FREE NEW GUIDE AND WEBSITE SCORE ACE FOR SAN DIEGO GOLF TOURNAMENT PLANNERS Scramble? Reverse shotgun? Punched greens? Aeration? Best ball with mulligans for sale, $5 each? Bingo bango bongo? Confusion? (You can say that again.) Yes, the language of golf tournaments can be confusing. Not understanding the "lingo" can also be frustrating and expensive for meeting and event planners organizing golf tournaments (who, more than 75% of the time, are women, of superb credentials and skills, but who don't golf and thus don't know the right questions to ask). To the rescue comes the new San Diego Golf Tournament and Facilities Guide and its companion Website, www.GolfTournamentGuide.com. Rookie tournament planners will find a comprehensive set of free resources on the Website, including: a glossary to decipher "golf speak;" educational "eBooks" on tournament topics such as Putting Games and Golf Handicapping Systems; downloadable Golf Tournament Planner; and a seven-day eCourse with lesson topics including "How to Explode Your Golf Event's Bottom Line." Planners who register on the site (registration is fast and free) can, with one click, e-mail the entire course list with their questions and parameters such as dates, rates, and special requests. The Website also offers an opt-in monthly newsletter, a Planner's Forum message board where event planners can interact with other planners, suppliers, golf course representatives, and GolfTournamentGuide.com's expert tournament planner, Mike Mucci. The magazine-style guide offers comprehensive details on more than 20 golf courses in the greater San Diego area. Both the guide and the Website are produced by the long-time publisher of the San Diego Golf Guide and San Diego Golf Map. In its guidebook format or online at GolfTournamentGuide.com, these resources offer a "dead-solid-perfect" line to a higher golf event "IQ." The San Diego Golf Tournament and Facilities Guide is free and can be ordered by calling toll-free, (800) 799-7373 or viewed online at www.GolfTournamentGuide.com. The guide is produced by the Certified Custom Publishing, a division of Certified Folder Display Service, Inc. Certified is North America's largest professional rack brochure distribution and display company. Based in San Diego, the 100-year-old company has established a tremendous amount of credibility, good will, and contacts in the travel industry via its primary service: providing and maintaining visitor information display racks at more than 19,000 locations throughout the Western United States and Western Canada.
