Just one week from the 45Th annual Indian River Open. We are visiting the home of that long standing PGA sanctioned event, New Smyrna Beach Golf Club or affectionately known as “The Muni” by locals. This Donald Ross design is everything you can ask for in a Public course. Mr. Ross, considered a legend in golf course layout design, built a championship jewel for this community in 1924. Over the years it has stood up as a challenging and often under estimated lay out. At first it appears so inviting,  with very little thick underbrush on the edges it appears wide. Yet as Mr. Ross is known for, you have certain areas and yardages that are a must hit. You must  achieve the right location for subsequent shots to hit, as it was said by the renovation architect, “The smallest greens I have ever worked with in all my years”. This course over its long history  has seen its Championship runs fo,r Florida State Championships and Junior Nationals and many a U.S. Open qualifying rounds posted here in the past decades. As with many Municipal run courses it had started to fade in the ever changing world of Golf. Great course’s evolve as did NSB Golf Club in the early parts of this century’s first decade, the city leaders and Golf Advisory board attacked the issue, and went forward with a renovation and new management .

 So after a renovation that complimented A Donald Ross design. In fact with the new equipment and balls in this modern age the renovation has given the old course a brand new set of teeth. Yet it still has every bit of feel of that famous Donald Ross layout, and penalty for hitting out of his optimum landing areas. With many new Fairway and Green side bunkers, this old course can send you right back to the great practice facilities shaking your head. Then in 2005 after all renovation was complete they needed  new Management, they got even more then they bargained for. Gary Wintz former touring professional and award winning golf course designer in his own right came available. City leadership & The Golf Advisory board did not hesitate.  Any observer would be quick to point out since Gary’s arrival things have been happening. From working this course on a maintenance schedule that really gives you that private club look, while playing at public club prices. Changes to the new fully stocked and modern looking Pro Shop. To a new Dinner club style restaurant, with a Chef straight from Naples, Italy.

All this translates into a real pleasure to come play and test your skills on a truly great Donald Ross Gem of a course. With a lot of man hours they have it in the best shape it has ever been in, and waiting for the young professionals to try their hand on Feb. 5-7  for The Indian River Open. Gary and his  staff have really got this gem shinny. You can now get, week in advance tee times, affordable memberships, and season memberships for our out of town long term visitors. Great Practice facilities, with chipping and sand practice areas. Along with a full shot driving range and two practice putting greens. I can assure you Mr. Ross’s vision of Public Courses playable for everyone, and getting a club experience can be found right here at New Smyrna beach Golf Club.

This is in the Central East Coast area of Florida which includes the cities, Daytona, Deland, Deltona, Ormond, Orange City and New Smyrna Beach to name a few. This is a group of fun loving people that love competition and a good time. The Whole show is run by the Queen from Maryland and aspiring Ladies Champion Penny Lester. She is the current New Smyrna Beach ladies Champ for 2009 and pushes her skill by competing with these guys every week to sharpen her skills.

  The groups are made up of all faucets of our local community from Leading Real Estate broker Dave Massey to Restaurant Owner, Mechanics and Artist. It is a complete spectrum. But they all come together for Golf.  This league is open to all who have a Handicap index from a club through the USGA system. By in varies but not normally more than $15.00 dollars. That pays out for Front nine then a back nine pay out, Skins, and closest to the pin pot on the par threes.

Good Morning

I am pleased to announce the official start of http://www.ispreadyourmessage.com. Our first postings will be promoting ourselves and our idea. Each morning we will compile the video shot for our Featured op ad, for the day and place in You Tube, Facebook, My Space,Google, and  right here on the daily blog entry. We will introduce you and your product or message. Provide links to your websites. Then use the day to go out on the streets and film us introducing you and your company to the people on the street. It will be funny, and we will meet your potential customers, and you can get direct feedback. The bottom line in advertising is what do I get for my money invested. Well compared to our cost your return is fantastic. You pick the day that coincides with the amount you want to spend on promoting that day. Then it goes out there in socail viril land and stays there for the whole year. pay for a day stay for the year.

Take today as a sample this blog entery goes to five different locations on the web. It will be seen over the next 24 hours by at least 5-8 thousand people in their homes or on their iphones or at work. The number of people who see our posts are going to be growing each and everyday. We have a concentration regionally in Florida but we extend to Canada, West Coast and Britian,  just to point out a few.

Then when these posts are shown as notifications on the walls of all these individual social pages. It is also seen by all of their friends. Google tells us the average social network account consists of 200 people. So if we go out to thousands it can actually be seen by 10′s of thousands. You get links to your site on the article and meta tags for the search engine to pick up for the rest of the year. This is a real ROI (return on investment). That is what we are about, doing positive honest networking. Not search engine formulas that we do not understand but just real life telling friends that we have a positive organization today to introduce to you. Then a great article/ review of what we know about your organization and what we think of the work you are doing. Plus some live testimonies of your cutomers. All in a fun social way that can give people a chance to laugh and pass on to their friends. Really you can not beat this.

These are tough times we want to do our part in raising America back up to the hieghts she deserves. We plan on doing that by bringing good positive people together. Subscribe to email announcements in the top right column and you can get notified on each new schedule. Most importantly we look forward to being out there on the street meeting people and sharing ideas. We thank each and everyone of our followers  for your support and encouragement as we have been getting ready for this, to our friends and followers YOU ARE THE BEST & YOU WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
