The American Society of Golf Course Architects has partnered with GCSAA to give golf facilities an online resource that explains the steps involved in evaluating a golf course remodeling or renovation project. The new online modules will cover this same content in a self-paced format. "Remodeling 101: Examining and Evaluating your Facility" is available at http://www.gcsaa.org/learn/online/remodeling101.asp, to help golf course decision-makers determine if it’s time to remodel, renovate or restore their course. It will also be available at http://www.remodelinguniversity.org. The remaining two modules of the program are expected to be online within the next eight months.
PGA Golf Exhibitions has finalized its
schedule of events and programs at the 2003 PGA Fall Expo, Aug. 5-7,
in San Diego. An education conference, offering more than 40 professional
development sessions, will be presented the first two days of the
expo, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the exhibit hall and product
demonstrations open those days from noon to 5:30 p.m. On Aug. 7, the
exhibit hall will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The expo is expected
to feature some 200 golf-related exhibitors covering more than 50,000
net square feet of exhibition space. The event also will feature an
outdoor hitting and putting area adjacent to San Diego Bay. Buyers
can register online at www.pgaexpo.com
or by calling 800-840-5628.
During the 2003 ING Spring Conference in Colorado, Andrew Wyant of
Natural Golf invited all golfers the opportunity to take a 90 minute
clinic for free, with the only cost being range balls at the particular
course. "We are so confident that Natural Golf is an easier way
to strike a golf ball, we want to make sure that all who have not
experienced Natural Golf get an opportunity to work with one of our
150 instructors from around the country and see for themselves how
fun and easy Natural Golf is to learn."
NOTE FROM EDITOR: I found a great site
for tournament directors, that allows you to print out scorecards
prior to a tournament, that will include that includes room for strokes,
names, pops, etc. It has to be seen to be believed. Here's all you
have to do: Visit http://www.customscorecards.com,
choose your state (or province for Canada), then choose your course.
When the scorecard pops up, choose "Click here to customize this
scorecard". Go right to the advanced mode, and add all the information
you want to show up on the scorecards. Under the Additional Lines,
feel
free to include Sandies, Greenies, Polies, or whatever you can think
of. Finish, and choose "click here to print your scorecard".
This is the kind of item that the Internet was made for.

* The Big 6 with... SpecialTee
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Who is SpecialTee Products?
SpecialTee Products is a division of the Mississippi Industries for
Individuals with Disabilities (M.I.I.D.) under the direction of Ellisville
State School. We are a group of 12 workshops who employ individuals
with mental retardation and/or physical disabilities. M.I.I.D. employs
a total of 325 people with about 75 of those working directly for
SpecialTee Products. There are 100 more of our clients who need this
type of packaging work.
2. What products/service does SpecialTee
Products provide the golf community?
We provide bagged golf tees to over 300 golf facilities across the
United States. We have sold over 42 million golf tees. That's over
1,408 miles of tees! We also produce plastic cutlery kits for 19th
holes, facility banquets, or tournament cookouts.
3. How does SpecialTee Products work?
In the past, we have taken orders for golf tees over the phone (601-477-6500).
We will still do this, but we have added other ways to order. Customers
may place orders via our website, http://www.specialteeproducts.com,
which emails the order directly to us, or customers may just email
rsdossett@specialteeproducts.comto
place an order.
4. Where does SpecialTee Products sell
their products?
We sell our products wherever UPS goes. As far as we know, UPS goes
everywhere. We will get your order to your Pro Shop. That's a promise!
5. When did SpecialTee Products begin?
SpecialTee Products is a new name for an old company. M.I.I.D. began
employing individuals with disabilities in 1978. It wasn't until 1993
that the clients at M.I.I.D. began bagging golf tees, after some solid
advice and guidance from past President of the PGA of America, J.R.
Carpenter. As mentioned above, since that time these 75 individuals
with mental retardation and/or physical disabilities have kept over
300 customers nationwide completely satisfied.
6. Why should someone purchase golf tees
and plastic cutlery kits from SpecialTee Products instead of the competition?
First, we are a non- profit institution which provides a quality product
(the same tee used on the PGA Tour) at affordable prices while creating
jobs for individuals who truly need them. Having a job builds self
esteem and enhances the lives of our clients. We know because we see
it every day! Our products look no different than the ones you would
buy from the giant for-profit corporations who utilize bagging machines
to create their products. We choose to employ individuals who come
to work on time every day. They do this because they love their jobs.
Second, we promise to ship your order the same day it is placed. Third,
our bagged gold tees are price competitive and fourth, our products
are guaranteed!
