With warm<br />
weather upqe<br />
us, golfers<br />
already are fill-<br />
ing up the<br />
greens and golf<br />
terms increas-<br />
ingly are crop-<br />
ping up during<br />
conversations at<br />
social gather-<br />
ings. Golf surely<br />
must be one of<br />
the top, if not<br />
the top, partici-<br />
patorywarm- weather golf in this country.<br />
I recently came across IGOLF,<br />
a popular and talked-about Web-<br />
site on the Internet. IGOLF also<br />
is on American Online and for<br />
that reason, too, has been writ-<br />
ten about in computer maga-<br />
zines. A few months ago I<br />
learned that this site has strong<br />
local connections.<br />
And so when you visit<br />
http://www.igolf.com/index.html<br />
you will be taking advantage of<br />
many features developed by two<br />
area residents, Dave Richards<br />
and Holly Geoghegan.,<br />
The top of the IGOLF home<br />
page invites you to the site's golf<br />
chat. Links include This Week in<br />
Golf, Leaderboards, Instruction,<br />
Tfre Tours, Club Daze, Game<br />
Room, Swizzlestick G&CC,<br />
Equipment, Travel, Architec-<br />
ture, Writer's Block, Photo<br />
Gallery, Industry/Stocks, Golf<br />
History, Environment, and<br />
IGOLFOLOGY. In the center of<br />
the page are links to headlines of<br />
current golf stories, and high-<br />
lights.<br />
Richards and Geoghegan tfre<br />
principles of Golf Marketing Ser-<br />
"vices, a public relations, media,<br />
marketing and networking con-<br />
sulting firm baSed in Bloomfield<br />
Hills that specializes in the golf<br />
business.<br />
In.public relations circles,<br />
Richards is known for his efforts<br />
in developing northern Michigan<br />
as a golf destination. Recognized<br />
as one of the top golf photogra-<br />
phers in the country, his photos<br />
have appeared in many national<br />
magazines. "—<br />
Geoghegan has served as<br />
director of communications for<br />
the Ladies Professional Golf<br />
Association, was executive direc-<br />
tor of Golfweek Academy, and<br />
has created marketing programs<br />
for Spalding, Taylor Made, Ash-<br />
worth and others. A freelSnce<br />
golf writer and reporter. sW<br />
helped form the International<br />
Network of Golf.<br />
Golf Marketing Services,<br />
founded by Richards in 1990,<br />
represents more than 20 golf<br />
resorts and golf courses in Michi-<br />
gan, Lake of the Ozarks, and<br />
Florida. Among its Michigan<br />
clients is Grand Traverse Resort,<br />
Shanty Creek, Boyne USA Gar-<br />
land, and Bay Harbor.<br />
In addition, GMS is the lead<br />
industry consultant for IGOLF,<br />
the comprehensive, interactive,<br />
electronic golf area on AOL and<br />
on the Web. In 1994, Richards<br />
merged GMS with Sportventures<br />
International, a marketing and<br />
PR company owned by Geoghe-<br />
gan.<br />
In 1995, the two teamed up on<br />
several new and innovative pro-<br />
jects, including IGOLF. GMS<br />
also was instrumental in guiding<br />
InterZine Productions, Inc.,<br />
formed in 1994 to produce inter-<br />
active content for online services,<br />
through the golf business last<br />
year. Under GMS' guidance,<br />
InterZine launched IGOLF in<br />
1995 and it became th^May 6,<br />
1995, cover story of<br />
GOLFWEEK.<br />
"We have been very impressed<br />
with Golf Marketing Services'<br />
- knowledge of the golf industry,<br />
its quick grasp of this enormous<br />
project and ability to get<br />
results," said Brian Henley, co-<br />
founder of InterZine and IGOLF.<br />
"Golf Marketing Services has<br />
assisted us in taking IGOLF to<br />
all areas of the golf industry,<br />
from the manufacturers and<br />
associations to the media and<br />
golf personalities." - .<br />
Henley adds that Richards and<br />
Geoghegan are industry insiders<br />
who have quickly acclimated<br />
themselves to the cutting edge of<br />
cyberspace and its unlimited<br />
potential in relation to their role<br />
as industry consultants whose<br />
job it is to disseminata informa-<br />
tion.<br />
"Its the most fascinating pro-<br />
ject we've ever worked on." said<br />
Richards. "The online world is<br />
not limited by any boundaries,<br />
real or imagined. That allows<br />
editors and companies to be<br />
totally creative in developing<br />
editorial and marketing con-<br />
cepts. The industry reaction to<br />
InterZine and the IGOLF project<br />
has been overwhelmingly posi-<br />
tive."<br />
"Being an interactive medium,<br />
the feedback is immediate and<br />
significant," said Geoghegan.<br />
"Everyone in the industry now<br />
knows it is the wave of the<br />
future."<br />
Now that you know about<br />
these two, if you enjoy golf or not<br />
take a look at<br />
http://www.igolf.com/index.html<br />
to see how they use the World<br />
Wide Web as a means of dis-<br />
tributing information to both<br />
select and broad audiences.<br />
