Tom King's Blog (22)

My  publisher for "Going for the Green: How to Raise Money With Charity Golf" was bought out by a Canadian company. Not sure when it will be available again. We're talking about doing a new one called "Secrets of the Six-Figure Golf Tournament."

Till then, you can buy a copy of Going for the Green directly from me for $20 shipping included. I've got about 20 copies left.  Drop me a note in my inbox and I'll hook you up.

Good luck with your tournaments.

I've been out of the saddle for several months now with a family health issue and a long bout with a string of very large kidney stones. In the meantime, Ning has reduced its features, adding a monthly price tag to the features we used to get included with the website. For now we're going to work on getting some participation on the forums and add the library archive and some of the other features we had before. In the meantime, we'll be looking for a sponsor or two to pay for the upgraded…
