The above award commemorated Ben's captaincy at the Ryder Cup, and
he was gracious enough to sign the awards for the four first place
winners
at one of Doubleagle's corporate events, something for which I will
always be grateful. But, Doubleagle Golf is about much more than
awards
and gifts. It is about service and entertainment. Most Tour players
today, command a fee of $20,000 - $50,000 for one day's appearance.
My services
are far more affordable, and much more likely to be more flexible and
available. My fees start at $750 a day, plus expenses, and I will
work
for periods as short as one day, or as long as a week at a time.
Through my expertise as a professional golfer, I can help create and
organize your tournament, teach and entertain your most important clients,
and make golf a more enjoyable experience for all involved. The group
can be as small as two, and as large as two hundred - it makes no difference.
But there are a myriad of choices available to you, and your limits
are only those of your imagination.
Quite often, for example, I have taken a group of clients to Whispering
Pines Golf Club for a round of golf and instruction. Whispering Pines
is one of the most exclusive and highly rated golf courses in Texas,
located about an hour and forty-five minutes north of Houston, near
Trinity, Texas. I predict it will be ranked number one in the state
within the next few years. It is a fabulous place to entertain a small
group of your most important clients or employees. The play is limited,
the service and amenities are phenomenal, and the golf course is nothing
short of a Pine Valley experience. This can be available to any client
of mine who wishes to utilize my services on the golf course.
If your corporation is looking for a great facility to host their
company tournament, or host a small group that is closer to town,
I would love
to help you book your event at Cypress Lakes Golf Club. My affiliation
with Cypress Lakes has been a new one, as Champions Tour representative
and instructor.
I believe that Cypress Lakes has the finest putting surfaces in Houston;
bar none. Willy Plowman, Cypress Lakes Green Superintendent, is a
genius
when it comes to growing grass! Let Doubleagle Golf help you book your
next outing at Cypress Lakes. We can promise you special attention,
competitive rates, and most of all - a great time!
Be sure to go to the The Featherie Challenge section of this website and take a look at what we have there. I have
recently added the “Gutty” to the challenge, and it shows
even more substantially the evolution of the game from it’s feather
roots, to the modern ball of today. The “Gutty”, or gutta
percha ball, immediately followed the featherie and was used by golfers
in Scotland from 1850 to 1900. Playing a shot or a hole with these clubs
and balls is a rare and memorable experience, one that few have had.
I love it because it shows just how far the game has come in a relatively
short period of time, and allows the average golfer to appreciate the
game as it was played over 150 years ago. Adding the Featherie Challenge
to your event is one experience that you will remember forever.
Finally, I am available to speak to your group or organization whether
it is at the conclusion of your golf tournament, or providing education,
motivation, or inspiration to a group setting, such as a luncheon or
dinner. You only have to read a couple of Chicken Soup stories, or my
column in the Houston Sports News to appreciate the years of experiences
in and around golf that I have had in my lifetime. I have been truly
blessed with the friendships and acquaintances of some of the games
greats. Being a part of this grand game at some of the highest levels
has granted me friendships and experiences that are priceless. I always
enjoy sharing them with others.
