www.TheGolfSpace.com one month birthday/report
My latest golf/web creation, The Golf Space, is now one month old. The Golf Space is a social networking site primarily for golfers, golf courses and people or companies in the golf business. The full description is in this post.
Month one report, stats etc.
The Golf Space has had 374 members sign up in the first month of operation. That is awesome.
Over 23,000 unique visitors visited the site in the first month. Unique visitors are different and much more important than “hits.” The hit number would be several times the visit number.
Site authors and/or users posted 240 news articles or blogs with the built in user blog system.
Members submitted 49 golf related web links to their own sites or golf related sites they like. Any member may submit links to the links section.
TGS users created 51 of their own photo galleries and they posted 316 photos which have been viewed over 3000 times.
The most viewed profile is some hack named Tony at http://www.thegolfspace.com/tony …Viewed over 700 times. (Helps to be the site admin I guess). Too bad they’re not all hot golfer chicks wanting a date or some very personal swing instruction…
The user with the most friends/connections is GolfDiscussions with 118.
New feature: Online personal golf records
A newer feature I’ve implemented to The Golf Space is personal golf records for each user. In the user’s profile the latest rounds of that user can be seen.
Since I put in this new custom feature a couple of weeks ago there have been 81 rounds entered into the score keeper.
I’m working on a full blown stats/handicap engine for the site which I’ll install as soon as I can.
Affiliations
TGS has made affiliations with several other golf sites and many golf companies already. That’s what networking is all about. Contact me to become an affiliate!
Conclusion/Future
I’d say it was an awesome first month. Many golf blogging friends have been kind enough to mention TGS in blog posts. If you haven’t yet, please spread the word and add The Golf Space to your blogrolls!
I have some new features planned for the future like profile comments, golf stats and more. Stay tuned.
Earl Woods dies at 74
“My dad was my best friend and greatest role model, and I will miss him deeply.” ~Tiger Woods
Having lost a mother and a good golfing buddy in the last couple of years to cancer I can relate to what Tiger is feeling right now.
Tiger, I know you read my blog :-). I send my best wishes.
1st round with the TM TP Black ball
I played yesterday in a pretty harsh wind. I bogeyed two easy downwind par 5’s but still carded a 74.
I played the round with the new TaylorMade TP Black golf ball. Unfortunately on #5 I lost one…
First impressions are this ball feels the same as the Red. It’s the longer of the two but doesn’t feel hard like the V1x does. It feels soft and travels a mile.
The best feel however is when you strike it well with the irons. It’s butter.
I’ll have a full review coming soon, but so far TM’s has got two winners in my book with the Red and Black TP balls.
Daly has lost $50-$60 million gambling
I guess we consumers aren’t getting enough of John Daly because he’s coming out with an autobiography soon.
In the book he describes how he’s lost $50-$60 million gambling and how he’d win $750,000 in a tournament and then go to Vegas and lose twice that much.
His sponsorship money was going straight to the casinos to pay off his debts. Remember that short period where JD was a Callaway player? There was a rumor that Cally signed him and paid off $10 million of his debts.
I believe it. Back in the early HOG days I wrote a post about the time I spent gambling with JD in the tiny little state line town of Wendover. I was grandfathered into the table at $25/hand while JD was playing two hands at $500/hand or more.
JD and I were the only two players there and we sat and talked for about 3 hours. Pretty cool. Funniest part was that he wasn’t drinking at the time and he was a basket case. He had a cigarette in each hand at one point and didn’t even know it.
Here’s some irony… I wonder if JD’s publisher HarperCollins is paying off any of his gambling debts?
Rac MB irons now on the TM web site
Remember those cool new irons I wrote about from TaylorMade that weren’t even shown on the TM web site? We’ll they’re there now:
The other thing I didn’t know about them was what they’re called! I now know they’re the RAC MB TP Irons. One this is sure, they’re the irons with the most abbreviations in their name. 🙂
Reading over the specs I noticed that these are listed as “low” launch. I’m amazed because I’m a low ball hitter and I was hitting these things very high….which is good.
