One More Event
As we determine our schedule for 2008, let us look at our committment to playing golf this year. I still believe the majority of us got into the golf business to play golf. As your Tournament Policy Board Chairperson, I am asking you to consider playing in one more event this year. Look at the Wisconsin PGA website for the tournament schedule and make that pledge. Whether the event is a stroke play or pro-am, put it on your calendar today.

MADE IN THE USA
Many of you already are familiar with the Pyramid Stacker, an industry-changing product “made in the USA”—from concept, through materials, through production—by Jack Thomsen Enterprises at Transcendental Golf.
Why not broaden your horizons beyond the Pyramid Stacker? Become acquainted with Jack Thomsen Enterprises’ range of stellar teaching aids, including:
The Golf-Practice Mirror that helps the golfer reflect upon—and come to understand and utilize—proper spine angles. It’s available to all PGA professionals for just $120 (not including packaging and shipping)—a discount of almost 35%.
The Crooked Lies Golf Mat addresses the fact that only 20% of all golf shots are hit from a flat lie. As its name implies, the Crooked Lies allows the golf professional to teach the crucial 80%: uphill, downhill and side-hill lies.
Transcendental Golf’s Mobile Wedge Course can be a great source of revenue for your facility. I encourage you to see for yourselves. Visit us, play the course, experience the teaching tool that integrates practice and play.
For more information on these and other products, visit http://www.jtgolf.com or phone 1-800-635-0319.

Member Services
January 9, 2008
Good morning and Happy New Year to you all,
As your chair of the Member Services Committee you will be hearing from me a number of times throughout the year. At our recent Board of Directors Meeting (1-7-2008) we discussed how we as a Board can assist in making our section a leader in many different initiatives. Member Services has 4 initiatives that we have done well in but this year I/we will push the section to be one of the best. Our goal is to be in the top five in these categories:
-Performance Trak
-Retirement +
-Certification
-Compensation Survey
Many of you have now received the email for the compensation survey so please take the time to complete it. You may feel that it is a waste of time or that it really does you no good but in the end it is a great tool for all of us to have. It may benefit someone else in the short term but in the long run you may be able to use something to better your position.
Those of you that have questions please feel free to contact me or if attending the upcoming PGA Show stop by the PGA Booth and get the information you need regarding these great initiatives.
Have agreat day,
Rob

Members Assistance Program (MAP) news
Joe has a great idea for an open exchange of information on areas of interest to the members. I see this as an opportunity to make frequent, direct contact regarding information that might, should, could be of interest. It is also a place for questions and discussion. One aspect of my role is providing help when people get stuck, to help them get unstuck. Sometimes it's to lend an ear as they talk a problem through. Another service helps members link up with local resources to help resolve concerns and issues. I love that part of my job. A part I love even more is working with sucessful people to be even more successful in their lives - professionally, as an individual, a spouse, parent, friend. Improving creativity, concentration, energy, physically, mentally and spiritually.
We may take if for granted, or joke about it. But people who take golf into their lives are different from those who don't in a number of ways. The sport is more than a sport, it's more than an activity, it's more than competition and achievement. You know that. The positions you hold at your course, club, range or shop touches many people in more ways than most of us can imaging. Your advice, patience and support helps people reach inside of themselves to accomplish something that is very important and powerful for them. It allows them opportunites to visit beautiful courses and enjoy the experience - because the can find their ball!
You know the drill.
Your MAP program has been created to help you and your families if help is needed. It is a tool that you can use if you have a friend in the Section that is having problems and doesn't know where to turn. A phone call is all it takes. But that phone call is often a huge step. In life, what we want is often on the other side of a closed door. It takes courage to open that door and find out what is on the other side. That is the journey that I would like to talk about in future notes.
