Free Tip and a Free Putter
The Tip
Golf courses are wrestling with a way to most efficiently use the new social media, and Deerfield Golf Club in Newark, DE has come up with an interesting new twist: You can get a free swing tip if you sign up to become a fan of the course on Facebook.
For a limited time, the club's professionals will answer questions from golfers on the Deerfield Facebook page. It is a nice way to introduce their teaching philosophies to golfers, who can then book a lesson if they'd like to work on things the best way -- in person. For more information, you can call the Pro Shop at 302-368-6640 ext 3.
The Putter
Once in a while, when doing the legwork over at www.DealTrackerGolf.com I stumble on one that is hard to resist. This one is beyond that... it is a no-brainer: a major online retailer is giving away a Ray Cook Putter with any purchase. That's right, ANY purchase... no minimum order required. So this is either a great bonus if you're in the market for some golf equipment, or just buy a bag of tees to get this putter for next-to-nothing. Ray Cook Putters never quite took off... but their quality is light years ahead of what you'd expect from a freebie like this. The deal expires Thursday night or earlier if supplies run out. Just click through the link you'll find here at DealTrackerGolf and enjoy your free flat stick.
