Answer: Website Builder allows
you to start with a website template. The template choices include:
- Golf League Website
- Golf Tournament Website

content though from one to the other.

| Web Design Tips |
|
Make your website more useful and appealing.
Web Design Tip #1
When thinking of a custom website name (domain name),
making it memorable is more important than making it short.
Web Design Tip #2
Make it easy on your website visitors by turning text
references into links. Throughout this page, you'll see links that make it
easier for people to click on then copying and pasting the actual link text.
Both Website Designer and Website Builder allow you to add links. |

League Fun Night
A way to mix things up during the season is to throw in a Fun
Night in the middle of the season.
Try inserting a best ball or other type of mini tournament or
change up the players for one event. Make things interesting so people want to
keep playing!

| Golf Quotations |
|
“What
other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good
drive.”
– Arnold Palmer
“Golf... is the infallible test. The man who can
go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching
him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully
and well.”
– P.G. Wodehouse
“You know, the Oscar I was awarded for The
Untouchables is a wonderful thing, but I can honestly say that I'd rather have
won the US Open Golf Tournament.”
– Sean Connery |
