Welcome to 9or18.com! My name is Kevin Canale. I am a PGA Professional from the NENY Section, and the founder of this spectacular site. My vision for this site was three fold. First, as a manager of a small public facility, I saw a need for an affordable way to market our greens fee specials and increase rounds. Second, as a PGA Professional, I wanted internet exposure to promote myself and my lessons. Third, but certainly not last, a one stop shop for the golfing public to have a free directory, find coupons and deals and create a social golf community (the 19th hole).
I feel we accomplished these goals and more. Golf courses can market themselves and drive traffic to their site and course. They can post and most importantly, change a coupon offering on a daily basis. Golf pros can make their own web page to promote themselves and their lesson programs, keep in contact with their students and post coupons for lesson discounts (all for free). Anyone can use our free directory to find course phone numbers, directions, and best of all, take advantage of course coupons (all for free). Everyone can join in on the social golf community in our facebook-like 19th hole. A great way to keep in touch with other golfers, for leagues to communicate, or even for clubs to interact with members or post tournament info for the entire web to see.
The site will be ever evolving. We are currently working on creating virtual lessons and programs for leagues to keep track of stats and handicapping. Enjoy the site and keep swinging.
