos, they can be taken at the post office for an extra fee.

Documents

To apply for your passport have a completed application, identification (drivers license or ID card), proof of citizenship and the appropriate fee.

by Mike Chwasky

And while determining the right loft, lie, length and grip size, among other things, is critical to getting optimal performance from a set of clubs, set makeup can be equally, if not more, important.
