The Social Golf Course is Free Today in Amazon

Spoke yesterday at Troon North at the Arizona Chapter of the National Golf Course Owner’s Association in Scottsdale and decided to give a free digital copy to everyone in attendance through Amazon. I thought I’d extend the offer to everyone in #GolfChat too.

Download the free digital copy in Amazon here – https://www.amazon.com/Social-Golf-Course-Increasing-Rounds-ebook/dp/B00ILIU9S6 

If you’ve read it feel free to review it. Reviews and ratings in Amazon can really help to increase exposure for the book and its ideas.

Btw, I dig what you’re doing and if you’re ever interesting in connecting, please let me know.

Going to the Mat for #GolfChat

Cassie Norris, aka @golfbandwagoner wrote an excellent piece on protecting #GolfChat for all of us #GolfChatters. Give it a read and let her know what you think.

https://bandwagonersguidetogolf.com/2016/08/11/going-to-the-mat-for-golfchat/

I tried writing one myself on our recent Twitter spat, but decided I’d shoot a YouTube video about my thoughts on it in the very near future since Cassie did such a good job writing this one. Will let you know when it goes live.

Ryan Young aka @Front9Back9 Memorial Fund & Surprise #GolfChat

Posted on by
Ryan Young aka @Front9Back9 Memorial Fund

Last week, just before the #Back9 version of #GolfChat we found out Ryan Young, aka @Front9Back9, aka the winner of the most #GolfChat Awards of All Time passed away.

Read Ryan Young’s Obituary

Ryan was just 35 years old and left behind his wife, young son, and another on the way. It’s my hope that as dedicated #GolfChatters we can help support Ryan’s family. Many of you have already made generous donations and it’s my hope that we can all encourage golf lovers to raise money for Ryan’s young family.

Donate to Ryan Young’s Memorial Fund.

Ryan was on a pursuit to #Break80 and came oh so close. As others have done already, I’ll be donating $79 to Ryan’s family. It would be cool if we could all help Ryan #Break80.

This #GolfChat Tuesday, let’s do everything we can to share the love for Ryan Young aka @Front9Back9 and share the link to his Memorial Fund on all our social media channels and any other outlets we have for Ryan and his family.  He was one of the good ones.

In honor of Ryan, we’ll be asking his favorite question: “What was the most interesting thing to happen in golf this week?” and a question about Ryan, “What was your favorite memory of @Front9Back9?”

Hoping to hear some great stories about our good friend.

RIP @Front9Back9
