I ran this by Sling for posting this on here, and he had no problem.
This is a small venture that I plan to partake in over the course of the next year. I have made a living as a programmer for the better part of 10 years, and have been an avid photographer for my entire life. I do not feel the Poconos has an adequate site relating to golf in the area. Over the course of the next year I plan on photographing all of the courses that I play and providing not only course and fee information, scorecards, available facilities, directions but photographs of all holes on the course as well. I further plan on setting up a review section for people to post comments on the listed courses. I am not sure where this will head, or if in the end it will even be launched, but it seemed like something I would enjoy. Again, it is probably a year away prior to even opening up the site. My reason for posting is to get an idea of what people may think would be beneficial to have on such a site in relation to the courses, any known ramifications behind posting information about the courses and whether they would need to sign off in any way. My intention is not to start a forum, other than the possibility of reviewing the Pocono Courses, although next year if it does pan out, I would probably instead talk with Sling about his thoughts on linking Shottalk in the site, if he so desired. If it pans out, in the end I may try to work with the courses on trying to generate revenue through this venture. The idea of soliciting business on designing course websites may be in the future as well.
Again, this will only be for the Pocono area, although I am sure there are many ideas out there that others would like to see in relation to their local courses that I could use in planning such a site. Any ideas you guys may have to include would be appreciated
