Parmasters KW and Others Active on Twitter

I’ve now joined the world of tweeters on Twitter. For those of you that subscribe via email and don’t often visit this actual blog website, there’s now a Twitter feed atop the right column on this page.

You can find me on Twitter at shsouthern.

I’ve long been fascinated and interested in social media, Web 2.0 and the like. Some of these tools/websites come and go rather quickly, or at least fail in the fight for supremacy (as evidenced by Facebook eclipsing MySpace). Others seem destined to become a permanent fixture in the lives of millions of users (for example LinkedIn).

I’m also active on both of these, and can be found at shsouthern on both Facebook and LinkedIn.

There’s a team at Parmasters Golf Training Centers Inc., our franchisor, actively exploring and strategizing specifically on social media and Web 2.0. It’s too early to tell where this will go. The focus, of course, is to strengthen our relationships with our members and the larger golfing public, and to add value to the lives of golfers on a daily basis. Exciting announcement lie ahead!

Allen Bonk, Director of Business Golf at Parmasters HQ, can be found on Twitter at QBusinessGolf.

Andre Ferris, Canadian Regional Franchisor for Parmasters, can be found on Twitter at PMCanada.

Much of yesterday was dedicated to a three-hour conference call with Parmasters HQ and the other franchisors across North America, Asia and Europe. We gather in conference every month to share updates from HQ, and also from individual franchisors. These meetings also serve as a forum to strategize, brainstorm, address problems, and seize opportunities.
