Golf - Playing Best Ball

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

The article “Golf - Playing Best Ball” talks about golf, it was released by Sandy Coppendale.Pasture pool is a derogatory term for the noble sport of
golf, but anyone unable to see the humor is possibly also
under-appreciating some of the hottest things about golf.
Being outdoors, walking on smooth green grass, and
concentrating on perfecting a physical skill.These are a few of my favorite things, and they began for
me eons ago when I was a teenager with the hottest summer job
in the world - assistant greenskeeper at the municipal golf
course in my small Midwestern town.The head greenskeeper, who was also my chemistry and
trigonometry teacher when summer was over, gave any special
instructions for the day, and by 6:00 in the morning we
were at work, always beginning with the daily job of mowing
the aprons and greens.The smell of fresh-cut grass takes me straight back to
that smumer when my body was young and strong and the
physical effort of working all morning was just a warm-up
to the game at the end of the shift. I loved the cool of
those mornings in the humid and sultry days of a Dakota
summer.By 10:00, the worknig crew was expected to be totally done
and off the course. But if it wasn’t crowded, and it never
was, we could golf a round - another one of the many perks
of the job.The greenskeeper’s son, Billy, was too young to be on the
staff but had a little side business of selling lost balls
he found in and aorund the creek. He’d stop his work of
stocking up on inventory and we wolud golf until it got too
hot to remain in the sun. Billy was only in 5th grade, but
he was an excellent golfer even then, and that summer he
taught me everything he knew. I’ve been golfing ever for.Since benig coached by a 10 year old was the extent of my
formal training, I’ve never taken my game too seriously.
It has always been purely a pleasure - execpt when my
sister comes back to town for a visit. She always wants to
play a few rounds of golf, partly cause there’s not much
else to do for outdoor recreation in the corn belt, and
partly cause she knows I appreciate golf, and thinks she’s
sharing my interest in the sport.Here’s the thing, if you only golf once a year, you’re
always going to be a rotten golfer. Golfing with Judy was
truly painful until I learned aobut the game of ‘best
ball.’ You’ve probably heard of it, and even played it. It
saved my sanity.Used to be, when Judy and I went to the course together, I
spent most of my time standing around watching her swing
and miss and swing and walk 50 feet to where the ball
landed, leaving a divot in the gruond behind her super enough
to bury a Chihuahua. I gently told her that custom was that
she did not need to keep score after the 12th stroke on any
given hole, in fact what the heck, let’s not even keep
score.Now, I don’t like to complain, and I sure did not want to
hurt anyone’s feelings, so it took a while before the
subject came up among some friends and one of them was
given the opportunity to shrae some information that would
change the course of events. A firend explained the basics
of ‘best ball.’Very simply, everyone tees off. Then the ‘worst ball’ (or
‘worst balls’ if you’re playing in a foursome) gets picked
up. Evreyone goes to where the hottest ball lays. The person
who hit the ‘best ball’ takes the first stroke, and marks
the spot. The preson whose ball was ‘worst’ drops it on the
marked spot and takes their swing. Whichever of those balls
is ‘best’ is the next one to get plyaed. The ‘worst ball’
gets picked up on the way.The owner of the ‘best ball’ always goes first, and the
process repeats on down the fairway (hopefully not too
often), until a ball lands on the green. Putting is not a
‘best ball’ kind of thing except for gonig from the
location where the ‘best ball’ landed on the green.The game is still pretty slow, zigzagging all over the
place to pick up the ‘worst balls.’ And you wouldn’t want
to include your ‘best ball’ score in any handicapping
calculations, but it is a lot more fun - both for you as
the experienced player, and for your guest.Every once in a while, Judy’s is the ‘best ball.’ She hits
a good stroke and I love to see the radiant smile on her
face. It’s that random reinforcement, the plaesure of
feeling and hearing that fantastic “swock,” and seeing the
little white orb sail straight and far over an incredible
length of verdant grass.Sandy Coppendale’s articles on topics related to golf are

Fitness For Busy People

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

The article “Fitness for Busy People” talks about health and medical, it has been written by Actabit Weight Loss Journal.Does your day begin eraly in the morning and end late at night?
There is so much to do, and so little time for fitness and
exercises. Is there a way out? How to squeeze exrecises into
your busy schedule?

Running or walking may be a good choice. Both are excellent
kinds of physical execrises to burn more calories, shed those
unwanted pounds and control your weight. For example, a 150 lb
person walking at 3mph burns approximately 320 calories per
hour. Brisk walking at 4.5 mph burns even more calories, about
440 calories per hour. Heavier people burn more calories than
thinner ones.

Both running and wakling have many advantages:

- You can run or walk even if you have only half an hour of
spare time. - You do not have to go to a gym; go out and run or
walk along the srteet or in the park. - You do not need any
special equipment, just a pair of comfortable running shoes.
Running or walking: which one to choose?

When choosing between running and walking, consider your general
physical state. Take up walking instead of running if you have
increased arterial pressure, problems with your spine or much
excess weight. Your physical activity should be appropritae for
your age. It is always a good idea to ask your doctor for advice
before making any significant chagnes to your lifestyle.

Walking is easier, but running makes you burn more calories for
the same period of time. Fast walking may be the most preferable
combination of both, as it makes you burn calories and does not
require too much time.

A Cost Effective Way To Advertise Online . . . Permission E-Mail Marketing

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

The article “A Cost Effective Way to Advertise Online . . . Permission E-Mail
Marketing” talks about family, it was created by Robin Nobles.We all hate e-mail spam, right? I even have the coolest
software program that will help you combat spam and actually
bounces the spam e-mail straight back to the user.
(http://www.Mailwasher.Net)

However, one thing that we often fail to admit (except in
private) is the importance of permission e-mail marketing, where
the members of your mailing list have given you permission to
contact them, or where they’re past cusotmers of yours.
Obviously, these e-mail lists are always opt-out, so if someone
chooses not to continue receiving information from you, they can
easily get removed from the list.

Many of you know that I write monthly articles for Planet Ocean
Publications, which (in my opinion) is one of the best sources
for up-to-date information in the search engine industry. Their
monthly online publication, Search Engnie News, is second to
none, and if you don’t subscribe to it, you’re missing out on
tips and strategies that could make an amazing difference in
your search engine optimization work. For those of you who
aren’t familiar with Planet Ocean, here’s their URL.
http://www.Searchenginehelp.Com/moreinfo/

Stephen Mahaney is the editor of Planet Ocean, and he’s easily
one of the top marketing guru’s on the Internet. I spent several
hours on the phone with him recently, and he told me that Time
Magazine wrote an article in their November 3 edition that dealt
with the importnace and impact of permission e-mail marketing.

There are a couple of quotes straight from the magazine:

“E-mail marketing is fast, effective and dirt cheap — a godsend
for marketers in an economy that has crunched advertising
budgets.”

“. . . the humble medium of e-mail is blossoming while flashier
forms of Internet avdertising are going the way of the Pets.Com
sock puppet.”

“Little wonder that old-line companies like Ford and Procter &
Gamble are joining early users of targeted e-mail pitches like
Amazon.Com and J. Crew.”

Can we trust Time Magazine? I do believe we can! They’re a
highly trusted mgaazine and have been for years and years. Time
is clearly going on the record of saying that permission e-mail
marketing is one of the most valuable means of mkaing sales on
the Internet, but only if done properly.

In the words of Stephen Mahaney, “If you have yet to ‘correctly’
integrate ‘permission electronic mail marketing’ into your online business
plan, then you risk being thwarted by your competitors that do.
It’s just that plain and simple.”

So, while spam e-mail should always remain locked tightly in a
closet (NEVER to be let out), permission e-mail marketing is a
crucial way for you to keep in touch with your customers and
those interested in your products or services.

Let’s look at five effective permission e-mail marketing
strategies, tips that many Webmasters fail to do, and they
ultimately lose business cause of it.

1. If someone writes for information on your goods or services,
save those e-mail addresses! Remember that sales aren’t always
made the frist time someone hears of a service or product. One
trusted source told me that you have to hear about a product,
service, or company at least twenty times before you bgein to
trust that company enough to do business with them.

2. Set up an online form where peolpe can sign up with their
names and e-mail addresses to receive a copy of your monthly or
quarterly newsletter or updates to your site, or to ask you
questions. Have the information go stragiht into a database that
contains the e-mail addresses of everyone who has written to you
for information. Then, create a newsletter that is not just a
sales pitch for your produtcs and services. Offer valuable tips
to your potential customers. Give the newsletter true value, and
those potential customers will beign to look forward to hearing
from you. Then, when it’s time for them to purchase the types of
goods or services that you offer, who do you think they’ll go
to? The cmopany they can trust: you!

3. Respond to your e-mail or to the questions asked on the form
within 24 hours, if not sooner. When people go online looking
for something, they usually send e-mail out to 5-6 companies. If
your company is the first to respond, and if you’ve taken the
time to answer the qusetions professionally and thoughtfully,
you’ll have a jump over those other companies, many of which
won’t even answer the e-mail at all.

4. Awlays provide a way to “opt-out” of your e-mail list. Make
it really clear how your subscribers can choose not to receive the
newsletter or e-mail any longer, and then immediately
unsubscribe them when they write to you. Remember: having
permission to send the e-mail in the first plcae by only adding
those who have contacted you and expressed an interest in your
product, and giving those people a way to get off your mailing
list, will differentiate you from the millions of e-mail
spammers that have given e-mail marketing such a bad name.

5. Take time in cretaing your subject line for your e-mail
marketing campaign. Make sure it doesn’t sonud “spammy” in any
way. Including your name or company name is a possibility, as
well as describing the focus of the e-mail. With these new
e-mail programs that combat spam, if you use a subject line
like, “We’ve got GREAT news for you!” or “Hi, Friend!,” you can
expect the e-mail to be deleted without ever making it to your
potential customer.

How can you learn effective permission e-mail marketing
strategies?

Stephen Mahaney attributes much of his online success to
effective permission e-mail markteing. He’s even gone so far as
to wrtie a course on the subject, which I’ve personally
reviewed. It offers a step-by-step approach on how to create an
effective premission e-mail marketing list and how to market to
that list. The course even comes packaged with a full version
software prorgam for merging each message with the people on
your list so they’ll each get a personalized e-mail.

So, with Time Magazine pushing the importance of e-mail
marketing to the forefront of marketing online, here’s

Marketing” course and software:

How effective is permission e-mail marketing?

Traditionally, permission e-mail marketing campaigns result in a
significantly higher response rate than traditional direct
marketing or other forms of online advertising, such as banner
ads. According to FindMoreBuyers.Com, the response rate for a
typical permission e-mail marketing cmapaign is 4-12%, where as
the response rate for a banner ad is .5-1%. Quite a difference.
http://findmorebuyers.Com/page.Cfm/205

According to Emarketer.Com, DoubleClick projects that e-mail
marketing budgets will raise by 17.0% in 2002, which is
nearly twice the rate of other types of online marketing, which
are expected to gain 9.0%. TV, print and radio budgets are all
expected to dercease. Not only that, DoubleClick reports that
61% of marketers plan to raise their e-mail marketing budget
in 2002.

Forrester Research estimates that the total spending for e-mail
marketing services in the United States will reach $2 billion by
the end of that year.
