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.

What Time Should Our Second Hour of #GolfChat Be?

During our last #GolfChat we proposed having another hour of #GolfChat on Tuesdays in addition to 5pm PST so others who can’t make that time slot can still participate . . . especially our European friends as #GolfChat takes place in the middle of the night.

We held this survey last week during #GolfChat (See Below).

13 of 25 voters requested more #GolfChat, so in the next few weeks we will be having a 2nd #GolfChat every Tuesday . . . (and we had 2 people who said they hated #GolfChat. How can anyone hate #GolfChat?)

I chose 10am at random and wanted to give you all a chance to vote for the time we should have #GolfChat so look for our survey during #GolfChat this week to vote for the time our 2nd #GolfChat should be.  The time with the most votes will be our 2nd hour of #GolfChat from here on out.

New #GolfChat Blog Post:

As golf envisions recovery, analysts warn more focus on customer service

@tonyjdear wrote this great article from some ideas analysts shared from the PGA Show last week.  In reading the article, I was speed reading and thinking to myself, “Wow, this guy really knows what he’s talking about.”

Turns out it’s because @tonyjdear was quoting me.  Great article Tony! – http://thegolfnewsnet.com/tonydear/2016/02/06/golf-envisions-recovery-analysts-warn-focus-customer-service-15921/

Epic Golf Games

A big shout out and thank you to @epicgolfgames who sent this my way.

EPIC GOLF GAMES: The Putting Edition.  EPIC Journey.

These cards are designed to help your putting game and I think they offer cards to help other aspects of your golf game.

Bridgestone Golf

Thank you to the entire @bridgestonegolf team for being so supportive of #GolfChat.  Not only did they donate the #GolfChat Awards, (which I’m sending in the mail tomorrow to the winners) they also sent me the #BestBallEver with some funky signature on it.

Can anyone tell me whose signature this is?

#BestBallEver

They also sent me an extremely nice note which said lots of nice things, but mostly just said how awesome I am.  Oh . . . and how awesome #GolfChat is.

Golf Chatter Bio: @crissb

 


Real Name: Criss Titschinger
Location: The Nati (Cincinnati, OH) 

What Do You Order from the #GolfChat Bar?

Bourbon or craft beer, but not during play. At the 19th hole.

One of my old favorites is pure Kentucky and simple: Ale-8-1 ginger ale and bourbon (Maker’s Mark is a go-to), with a maraschino cherry and a bit of the cherry juice.

Go to beers are IPAs. Bell’s Hopslam is a seasonal that just got released (in Feb.), much to the chagrin of my wallet and liver.

How Did You Get Into Golf?

Despite living on a par 3 course my entire youth, the bug didn’t hit until a non-golf trip to Kiawah Island when I was 21. After driving by many different courses that week, I decided to splurge and play Cougar Point. I played like crap, but I was hooked. Also, I just liked the look of golf courses, so GolfClubAtlas.com has a lot to do with me picking up a club as well.

What Are You Doing in Golf and Why?

Isn’t that a great question!? What the hell am I doing with this game?! Spending thousands of hours and dollars on a frustrating and impossible sport. Right now, I just play. A few years ago, I had a larger role in an amateur golf tour around Cincinnati (OVGA Tour), where I wrote code for and maintained their website. I have dreams of writing more golf web applications in the future, but my current commitments and love of sleep keep me from doing so. I have a blog (http://oinkgolf.wordpress.com), but I’m rearranging the format at the moment.

Favorite #GolfChat Topics?

I’m open to pretty much every topic. My sweet spots are equipment and golf course architecture, but I enjoy talking about the tours as well.

Favorite Golf Quote?

You must be putting with batteries, because that was a D-Cell. – Me 

Favorite Golf Destination and Why?

I don’t have a particular favorite as much as a bucket list. Those include Northern Ireland (RCD, Portrush), Melbourne, AUS (Royal Melbourne, Metropolitan, Kingston Heath, Victoria), Bandon, Cabot, and many more!

I do think an under-the-radar golf destination is Minnesota. Great public golf and relatively accessible clubs. I’ve been to World Woods in Florida twice and enjoyed both courses there. I also enjoyed my time in New Mexico playing two of that state’s best, Black Mesa and Paa-Ko Ridge.

How Do You View the State of the Game of Golf?

Professionally, the game is fine. For the rest of us, I do think the death of golf conversation is a bit premature. Supply outgrew demand, and a necessary contraction was in order.

That being said, there are some things that need to either change or evolve. Club manufacturers need to think about their release cycles and how much product they’re putting into market. Players need to adjust their agronomy expectations (i.e. brown is not always bad and green/lush isn’t always good). Pros and courses need ways to attract and keep people at least interested in the game.  

Who Are Your Favorite #GolfChatters and Why?

I haven’t really been on here too long to be able to answer that. I know @onebeardedgolfer from golfkentuckylinks.com, and it’s his #GolfChat tweets that got me aware and interested. I also enjoy @bndwaggnersbd2golf unique perspective. Looking forward to getting to know more of the community.

Favorite Golfers and Why?

Ryan Moore and Paula Creamer, I suppose. Ryan Moore because he seems like the constant underdog, but is always there in the big events. He also had an amateur career on par with Jack and Tiger, so he has that going for him. Paula Creamer because of her tenacity on the course; and she’s cute (judge me; don’t care). I was there first-hand for her dismantlement of Laura Davies 7&5 at the 2005 Solheim Cup. I’m hoping she finds her game again in 2016.

Of the young guys, it’s hard not to like Spieth and Fowler.

Also Wes Homan, who’s a Cincinnati guy and (now) married to one of my former work colleagues. He’s won on the Canadian Tour, top 10’d on the Web.com Tour, and has multiple Monday qualifiers into PGA Tour events. I pull for him every tournament he’s in.

#GolfChat – How to Build a Genuine Community Online by Jeremy White CEO of Connect Golf

Posted on by
Jeremy White, CEO of Connect Golf, Genuine Community

Jeremy White, CEO of Connect Golf

Marketing is, at its simplest, working out what people need and communicating that your product can serve them. Given the barrage of marketing messages, most people are switched off to traditional mediums, so it’s key to build the awareness first and that happens best in places where people are engaged. Mostly online communities. Only then might they switch on and start listening to what you’re saying.

You don’t need a college degree to figure it out. Common sense is all that’s needed and you’ve got that in bucketloads. Plus the courage to actually get out and give it a shot. No doubt there are plenty of history teachers and others who have a good idea to fill a niche, but they never have the guts to quit their jobs and carpe diem the heck out of their idea.

When I started building Connect Golf, I knew it needed to be attached to a community, but also knew communities were, understandably, suspicious of brands. It is also difficult to find communities without agendas. They exist, but it none represent the greater golfing demographic. The bigger social media platforms have some large communities when you look it on pure member numbers. However you can’t filter out the brands and individuals doing not-so-subtle self-promotion stuff or even the randoms posting pics of themselves on their latest golf holiday. Let me rephrase that, you can filter them, but you can’t be bothered. Most members aren’t even active and a post’s visibility is questionable to say the least.

It’s quite a coincidence, but true all the same, that I came to the view that a Twitter chat for golf was needed to solve most of the issues noted above – excepting the occasional and to be honest quite brilliant moderator stunts involving surprise female pro golfers and car brands (I’m a huge marketing cynic, but was happily tweeting with @lexus mentions). I realised that being a wannabe brand, doing it myself would probably lack credibility with participants, but the very next week I came across month 2 of #Golfchat. Problem solved!

Your role, experience, podcast, website, Twitter account etc. is based around the personal brand of Zeb Welborn, so while most people get that part of the exercise is to grow your own brand, they’re fine with that because they can see, hear and read the story behind it. Done for the right reasons and you’re building a no-nonsense community with golf at the core.

At the door to many online golf communities you have to read a heap of rules about what not to do on those platforms or forums, but with #GolfChat there’s none of that, yet people instinctively know how to behave. Yes we all want more business or more subscribers or more readers or more impressions or whatever, but the #GolfChatters generally understand that the way to build a brand via social media is to participate. Just participate and not sell. Pure and simple, we just talk golf and that’s cool from the perspective that we’re not in our usual sales mode. As John from @golfbloggercom would say, we’re just sitting at the #GolfChat bar and talking about the sport.

I’m usually your one paragraph email kinda guy who has a hard time not communicating a sense of rudeness due to brevity, but I look up here and have written a fricking novel about the things you’re doing right. I truly believe that what you’re doing is the best strategy to bring all the golf influencers together on a single platform for discussion.

Sincerely. Well done mate. Two thumbs up.

Jeremy White, CEO Connect Golf

My Top 82 Golf Twitter Accounts to Follow in 2015

Posted on by

In preparing for our very first #GolfChat hosted tonight on Twitter, Tuesday, January 6 at 5pm PST.  I decided to create a list of my favorite Golf Twitter accounts to follow.

I jokingly say that these are the best of the best golf Twitter accounts to follow in 2015.

My list is not meant to be comprehensive.  This is just a list of people who I’ve talked golf with on Twitter over the years.  Give them a follow and let them know you found them through this list if you get a chance.
