Worst round of the year

danperry — 06/30/2008 15:42:02

Played the Port Course at Harborside and shot a 101. The worst round of the year for me. Just couldn’t get anything to work; even the 90-100 yard shots were poor.
I did take a group of pics though, so here ’s the Port course at Harborside International Golf Center.

Swing change

danperry — 06/21/2008 14:52:22

Taking a group of lessons, and lengthening my swing. This is, in turn, causing me to shoot higher than normal scores, but I think in the long run it’ll be worth it. Time will tell.

Find A Golf Ball? Tell me about it

danperry — 03/20/2008 09:48:28

I’m planning on playing a lot of golf this summer, so thought it would be fun to get some personalized golf balls made with a little twist. If you find one, you’ll know what I mean.

The Google Refrigerator Giveaway

danperry — 01/07/2008 10:23:42

You read it right. I have a Google fridge that I’m giving away to one lucky person. It’s as cool (if not cooler) than you think. Lots of pics and a video on my blog, but hurry; the contest is only for a week.

Keep an eye on your Google listing

danperry — 01/04/2008 10:46:16

Searching for the term “golf marketing” in Google today provided an interesting, and painful result (at least, for the company in question). I wonder if they even know why their traffic is (probably) in the toilet.

The sad part is that they may not be aware this is happening, or they may have done this on purpose (which is even worse, IMO).
The lesson: Look at your listing every once in awhile in the major search engines. You just never know.

Golf website redesign; an often overlooked detail

danperry — 01/03/2008 11:39:26

I was researching a golf course in my area, and noticed they went through a redesign. As a marketer, my first thought was “Uh-oh; I hope they didn’t forget to…”
Needless to say, they did, and it’s easily the most often overlooked detail when redesigning a site, from a marketing standpoint.
The video is just over 3 minutes long. Looking forward to your comments.

The Big Break and Golf Mesquite Nevada; some thoughts

danperry — 12/29/2007 10:36:28

I spent some time going through the GolfMesquiteNevada.com website, and put together a video that outlines some suggestions that I think may increase site conversion. If you run a website, and are trying to convert golfers, it may help you as well. Every little bit helps, right?
Looking forward to your thoughts.
