Video game players may know that a microtransaction is something that can be purchased as an ‘add-on’ in the game. For example, you might be able to purchase a special shirt for your character or a new song to hear in the background. Now, these microtransactions are being brought to charity golf tournaments. Revolutionizing the way charity golf is played may just help charities raise money in this tough economy.

So, how does it even work? It makes sense that if you want to buy a different guitar for your character in Rock Band you can do that. But, real life microtransactions? One charity golf tournament hosted by Electronic Arts allowed contestants to purchase beach balls to throw. Or, they could pay extra money and throw their opponent’s ball into the water. Other microtransactions might consist of a variety of creative things that allow you to get the one up in the game. It added a much needed spin to the game and drew some attention to the charity.

Charity golf tournaments can be a huge money maker for charities. With a lot of planning and organization and the right celebrities there may be a huge crowd in attendance. By adding a little spin to the game it is giving the crowd, not only another reason to pay and attend the event, but giving those playing the game the ability to get a little bit more creative. Further, it will help the charity raise some extra cash. Even if it is only enough to cover some of the costs of hosting the golf tournament, it will allow the charity to put more money to its true purpose.

Who would think that video game concepts would make their way into mainstream society so easily? What will be next? Can we see microtransactions becoming a part of our society in other ways? Imagine having the option to purchase things like this at work. Maybe you would be allowed to purchase some flair for your desk to show your team spirit. Maybe the more microtransactions you purchase the happier your boss would be – how much flair do you have? Wait, that might be the movie Office Space and not real life.

Okay, well maybe it won’t get that far. However, ideas such as these can add a new dimension to otherwise routine events. After all, if video game ideas are finding their way into mainstream society the sky must be the limit. From school fundraisers to the office environment, we might find a use for microtransactions in daily life. It is going to take the unique and creative to get people spending during this touch economy, especially if the expenditures aren’t directly affecting them and their necessities.

We need charities and they need our money. However, in order to convince an increasingly money conscientious society that they should spend a lot of money at a charity golf tournament, something will need to change. In this type of economy the unique and creative ways to fundraise are going to make all the difference. With some ingenuity and some creative thinking golf tournaments can still make the enormous amounts of money they have made in the past. The money is out there just waiting to be spent. Make sure you do what it takes to tap into it.

I play Golf and have had this argument with many people trying to tell me that it is not a sport but rather a game or hobby, so I need your opinions what classifies a sport.

(For the record: My answer is if I can buy supplies for it at Sports Authority, and watch it on CBS Sports, then its a sport)

I have a 1999 Vw golf 1.6se. In the last 3 months I have changed the alternator to a refurbished one. Today i got the same message on my computer saying “Alternator Workshop”. I have a 2000 watt amplifier connected to my power supply, could this be killing the alternator.

Thanks

As Tiger Woods stated during the 2007 PGA Championship, technology in a golf ball has dramatically changed since they were last at Southern Hills in 2001. Golf ball have been made of many different things and many different ways. Here is a quick history lesson on how the golf ball has evolved.

Again, the construction and design of golf balls has changed drastically since the game.s inception. One of the main responsibilities of an original golf professional was to be the maker of golf balls. Some of the very first golf balls were made out of a leather pouch which in turn was packed full of goose feathers. The feathers were wet when being inserted into the pouch. The .ball. would then dry and the feathers would become hard and solid. A good drive with a goose feather ball or a .feathery. was thought to be in the 150-175 yard range. Featheries were the most common ball used up until 1848.

Around 1848, the Gutta-percha ball was created. These golf balls were made of the dried gum from Malaysian sapodilla trees. These golf balls were very smooth initially and were much more difficult to control as opposed to the .featheries.. However, with use, these balls became scuffed up, their exteriors becoming rough. The .new aerodynamics. allowed the golf balls to be controlled much easier. After this discovery, the gutta-percha balls started being manufactured with rough exteriors. This construction is equivalent to, and the basis of, modern day dimpled golf balls.

In 1898, the Haskell golf ball was invented by Coburn Haskell. Haskell introduced the one-piece rubber cored ball which was universally adopted by 1901 after it proved so effective in the British and US Opens. The Haskell golf balls looked just like the Gutta-percha balls. The good news for the average golfer was the Haskell ball gave the average golfer an extra 20 yards from the tee. The Haskell golf balls were constructed from a solid rubber core wrapped in rubber thread encased in a gutta-percha sphere. This enabled W. Millison to develop a thread-winding machine which allowed the Haskell balls to be mass-produced and therefore more affordable to all golfers.

Throughout this period of the American Industrial Revolution, there was a lot of experimentation with the patterns on golf balls and how to manufacture them. This is one of the reasons why golf ball collecting from this era is so interesting. When William Taylor first applied the dimple pattern to a Haskell ball in 1905, golf balls took on their modern form. The dimple pattern maximizes lift while minimizing drag.

After the turn of the century, manufacturers continued to experiment with golf ball design. In 1906, Goodrich introduced the pneumatic ball. The pneumatic ball was a Haskell ball with a compressed air core, which at that time was prone to expansion with heat. This lead to what you could imagine would be some funny or uncomfortable moments on the golf course as the ball from time to time explode. Other substances were experimented with including mercury, cork and metal cores. Seventy years after the turn of the century, Spalding introduced the Executive which was the first two piece golf ball.

The R&A and USGA have standardized the size and weight of the ball. Since then further constraints have been proposed which are detailed in the rules. The manufacturers are now experimenting with many different materials and size of the covers.

With all of the advances in recent golf ball technology, today most golf balls have a durable cover. Any player should ask their local PGA Professional for some advice using the player.s specific ball speeds, etc. Then try a few different balls from manufacturers before making a final choice. Try a few different balls in the appropriate category for you and find one that makes you feel lucky. After learning from your local PGA Professional and trying out a few different manufactures, you should have confidence in your golf ball.

Bryan A asked:


Ok here’s the thing: I play golf and there’s an open space of long grass by my house. I would like to mow myself a putting green, but I cannot afford a high end lawnmower for greens that golf courses use. They obviously use to use reel mowers at some point in the past and so I would like to know the type of reel mowers they use to use and attempt to buy one.
