I agree! If you know any quilters out there, Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting is a great online meetup spot; lessons, free stuff, designs, chat, etc.

Some parts of the website is free and some are by subsription; my teen subscribes to their magazine and we traveled to their store in Winterset, Iowa a few yrs ago. She loved it. Here Culinary Arts teacher is also a quilter, so they always have lots to share. I will try to find my old bookmarks from another group;D

Can't help with the golfers, but one the oldest and most respected wildlife migration and habitat study groups is Journey North.

They have an entire section of work with a variety of animals, including RAPTORS, whales, Monarch butterflies, and many others. Journey North organizers present cool science projects like the tulip growing, Mystery Classroom, etc for classes to join. A teacher can pick as few or as many of these project as they want to participate in.

While the Journey North project started as a way to study the Monarch butterfly migration in North America, it has gone global. Kids and teachers in classes all over the world participate in many of the activities like Mystery Classroom and Tulip Growing (phenology) experiments.
