Facebook

I have started using the clubs facebook page to put a lot of agronomy updates on that shows what we are doing to course on almost a daily basis.  If you are one of my blog readers and want to follow along on facebook please "like" our clubs page.

Lewiston Golf and Country Club facebook


It is amazing how much people enjoy reading about what goes into the work and preparation of the golf course.  I get comments from my members and readers all the time about how they never realized what exactly was involved in golf course maintenance and the blog and facebook are great communication tools that so many members, golfers, and readers here at LGCC are enjoying.

Thank you for all the positive feedback.

The Power of Social Media

In our day and age right now social media is a very amazing tool to distribute information and inform a group of people.  I started my turf maintenance blog last winter to inform my members what was taking place on the golf course and what we actually do to maintain a high level course.

Last week I created a twitter account to only share my blog and spread the information, not going to be a tweeter or twerker or a re-tweeter.  Currently I have an entire 2 followers on twitter.  Last week I did a typical post to my blog about what we do on the golf course to control Canada geese and why the golfers will see fishing lines running across the pond, and then I tweeted the link to it on my twitter account.

Well one person re-tweeted it and it was picked up by 3 turf related companies that all re-tweeted it and all of sudden it was tweeted to 9,000 followers.  One tweet to 2 followers lead to a tweet to 9,000 followers, which led to 1000 views on my blog in that 1 day.  My small northern Idaho blog that gets 50 views per day now has 1000 views in 1 day by golf course related individuals across the US.

Amazing what 2 clicks of the mouse does today compered to just a few years ago.

Thank you to all my readers and followers. Have a great Holiday Season
