Social Media for Golfers

For an avid golfer, golfing can be so enjoyable that for some their passion goes well beyond the course. Many golfers seek to meet others who share the same drive for the game of golf as they do. They often wish to get golfing tips or to know how to get involved with golf related events but aren’t sure where to access this information.
Well, thanks to the ever-growing Internet, there are now a number of websites devoted exclusively to social media and networking for golfers and fans of golf. National Hole-in-One Association has done some research for you:
GNN (Golf News Net)
This site provides the latest news in the world of golf. The online community allows for open dialogue in regard to professional golf tours, celebrity golf tournaments, charity golf tournaments, and much more. Members can get tips and tricks on improving their own game, inside scoops on certain golf courses, information on golf equipment, and pretty much any type of information a golfer may be looking for.
GNN shares interviews with professional golfers, commentary from major golf tournaments, the latest news about golf, and direct access to Ryan Ballengee. Ryan is the host of The 19th Hole Golf Show and LPGA on GNN and the author of many weekly syndicated golf articles. He also moderates for Waggle Room, which is in collaboration with GNN.
Golf News Net has also created the most popular blog spot for golfers, called Waggle Room. Together these social media sites are able to help major golf tours promote online, educate other golfers and fans, and much more. Both sites work together to bring the most social media to the golfing world.
Waggle Room
An extension of GNN and the most popular blog site for golfers, Waggle Room is user-generated by allowing members to post their own articles into Waggle Room’s blogs. Known as ‘FanPosts’ and ‘FanShots,’ members can upload their own content, stats, pics, and pure funnies that may or may not have to do with golf. Any site visitor may access the schedule for major golf events, such as the PGA Tour, at any time.
Just like with GNN, you can send direct questions to Ryan Ballengee. He promises to have access to the best of the best in golf to get you the answers you need.
Both GNN and Waggle Room are free to join and use.
The Golf Space
Also a free social media site for golf enthusiasts, The Golf Space allows members to add content, pictures, and even videos. Members may add a picture to their profile and The Golf Space provides members with email capabilities straight through the site.
Everyone’s heard of ‘Fantasy Football,’ but what about ‘Fantasy Golf?’ With The Golf Space, you can create your own Fantasy Golf team and join in on the SMACK TALK Thread. This site also offers an open forum and blog space.
Hole-in-One Insurance
If you are looking for information on golf insurance to host a ‘Hole-in-One Contest’ or some type of putting contest, we can help. National Hole-in-One Association offers Hole-in-One Insurance to cover any prize amount you wish to give.
