Want to save big bucks on your green fees in 2011? I’ll show you how.

-AN INSIDE LOOK IN TO WISCONSIN’S STATEWIDE DISCOUNT GOLF BOOK – “MY” BIRDIE BOOK

Recommended by the WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL

     I’m sure everyone knows that over the years Wisconsin golf course green fees have fluctuated quite a bit.  This is a direct result of our ever changing economy and what our great courses are doing to keep you coming back.  Through the golf show & email polls we’ve taken it’s apparent that WI golfers obviously want to play more and try new courses.  Money is tight and it’s become much more difficult for the average person in Wisconsin to achieve this.  It’s a very cyclical  process. If golfers can’t afford to play as much or travel to go play the new, interesting course they’ve been thinking about than the golf courses suffer too.  We have so many amazing golf courses in Wisconsin and some have even started to close their doors because of the current economic state.  It’s not all gloomy though as we have talked to many courses that have started to see an upswing in business.  It’s good to hear positive news!

Why am I telling you this?   Simple, this is the reason we decided to create the Birdie Book.  Golfers and Golf Courses needed an avenue to bring one another together during not so positive times.  Yes, we’ve all seen local discount golf cards, expensive golf packages, and even other books that might have a few golf course specials but nothing that really worked for both parties.  The golfer and the golf courses are what’s important here.  While these other avenues worked OK the Birdie Book offers something completely different, more aggressive, and certainly much more affordable to Wisconsin golfers and courses.
“My” Birdie Book is a simple, full color, high quality publication that gets released yearly and for 2011 currently has partnered with over 170 amazing Wisconsin Golf Courses.  It’s one book that covers our entire state and each of these golf courses has a minimum of two aggressive tee time specials for golfers to take advantage of.  It has double to triple the courses of any other Wisconsin golf discount options and you can purchase it for only $20.00.  In 2011 we did something new and added some great golf shops across the state as well.

Here’s why it works.  First and foremost the Birdie Book does NOT charge golf courses to participate like most other discount type companies.  Our thought process as a local, based out of Madison, Wisconsin born company is that the courses shouldn’t have to pay to discount their services or tee times.  Adding to that philosophy, as a golfer I wouldn’t want to and won’t personally pay $75.00 to $400.00 for for golf specials.  That’s where the sponsors come in that you see on our website and in the actual Birdie Book.  These are the the people that we ow a huge thank you too for making it all come together.  Without companies like TaylorMade, Addidas, Laser Link, Nevada Bob’s, and a few others the book wouldn’t be possible.  It would either be much more expensive for the golfer to purchase or the golf courses would have to pay to participate.  In our opinion both are bad options which is why we greatly appreciate our sponsor partnerships and we ask you as Birdie Book owners to keep that in mind when purchasing your new clubs, rangefinder, or golf equipment in general.

The third part of the Birdie Book is the fact that kids and junior golf programs across the state also benefit from it.  We are partnering with many high school golf teams, non profits, and other organizations that use the Birdie Book as a fund raising tool.  What a great way for them to maintain their equipment needs while promoting courses around the state.

As I mentioned above the Birdie Book is cyclical.   From the great National Sponsors, to bringing golfers and golf courses together, and lastly supporting junior golf, everyone benefits.  It really is amazing and we hope you feel the same.  Thanks for taking the time to check out the Birdie Book and why we’re here.  If you ever have any questions or concerns please call or email Joe, Elliot, or Brett.  We are located in Madison and want to here from you.  Have a great Holiday Season and keep checking back for updates!
