Reflection on Phil Mickelsons current status
To San Diego, Phil Mickelson is our Home Town Hero. He is not only known for his accomplishments in Golf, but his devotion to his wife and family. He has suspended his PGA tour indefinitely, due to the recent news. Thankfully, because of social networking, we have the ability to share support. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Mickelson family.

What do hooters and golf courses have in common?
Finding daily golf deals around San Diego county can be pretty tough right now, but what do golf and hooters have in common? Actually, hooters and golf courses have a lot in common. They actually built a hooters right near a golf course in my hometown Oceanside, CA. who'd of thought? Its finished now but i happen to get a picture of hooters being built on the course a couple years ago and thought i would share. This just happens to be in my back yard too, so sometimes after a good round of skins at El Camino County Club Golf Course in Oceanside, I head over to hooters for some wings and things. Oceanside has some other great courses too like Goat Hill where i learned to play golf and took lessons with a Pro Lud. Those were some great times, winning closest to the pin for a hot dog and getting a FREE round. I miss those days. Social Networking for business is a lot like golf. You can actually have fun while building business relationships whether its on the course OR on a social site like linked-in or twitter.

2 Ways Golf Relates To Business, Social Networking and Twitter
Two passions of mine are golf and business. These two are very similar, especially how it relates in the on-line world. As we become a more digitally connected society, it is important to build business relationships online in the virtual world as well as the golf course. A lot of business deals believe it or not are done on many golf courses around the world. I have come up with some unique ways golf relates to social networking for business. I am interested in your feedback so please let me know if these are sufficient points.
1. Your business takes time to grow, just like your golf game
No one can go out and shoot 72 their first time. Just like in business, no one becomes a success overnight. It takes years of building up. Some newbie golfers go to golf camp to learn the basics or possibly a golf boot camp for the fast track approach. Just like this company in San Diego called Social Networking San Diego gives the fast track to social media and social networking for business purposes. The same applies in online businesses. The point is You MUST get educated on how to do business online if you are to play the business game online.
2. Golfing is usually done with friends, business partners, or colleagues
I cant tell you how many times i have been golfing with people i enjoy spending time with. I have been golfing with clients, partners, and of course family and friends. The thing to understand is golf is relationship building just like social networking. It takes time and those who are in it for the short run or are looking at twitter negatively just don't get it. Twitter is just a communication tool to build relationships online. Think of it like a virtual networking group on demand.

Top Golf Courses For Summers In Southern California
I'm always asked whenever on twitter, a business call, or some other social networking site, whats the best course you've played in Southern California? Your so lucky to have the Florida weather without the humidity. I must say that's a hard one to answer. But i do enjoy playing at Rams Hill in Borrego Springs. Why you ask? That is a yearly gathering spot for myself, my uncles, and my Father. We love getting away from the traffic on the 5 freeway for a few days, away from the southern California rat race, and hit the links at Rams Hill for the weekend. This helps us keep our sanity while living in this screwed up state. Also, Not to many foursomes out during 105 degree weather, but hey my dad likes it so what the heck. Above is a pic of Rams Hill when they were re-doing it. We had to play another local course close by that trip, but looking forward to going back this summer. This is definitely a hidden jewel if you want to play golf in peace, don't mind 105 degree temperatures, and no traffic of course. i did shoot an 86 there last time i played which was quite good considering almost getting heat stroke. What is your favorite So Cal Course? Leave me a comment below- thanks

What do golf and the Kentucky derby have in common?
Golf and the Kentucky derby have a lot in common. The winner of the Kentucky derby today was a horse by the name of mine that bird. Funny how there is an interesting connection between the twitter bird icon of the social networking for business site twitter and the winner of todays Kentucky derby. This was a long shot (just like twitter has been, but they surely are beating the odds just like "mine that bird" did today.)
Golf has gambling too associated with it sometimes. a friendly game of skins, best ball tournaments for a good cause, or just your long drive contest. I will be keeping you all up to date with golf tips, tricks, golf deals, and golf discounts relating to the southern California area so check back soon.
