My good friend Rich at Eat Golf has been working very hard on a golf course directory of all the courses in the US.
Rich is some kind of super geek and when he gets his mind set on something he gets it done. I remember him mentioning this idea and literally what seemed like a few weeks later he had it done.
I’ve been considering adding a list of courses to my Master Links Section, but it would be pointless to do that when I could just send you to the Eat Golf Course Directory.
The directory obviously gives you a map and directions to courses in the area you select, but also instantly gives you other info about that course such as the current weather conditions, whether or not it has a range and practice facility and more.
Users can help Rich get this database’s info better updated by inputting their own details on courses they know about, and adding their own comments.
Very well done Rich. Very well done indeed.

Advertising on blogs is becoming more and more popular as blogs become more and more popular. For example Audi was able to spend a one half of one percent of their ad budget in blogs which generated 29% of their traffic. That’s quite a return on investment.
"... by using blogs, we were able to highlight the tech aspects of the car, the action-adventure premise of the campaign itself and we could connect to people on all these levels apart from Audi’s normal messaging.â€
The blog component of their campaign was one half of one percent of the marketing spent and generated (ready for this?) 29% of the traffic to the Web site.
There’s no reason at all that this same principle can’t apply in the golf world.
Gotta have a great golf bag. Ogio makes some of the best golf bags out there. The Ogio Grom stand bag is a great choice.
The technology that goes into Ogio gear is cutting edge. And their design team thinks of the coolest things…
