November 2, 2009 By ama

 

Golf was invented in Scotland, and dates back to at least the 17th century, possibly even earlier – the name is believed to come from an Old German word, ‘gowf’, meaning a club or bat. There are many vary old golf courses in Scotland, most famously St. Andrews, but The oldest golf course in the world is Musselburgh Links . It is believed that the reason golf courses today have 18 holes is that St. Andrews only had room for nine, but the early golfers decided to play the course through twice each time.

Save Your Golf Club From This Economy By Not Following The Traditional Methods of Marketing!

October 23, 2009 By ama

Golf clubs across the country are closing down and going out of business across the United States of America at an scary rate. Florida, the state with more golf clubs than any other state, is seeing this more and moreas time goes on. A lot of these “failing” golf communities are blaming the economy, and some are even blaming the current state of the golf world in general; but I see things differently, they should be pointing the finger at themselves.

The golf industry is behind the times in almost every core aspect of running a business in this day and time. Most golf courses still have a website that provides no information, it does not collect any data from people visiting it, and looks like something that my 12 year old daughter could create in a few hours. These golf clubs need to embrace technology and develop a website that both promotes AND generates business. There are a handful of golf marketing businesses that specifically create websites to help generate more business for golf clubs, why aren’t more clubs taking advantage of them?

How Golf Resorts Can Use Their Current Assets to Increase Profits

October 23, 2009 By ama

Florida has many golf resorts. When you want to go golfing in Florida on vacation, chances are that you are going to end up staying at one of the popular golf resorts in the area such as TPC Sawgrass, Champions Gate, Sandestin or PGA National Resort and Spa. All 4 of these places are amazing, and honestly, I really can not say anything bad about TPC Sawgrass.Who really say anything bad about them anyway?

The problem with these four resorts is that they are catering to the same individual all of the time, upper class people making 0,000 plus a year. They don’t allow the real people such as you and I the time of day to come and play at their course, or stay at their resort. Can I blame them… no not really? People are not concerned about the economy and this so called recession, so they are paying the money to stay and play there and they are taking advantage of it just like any good business would do.

Golf Sunglasses

October 22, 2009 By ama

Sunglasses are hugehly popular this time and you even can find sunglasses on people in bad weather! But for golf the sunglasses have an other advantage as well, not just being stylish…
Precision is one of the main demands of golfing and without the right equipment the strikes don’t have the same efficiency. Golf sunglasses are must-have items of a golfer’s apparel. Besides personal comfort, such items allow for good club choices and strike efficiency. Without eye protection, you’d be squinting at the sun incapable to see where the ball reaches on the course. This may sound like an exaggeration but golf sunglasses are necessary no matter the weather: from bright sunshine to overcast days, the action of the ultraviolets will be less harmful.

Golf sunglasses have some special features incorporated. The frames and the lenses could cause a lot of inconveniences if not well chosen. Any golfer depends on a snug fit of the glasses for a good face comfort. Therefore, buy golf sunglasses with light and flexible frames. Try the sunglasses on and see how you feel wearing them. Pay attention to eye protection and the peripheral vision too. Wind and debris could affect visual capacity, therefore, choose some frames that reduce the impact of such factors.
