About Us
The
Carolina Golf News Today
is the child of the
Unifour Golf Magazine
that was started in January,
2003. The
Unifour Golf Magazine started out as a
monthly printed product that eventually grew to
30,000 copies that were home delivered in the four
counties of Alexander, Burke, Caldwell and
Catawba-thus the name Unifour.
The
principle goal of the
Unifour Golf Magazine was to
shine a spotlight on anything to do with amateur
golf in the hopes that notoriety would be a magnet
to draw more people to the wonderful game of golf.
That included club news of any sort, middle school
golf, high school golf, local college golf and
golf tournaments of all verities.
We
discovered that as the years went by the kids we
covered in middle school were the ones we covered
in high school and would be the same ones we
would cover in college. In between, we also covered the
kids that played in a lot of the state and
regional golf tournaments as they were building
their golf resumes. This proved to be very
successful as the parents called wanting
additional copies to be sent out to all of the
relatives. Yes indeed the spotlight is a great
magnet.
Now
we are going to do the same thing except on a
larger scale.
The
Carolina Golf News Today
will cover the entire
state of North Carolina. This is where our readers
can help us out. We ask that our readers get with
their club pros and ask them to begin feeding us
anything of interest no matter how insignificant
it may sound. Also, ask your club to buy an
inexpensive digital and video camera in order to add photos
to their submissions.
We
have contacted every high school in North
Carolina. When we contacted them we asked each of
the coaches to contact the coaches of the Middle
schools that feed into their high school program
and make them aware of what we are doing.
Eventually we will have reports from all across
the state from both the high school and middle
school golf programs. Next we have alerted all of
the North Carolina College Coaches of what we are
doing and they have all said that what we have
planned will be a great tool for them to scout our
future talent. As we move into 2011 we will also make a
solid effort to contact all of the independent
schools in North Carolina.
We
are working towards making
The
Carolina Golf News Today
the "Golf Central for North Carolina" Our format
will be similar to a newspaper meaning that we
will be updating it everyday except Saturdays. By
doing this we are hoping that you our readers will
be visit
our website every day. There will be a "Front
Page" for the "Big Story" and the rest of the
story will be found in the section of the
newspaper where the story originates from.
The
Carolina Golf News Today
will have a front
page and four regional front pages. The highest
ranked amateur golf stories will be the lead with
several of the next highest ranked amateur golf
stories. Each story with have a headline, photos
and a few paragraphs with the rest of the story
thrown back to the regional page that the golf
stories originated from. Each of the regional
pages will have its own headline with those
continuations from the Front Page filling in the
body of each of the regional pages.
From
each of the regional pages you will be able to go
to one of the high school conferences that is
located in that region. At the conference page you
will see that you can access each high school that
is a participant in that conference. Eventually
there will be middle schools listed there also.
Once you get all the way down to the school level
you will see the results of each of the school's
players. After 2011 we will incorporate a players
"Bio" that will be accessed by clicking on the
players photo much like colleges do.
The
Carolina Golf News Today
will have a single classified section that will
cover the entire state letting
you the reader unload those retired clubs, to buy,
to sell and rent real estate as well as anything
else. The Classified section will work just like
the ones you see in most daily newspapers.
For
the traveling golfer the
Carolina
Golf News Today
will have a course directory accompanied by
recommended places of "Where to Eat" and
"Where to Stay" while on your golfing
safari. The Carolina Golf News Today is set up
into three
regions titled the East Region, Central Region and
the West Region. Each region will have its own
golf directory along with where to eat and stay recommendations.
(Still developing)
There
is no way a printed product could attempt what the
Carolina Golf News Today
is going to accomplish. With your support we will
have a top shelf product that will make you proud
to come on board. You too can be a part of this
great effort by sending in your own stories,
photos, recommendations etc. Welcome aboard and may you always keep
it in the short grass.
