These guys are based out of Michigan, so it’s not exactly an “Orlando Specific” deal, buuuut… due to the wonders of the internet, you too can partake of the celebration! I received an email about this and figured it was worth mentioning.
For their 50th anniversary, they’re giving away 50 Ultimate Golf Experiences.
I say good for them, way to reach the Golden(??) Anniversary!
I’m look forward to that golf outing with ‘Ol Tiger! 🙂
I was contacted by a gent named Nev, who is helping them get their blog started and train their staff on blogging and I thought that was pretty interesting. It seems to me that more and more businesses are getting into blogging. Blogging is no longer only for those of us who like to rant and rave about various things, hoping to one day get some free crap out of it (or am I the only one? :)). Blogging has becoming a recognized and accepted media outlet for marketing and advertising and now the big dogs are paying folks to help them create them. Think it’s time to write a book! 🙂

Catchy, no?
Below is the history of The GolfLand
The Golfland Story
The year was 1958. There was a total eclipse of the sun. The New York Yankees won the World Series and Arnold Palmer won the 1st of his 4 Masters Championships. And while the first satellite from the United States was launched into space, the first golf ball was launched from Carl’s Golfland.
Starting as a small driving range on the outskirts of Pontiac, Michigan, Carl Rose and his wife Donna opened the original Carl’s Golfland. Golf was a little known sport back then. But the Roses had a dream.
As the game of golf grew so did Carl’s. In 1962 Arnold Palmer won the Masters for the third time, the Yankees again won the World Series and Carl’s Golfland moved to what would be our present location in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. What started out as a 750 square foot building, has grown to our present capacity of over 20,000 square feet of store plus a 15-acre-world-class practice facility.
Carl’s Golfland is proud to be the only off-course golf store to be named to the prestigious Golf World Top 100 Golf Shops every year since the award started in 1985. In addition Golf World named Carl’s Best of The Best in 2006.
In October of 2000 Carl’s Golfland opened a second location at the St. John’s Golf and Conference Center in Plymouth, Michigan. The new state of the art store is a showplace among all the golf retail stores in the country. The Plymouth location also has a full practice facility featuring: grass tees, heated tees, putting green, sand bunker and chipping area. The St. John’s Golf and Conference Center features a challenging 27-hole golf course, full service conference center and world-class hotel.
Carl’s Golfland prides itself on offering only pro-line equipment and the finest names in apparel. We carry the largest selection at guaranteed lowest prices. Carl’s Golfland is proud to have on staff PGA Class A Professionals giving lessons to all ages. A PGA Life Member, Carl Rose is still an active part in the growth and direction of the business that bares his name.
Carl’s Golfland. Because When All You Do IS Golf, You Do Golf Best!
