Legendary Marketing Meets Golf in Scottsdale

Tuesday, June 8, 2010

What's really killing golf in the U.S.? It's the ignorance and lack of use of free social media platforms and internet marketing to connect with and bring more golfers to your golf course.

Golf in the Desert Can Be Hazardous to Your Health

Wednesday, June 2, 2010

This kind of situation is exactly why the desert rule was created for golf in the Sonoran Desert.  You hit your ball into the desert out here you drop in the fairway near as you can determine where your ball entered the hazard and take a one-shot penalty.

McCormick Ranch Golf Club

Tuesday, January 22, 2008

This is a 36 hole facility that I have enjoyed immensely throughout my years in Scottsdale but it took the Mid-West golfer in me to finally appreciate the concept they have created there.
