		<description>Hey DF,

I appreciate your comments on the boxgroove.com network. I am the VP of Marketing for boxgroove.com. We may not be growing &quot;daily&quot; but we are growing &quot;rapidly&quot;. We just launched our company in June of 2009 with a major focus in our home state of Ohio. Today we have 91 courses in the network.

Our network may not yet be at your doorstep, but our team is meeting with Country Club Management Companies, Golf Associations and Country Club GM&#039;s on a daily basis. The boxgroove.com network is more than just pins on a map. We strive to have partnerships that allow our golfers to truly &quot; test drive the country club experience&quot;

I hope you will continue to visit boxgroove.com and be part of the excitement that we are anticipating during the 2010 golf season. We made our Standard Membership &quot;free&quot;(includes small booking fee to get tee times)so golfers like yourself could come into the network and watch our growth.

Here&#039;s to getting on the TEE BOX soon!</description>

		<description>This article is promoting a good service that allows golfers to play courses they previously never had access to. I&#039;m promoting it because I think it&#039;s a good idea and I want to help get the word out. I don&#039;t see how you can have a problem with that.

I write about golf clubs, accessories, courses and more for nothing. I write because it&#039;s providing a service to golfers and I love doing it, but it costs money to design, host and run a website. I use some advertising and affiliate programs to offset those costs, and this is clearly disclosed on the legal page of this site. It&#039;s no different than if someone wanted to pay me money to place an ad on my website. I&#039;m not trying to fool anyone. If I didn&#039;t think what Boxgroove.com was offering was worth my time, I wouldn&#039;t write about it.

With all due respect, if you don&#039;t like what Boxgroove.com has to offer, then don&#039;t join.</description>

		<description>So in other words, this post is not really an informative thing or news really, just an advertisement for a service you get paid for if it works?  I get it now.</description>

		<description>I was not given anything for free, except the free membership. In fact, I am an affiliate, so I can make money by attracting new members. I&#039;m not hiding that fact, that&#039;s how you grow a business and make it great for everyone.

Boxgroove has a fantastic concept and like any new business, it takes time to add courses to their network. Boxgroove uses its affiliates (like me) to grow their network and attract more courses. The more the word gets out, the more courses join up, and the more options the members have. You will see this snowball effect in that regard. By the end of February we should have close to 100 courses.

Look, the standard membership is free, so what&#039;s there to complain about? If there aren&#039;t enough courses in your area, why don&#039;t you contact Boxgroove and ask them to get to work adding some? That&#039;s why they have a &quot;contact us&quot; link.

If you have any other questions/comments, I&#039;ll be happy to address them. Thanks!

		<description>The amount of courses is not growing every day.  More than half the states in this country have no courses it seems.  Heck most of the great golfing states like AZ and CA have virtually nothing (less than a handfull).  Unless you live in 1 of the 3-4 states that actually has multiple courses this service is kind of a joke.  I believe you said you live in FL, how is this service beneficial in FL.  Most of the courses are far too sparse except maybe Ft Myers.  

Perhaps you should let people know that you did not join and were given this service free for writing the blog post about it?  Just my thoughts.</description>
