I really don’t like to go off on a rant… SirPuttsAlot is so much better at it than me… but sometimes I just feel the need to write about things that bother me. Today I think I will rant on a little bit about the wonderful world of golf tees.
Welcome To The Circus – Getting Into The Golf Business
It’s hiring time at our shop… time to find a few new people to help us get through the summer. It’s really tough to find good people these days because there are just so many jobs out there that pay way more than the golf business can offer.

Golf – The Gold Old Game
I know I've said it millions of times before but man, how I love the game of golf. This may not come as a shock to many of you, after all, my partner and I devote hundreds of hours to a golf website that we get no monetary compensation for but it goes beyond that.
