I am a person who owns golf clubs and pays money to get on the course and lose balls. Does that constitute "golfer" in your book?
Dallas Municipal Courses already do this.......
Other than that, great concept
(to elaborate you buy a card for i think 6 rounds of golf, and get 2 free)
Golf? Ewww....
If I'm going to spend ridiculous amounts of money on a sport, I need an adrenaline rush. :burnrubr:
It's more of a relaxation thing... I play golf when I need to be calm (ish), and I have autocross, RC flying, and Airsoft for my adrenaline rushes :DQuote:

um, no I'm not. What are you trying to say??Quote:

I wasn't trying to say anything man, It's just a funny quote from big lebowski and it's all I could think of when hearing golf, because it fit with your question, sorry to have nothing on topic to say.
Best thing I can think of regarding you idea is that there is no reason why courses or clubs that have similar ideas already implemented wouldn't want to use yours also because they woudn't be mutually exclusive, and could only bring them more business. You probably already realized that but that's a good argument for getting courses support if you need it. There I was able to say something useful.:D
Turbo Duane, I wasn't trying to be an ass... i notice my post kinda sounds it. It truly depends on how many courses you can get signed up.....
Golf is a sport, then.Quote:

I just played an Eagle golf course in Frisco (Plantation) yesterday, it was country club caliber condition and was only $19 incl everything after 1 PM.
Eagle golf has a card
Dallas Muni
Texasgolftix.com
etc
Will your membership card be good for discounts on pro shop merchandise as well?
Will your partners honor your discount in addition to any other special offers they may have available?
Since your site doesn't show a partner list yet, I'm guessing it is because you are still signing them up and want to make a bigger impact by listing them all at once. With that in mind, I wouldn't be showing the membership price of $100 just yet until I actually had a substantial list of available courses. Kind of seems like putting the cart before the horse to me; maybe you've got a different take on it?
All good comments guys, keep them coming, and thanks for your input.
I would suspect that your hardest part of this venture would be in selling them to the clubs. You need someone very experienced in outside sales that can get clubs to sign on the dotted line.
I think you are right on the money. I've got two partners that are both on the selling side. One is currently a banker, but used to be a car salesman, then a finance guy. He's a pretty strong closer, but time will tell. The other option is if the site's traffic grows, that should make it an easier sale. Right now, It's a tough sale.Quote:
