Some of my friends belong to private golf clubs and I have become interested in them. Is the price of membership worth the benefits you receive from belonging to a private club? A friend of mind told me that in addition to his dues he also has to spend a certain amount on food and dining each year (approx 10k). I know that private clubs have a reputation as being very selective about who they allow into the clubs. What has been your experience with private golf clubs?

I don’t have any experience with private clubs in the sense of belonging to one. I’ve played at a number of private clubs and it really depends on the location of the club. I know a club in the area I live in that it costs 150 bucks a month for dues(not sure of the initial membership fee). I do know that there are different membership categories that can reduce the amount of your fee. I live in a town of 130,000 people. I’ve seen membership fees at clubs from 35,000 to over 600,000 bucks. I can tell you that 600,000 dollar fee was at a club in the Hamptons. Membership can be included in a residential purchase within the club community. Yes they have a reputation for being selective about membership(most will say membership is by invitation). Most make social and business contacts at these clubs so they will say it’s worth the investment.

I have a full time job, but the student loans are too much, so I’m thinking about working like 10 hours/week in a upscale country/golf club as a beer cart girl. Girls out there, if you have worked as a beer cart girl before, could you tell me more about it, like what it’s like to be a beer cart girl, do you get lots of tips, is the job exhausting, any luck of dating any of the rich men on the course, etc? Thanks!

lol yep. it sure is exhausting to get to drive around on a beautiful course all day.

Hay mucho que hacer en mi pasatiempo y me diverterse muchos actividadas, pero lo major es la musica. Cuando volvo a mi casa de mi colegio, suelo estar cansada porque el dia es dificil. Normalmente me velajo esuchando musica. Me encantan musico porque cuando era joven pequeno mis padres solian cantar y tocar la guitarra acustica. Pienso que es muy divertido bailar a las musica y especialmente hay una Buena ritmo.

Me encanta cantar porque creo que Buena para la alma y siento libre de tensiones. Sin embargo no tengo dotes para el instramento asi que lo no toco. A veces voy a un concierto en vivo con mis amigos siempre que puedo. Sin embargo concierto son muy caro asi que recibo entrada para mi cumpleaños.

El sabado pasado fui a ver a una pequeno banda . Fui muy emocionado porque me encanta el rock y queria bailar y cantar con mis amigos. Habia mucha gente y conoci a muchos simpaticos gente. El ambiente fue fantastico pero tenia un dolor me garanta porque grite mucho

En el verano me gustaria ir a una festial de muscia rock porque los examenes terminara. Ire a ir de camping con mis amigos para celebrar. No puedo esperar, soy muy emocionante.

There are a lot of errors in this – easiest way to correct it is to copy it into a word document and set the language to Spanish

i am a freshman at THE Ohio State University, majoring in Professional Golf Management. its a 4 year bachelors program designed to train us to be head golf pros and to get to be members of the PGA. but i dont want to be a head golf pro. i want to specialize in golf club repair and design. does anyone knowledgeable know where i could get a job doing this after i graduate and do you know if it would be a difficult area to get into? please tell any experience you have backing your answer. thanks.

Here’s a link that has 29 golf repair businesses in OH. Whether they’re hiring or not is outside my ability to find out. I do know that it’s a tough business to get into. A specialty shop has difficulty competing against the D1ck’s Sporting Goods of the world… even though you’ll be getting more as far as customer service goes from the specialty shop. The economy is rough still, so that’s going to work against you, as well.

I suggest joining either the Professional Clubmaker’s Society, the International Clubmaker’s Guild, or the PGA (not just the Tour and teachers). It costs $$$, but they could help you with job placement.

Trying to study for a final. Please HELP!
.175 kg club head going at 45 m/s hits a golf ball weighing .05 kg. The ball flys off at 65 m/s. I know the answer is 3.2 kg m/s but I need to know how to get to the answer. Thanks!

precollision: 0.175kg * 45m/s = 7.875 kg·m/s
postcollision: 0.175kg * v + 0.05kg * 65m/s = 7.875 kg·m/s
0.175kg * v + 3.25 kg·m/s = 7.875 kg·m/s
v = 26.4 m/s
So the initial momentum of the golf BALL post-collision is 3.25 kg·m/s
Then the initial momentum of the golf CLUB post-collision is 4.625 kg·m/s

Price and selectivity. Most Golf Courses charge fees, but the public courses charge less. Private clubs however can restrict membership to whomever they want. You aren’t automatically guaranteed entry just because you can pay.

It is human nature that attracts us all to free gifts. The fact that we don’t have to pay for something leads us to grab items that we would normally never bother with. You only have to look at visitors to exhibitions and trade fairs all weighed down with free brochures and catalogs to see how true this is.

It is our love of the “freebie” that has made viral marketing such a powerful tool for Internet marketers. In fact you could say that viral marketing is any marketers dream either on or offline. Of course it is not new, the oldest form of viral marketing is good old word of mouth. The customer buys something and likes it he or she then tells all their friends and that is the best form of viral marketing that you can get. Of course this only works if your produce or service is good if not it can have a disastrous effect on your business.

Viral marketing offers anyone the opportunity to get his or her sales message all over the Internet for no cost. All you have to do is give away a piece of software, article, audio or video that also contains your marketing message. Providing the gift is perceived as having value it will be passed all around the Internet and thousands of people will get to see your message.

If you are going to create a viral marketing product the first thing you need to decide is what product or services do you want to promote virally. As an example if you want to promote a golf web site then it is obvious that your gift should be related to golf.

It is always better to create your own product because this can be made much more targeted. It is easy to use private label articles to quickly build an e-book on your chosen subject. You can then place the links that you want into your new e-book.
As well as using it to attract traffic to your web site you can also add in links to products, either your own or ones you sell as an affiliate. This can build you a very useful source of income, which will carry on as long as your item is circulating on the Internet.

Of course not every viral marketing product that you launch will be a success and in some cases it may take time to see the results. To use viral marketing successfully your giveaway must have perceived value people. It has to gain unique or useful information and it must be easy to pass on to others.

It is even possible to make money from your viral marketing product by offering it for sale at a very low price with Master Resale Rights. This allows others to either sell or giveaway your product to their customers. Providing you have produced a quality viral product this can a very effective way of spreading your marketing message.

Writing articles such as this one for instance is a form of viral marketing designed to attract readers to my web site. The more articles you have circulating around the Internet the more people are likely to read them and click on your links. By satisfying peoples demands for something for nothing you could really increase your

There is very little against viral marketing, it cost practically nothing and can be very effective over a long period of time. No matter which product or products you create as “freebies” make sure is something that is valuable, funny, informative or unique. It may take months or even years for viral marketing to work. Don’t expect it to happen overnight or for all your viral marketing ideas to work.

But remember the more seeds that you sow the bigger the crop will be. So why not add viral marketing to your sales armoury.

Golf’s rising popularity, fame and fortune has propelled the sport into something of magnitude, but without good Golf Courses and top quality complexes, players would be left putting on Astroturf. Professionals, such as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, have created a following of fans and many people look to follow in their footsteps, as with any star in any type of occupation. This increase in popularity and playing activity means that the golfing industry has to respond.

Golf course management has become an important and integral part of making sure that professional players continue to promote the sport. Golf complexes also provide many career opportunities to other people and they offer a varied selection of jobs for anyone to explore. Club pros, greens keepers, physiotherapists, photographers and writers enjoy plenty of exposure and a good, solid career thanks to golf courses and complexes. But all these spin off job markets rely on one very important occupation: golf course management.

Running a golf course is similar to any industry. There’s a certain amount of experience, training and know how required to have an effective facility that keeps members satisfied for continued patronage and encourages people to break into the sport of golf. While not every person is determined to have a PGA career, huge numbers of those hooked on the game of golf provide sales to facilities and jobs for the golfing industry. In the UK alone, four million people are involved in golfing and the popularity of the game in North America is even greater.

At this point, you may be asking yourself why you should look into golf course management as a career. The reasons are fairly simple. Top quality complexes need skilled employees to manage and oversee the well oiled functioning of their facilities. There’s an enormous amount of money involved in the golfing industry and complexes need to maintain the current standards that keep players coming back and provide exciting, new challenges to golfers. New greens are continually cropping up as experienced trainers learn the tricks and traps of courses and each facility needs to be better than the last, as well as providing stiff competition to other complexes. Competition, after all, only forces each facility to improve upon what already exists and increase the quality of what they offer to players.

Academies and colleges offer degrees in golf course management, so even someone who’s just getting into golfing can learn the ins and outs of running a complex. Most academies will offer training with emphasis on operations and management, and usually within two years, you’ll have a degree certifying your skills that makes you an attractive asset to any facility. A wide variety of courses within programs allow students to specialize in one area of the golfing industry or another, whether it is as golf pro or the general running of a complex. Programs are usually a blend of practical and classroom training, involving learning the in depth points of golfing as well as the business aspects of the industry.

Training in golf course management is provided by instructors that are usually PGA golf pros themselves, and the operational side of learning is provided by strong business leaders that will teach you the effective running of a golf complex, from the food industry to turf management. Human resources, sales and coaching are also integral parts of learning to work inside the golfing industry, which leaves you with a well rounded professional training and set of skills useful in any company or business. Many academies also provide extra training and coaching for those players who show the talent and ability to become PGA professional golfers themselves.

With a degree in golf course management, you’ll be able to provide services and facilities to not only the amateur golfer or weekend players but also the PGA pros. Every client is important to the longevity of the golfing industry and each situation you’ll face will only increase your personal value in the job market. Finding an academy or college that will provide you with the certification and skills you need is fairly easy, as even educational institutions themselves have noticed the increasing demand and responded with ample programs and varied courses to help you reach your occupational goals.
