I have SO many golf products to review it’s getting crazy.

Yesterday I took my cameras, stands and a ton of golf stuff over to the course and set up to shoot a bunch of pics and video of many of these golf products. It was really hot and humid out there. About 1.5 hours into it I bent over to pick up something and I got dizzy and darn near collapsed! I think I was dehydrated.

Many golf product reviews in the queue with tons of pictures and videos so stay tuned.

The Golf Space logs 1,000,000th visitor

golf space golf social networking My “other” site is called The Golf Space. TGS is a free golf networking and community site. I’d say it’s everything for golfers that myspace is for strippers and teenagers, only without the porn and spam…

At TGS each member (over 2300 now) has his or her own profile, blog, matchmaker, photo galleries, golf equipment list, game overview, golf stats, golf records and a zillion more items. TGS also has monthly contests and golf prize giveaways from TGS sponsors.

Anyone, even other golf networking sites, can have a free account and network themselves or their products and services. Unlike many golf forums and sites out there, I don’t “ban” people just because they have a product or service that competes with a site sponsor and I don’t “ban” people because they are or aren’t affiliated with other golf sites who consider themselves “competitors.”

1,000,000

Some time while I was asleep last night the 1,000,000th visitor stopped by The Golf Space. TGS opened during Masters week 2006, so that puts the average at about 64,000 visitors per month. That’s “visitors” and not “hits.” Hits would be in the zillions…

I’m very happy to provide a free resource for golfers like TGS and I’m very happy to see the growth since it’s all from word of mouth advertising. TGS has no paid ads out there and mostly relies on new members generated by HOG and by other member referrals.

Spam free since December 2006

During the first half year or so TGS was hacked and brought down, and some spammers got in. They were posting erectile dysfunction spam, porn spam and other garbage. I implemented several countermeasures, like captcha and the “favorite pro golfer” fields to the profiles as a result. I’m happy to say those spammers haven’t gotten through since December 2006.

Say hello

Visit my profile and get a flavor for TGS if you haven’t already:

GolfBlogger unveils new site look

golf blogger blog My pal GolfBlogger has revamped most of his site with a new look and style. I have been so used to the old version over the last few years but I must say the new look is very sharp.

GolfBlogger is one of the original and best golf blogs so go check it out. Now if I could just get him to remove dead 2004 golf blogs from his blogroll so google doesn’t feed on them…

Oh man, before I say something like that I’d better check my blogroll… 🙂
