What is the Gold Spike?

The Internet, a Gold Spike for the Golf industry.


Just after the US Civil War, the task of building a railroad across the United States was once dismissed as hopelessly visionary. Many parallel tracks with no established destination were built in a race to see who could distance the United States first. Finally, The Union Pacific and The Central Pacific accomplished the great feat of completion when a gold spike was driven connecting the railroads east and west. The internet golf tee time industry can be compared to this era.

The global internet golf tee time industry in a sense is in the same state of affairs

Tee Time Distributors provide internet tees times but no one knows where to go to get the deal or tee time. They are trying to support (real time) tee times. At the same time, greedy distributors are taking control away from the golf courses. There is no real one stop shop connecting as many options as possible. What exists today is a number of self claimed distributors going in the no real direction. Intellectual property has become an issue in defining the process. This is no way to run the golf industry much less a course. The golf industry needs help and direction

Courses can play their part by posting tees times, course information with advertisements on GreenFees

Golfers can play their part by purchasing tee times (directly from the course) that are advertised on Greenfees.

Golfers can play their part by selecting partners from Internet Golf Communities.

Manufacturers can play their part by posting and advertising their products on Greenfees.

Service Providers can play their part by posting and advertising services on Greenfees.

Step 1

Use the Greenfees Web Tee Time Calendar. (courses to post ads for available tee times, golfers to select tee times from Greenfees and purchase directly from the course).

Step 2

Join the any solid Internet Golf Community and provide the information that will match you with others that you would like to meet (see Communities pull down menu on home padge) .

Step 2

Create a your profile within your Community that defines yourself.

Step 3

Use the Bulletin Boards, Blogs, and Search capabilities within your communities to search or post your match.

Feel free to send a brief description of your interests for the match of advertisement opportunities and partnerships. We want to return control to the courses. We are prepared to drive the gold spike.
