A Bonus

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

The work that I do requires that I do a lot of traveling. Since our main office is in Virginia and our next biggest office is in North Carolina, I do a lot of traveling between the two. I often have to meet clients and keep them entertained when we are done with our meetings. One great way I’ve found to do this is to take them golfing. There are many courses in the Myrtle Beach area.

It’s really worked out well so far. The only problem I had was ensuring that I would be able to secure the tee times I needed. That problem was solved for me when a friend of mine told me about a site called www.48hourteetimes.com. It is on this site that I am able to determine what times are available on which courses. This makes it easy to make plans on short notice.

I have met many clients and had good results with this tactic. I take them golfing and keep them entertained. It often works out that I end up with their business and that looks good with the big bosses upstairs. It’s all thanks to the ability to get 48 hour tee times. The other bonus is that I get to play quite a few rounds of golf and I have no problem with that!

Every now and then

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

Every now and then it’s good when you can combine two of your favorite things into one. I recently had the chance to do just that when I got to travel and play golf. My family and I had decided it was time for a vacation and we all agreed that a Myrtle Beach hotel was where we wanted to go. We all like the area and the beach is always enticing to us.

In order to ensure that our trip would go smoothly, I decided to find out all the information I could about our destination. I found a site called http://www.grandeshores.com that provided the info I was looking for. It was there that I found out about the Myrtle Beach vacation deals that were available. It was easy to see why the place is so popular. There are so many things to see and do.

My wife likes the fact that she can lay on the beach and work on her tan. Sometimes she catches up on her reading or listens to the radio. The kids love getting in the sand and playing games with all the other kids there. As for myself, I can be found on one of the many golf courses that are in the surrounding area. All in all, the whole family has fun and I am glad to know that we can always come back next year.

Steinbrenner

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

The New York Yankees lost their chief today as owner George M. Steinbrenner died from a massive stroke this morning. He was 80 years old and is known for his leadership in the baseball realm as the owner of the Yankees. Known to many as “the boss” George went through many managers during his stint as the owner.

As the owner of the club since 1973, he compiled an amazing record of 7 World Series Championships and 11 American League Pennants. Known to all as a generous man, the baseball world will miss him as well as his surviving family.

Open Champ

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Congratulations to Graeme McDowell who is the champion of the 2010 U.S.Open. After an exciting four days of ups and downs for the field, he emerged at the top of the field on Sunday. He stood on the 18 green and took it all in after realizing that he was going to join the long list of famous names who have won the tournament.

Tiger Woods finished tied for fourth with Phil Mickelson. The field struggled with the windy conditions throughout the tournament. It was a victory that was well deserved and I hope he enjoys it!
