Bubba 2/27/03 10:31 AM didn't I tell you?
woozle 2/27/03 10:31 AM You may have mentioned it, but it's not
wringing a belle
Bubba 2/27/03 10:32 AM the...Less Than Perfect Golfers Association

woozle 2/27/03 10:33 AM ok... what's the domain?
Bubba 2/27/03 10:33 AM some folks know about it and have asked when
at least something about it will be up
Bubba 2/27/03 10:34 AM ltpga.com
woozle 2/27/03 10:34 AM Give me a couple of minutes; in the middle of
something... I will have to set up an account
for the domain, and it will probably take
24-48 hours for the routers to start
recognizing it... tho I can give you the IP
address for uploading stuff.
Bubba 2/27/03 10:34 AM shweet
Bubba 2/27/03 10:36 AM stepping out for a moment
woozle 2/27/03 10:41 AM IP: 66.221.170.205 (use this as Host in ftp)
user: ltpga
pass: holeIn100
Bubba 2/27/03 10:41 AM 100?
Bubba 2/27/03 10:41 AM i wish
woozle 2/27/03 10:42 AM Well... if you're less than perfect, it might
take you 100 strokes instead of 1...
Bubba 2/27/03 10:42 AM last time out I shot a 101
woozle 2/27/03 10:42 AM ha
Bubba 2/27/03 10:42 AM for 18
woozle 2/27/03 10:42 AM maybe I should change it to 1000
Bubba 2/27/03 10:42 AM whittling it down slowly
Bubba 2/27/03 10:42 AM 100's fine
woozle 2/27/03 10:42 AM work on that... sounds like 100 isn't too far
off the mark, anyhow...
woozle 2/27/03 10:43 AM What's the site for? Income stream? Selling
golf schtuff?
Bubba 2/27/03 10:43 AM progression so far on my outings 107, 104,
102,101
woozle 2/27/03 10:43 AM 100 is a goal, then...
Bubba 2/27/03 10:43 AM site will be a members thing
woozle 2/27/03 10:44 AM hmm... ok....
Bubba 2/27/03 10:44 AM gonna need a member sign up db
woozle 2/27/03 10:44 AM I'm working on one for gnumusiq.com, too...
guess you can have a copy when it's working
Bubba 2/27/03 10:44 AM membership #'s and all that rot
woozle 2/27/03 10:44 AM Is someone else sponsoring this, or is it
spozedta pay for itself?
Bubba 2/27/03 10:45 AM self
woozle 2/27/03 10:45 AM how does the income stream work?
Bubba 2/27/03 10:45 AM am looking for investors
Bubba 2/27/03 10:46 AM a chunk for a % to get started getting it
working
woozle 2/27/03 10:46 AM ok
Bubba 2/27/03 10:46 AM stream works like...
Bubba 2/27/03 10:48 AM $20 - LTPGA hat, 2 stickers (one for a direct
on viewing, second for inside the window of a
vehicle so it can be read on the way by) and a
paper membership card w/their name and member
#
Bubba 2/27/03 10:48 AM $3 into costs
woozle 2/27/03 10:48 AM ok...
woozle 2/27/03 10:49 AM $3 for cost of "freebies", you mean?
Bubba 2/27/03 10:49 AM upon becoming a "scratch" golfer (par or
better) they get a bag tag that says "Former
Member"
Bubba 2/27/03 10:50 AM not really freebies, hust what they get for
their $20
woozle 2/27/03 10:50 AM ha
woozle 2/27/03 10:50 AM so you have $17 left over to go towards other
expenses & (hopefully) profit
Bubba 2/27/03 10:50 AM will have bag tags and other merch made up to
sell along the way
Bubba 2/27/03 10:50 AM rt
woozle 2/27/03 10:50 AM any other member benefits?
Bubba 2/27/03 10:51 AM web site to include tips from pros and links
to golf merch affiliate sites so they "May not
be the best, but they can be the best dressed"
and so on
woozle 2/27/03 10:52 AM Tips... how you gonna get those?
Bubba 2/27/03 10:52 AM will email some pros and ask if they'd like to
help people become former members
woozle 2/27/03 10:53 AM They'll probably want a fee, and it will
probably be large
Bubba 2/27/03 10:53 AM like notches on their teaching guns so to
speak
Bubba 2/27/03 10:53 AM exposure is $
woozle 2/27/03 10:53 AM They're already pros, they don't need more
exposure
Bubba 2/27/03 10:53 AM publish or perish
woozle 2/27/03 10:53 AM You might be able to buy some syndicated
columns or something
woozle 2/27/03 10:53 AM But either way, you'll need $ is my guess
Bubba 2/27/03 10:54 AM I will check out some random pros w/the query
and let you know the tone
woozle 2/27/03 10:54 AM k
Bubba 2/27/03 10:59 AM w/golf courses offering memberships for a 10%
commission of each sale a sales force is
already established and since your product
only takes up a "3 Day Cruise" box on the
counter space I see 100 million people playing
the game w/a market share of 1/2 of 1% =
500,000 members X $20 = $10 million - costs of
$7/per = $6.5 million
Bubba 2/27/03 11:01 AM anyway that's what it is
woozle 2/27/03 11:01 AM Seems optimistic, but what do I know...
Bubba 2/27/03 11:01 AM that's best case scenario of course
woozle 2/27/03 11:01 AM You'd probably have to spend millions to get
that market share... yes, the potential for
profit is there, but what's that 0.5% based
on?
Bubba 2/27/03 11:02 AM I've shown the sticker to many golfers and
they ALL want to be notified when it's running
Bubba 2/27/03 11:03 AM I just tell them to keep checking hte site
woozle 2/27/03 11:03 AM So golfers are willing to shell out $20 to get
the "freebies" described?
woozle 2/27/03 11:03 AM How much do you have to put up front to get
them printed?
Bubba 2/27/03 11:04 AM when I tell them about the former member bag
tag, they all get a cheshire cat grin
Bubba 2/27/03 11:04 AM don't have all quote requests in yet
Bubba 2/27/03 11:05 AM and it's looking like China will be like
pennies per and Dome Tag http://dometag.com is
like about $1 per sticker until quantity get
high enough
woozle 2/27/03 11:06 AM ok
Bubba 2/27/03 11:07 AM as such I was thinking about 2 options 1 for
$19.99 and a Supreme Pkg for like $29.99
19 - China stuff
29 - Dome Tag etc.
Bubba 2/27/03 11:07 AM but if they come in low enough, then DT all
the way
Bubba 2/27/03 11:09 AM the Dome part of it is a thick clear flexible
coating magnifies whatever is underneath
woozle 2/27/03 11:09 AM huh...
Bubba 2/27/03 11:09 AM Guaranteed for 3 years in direct Florida salt
mist sunshine to not yellow
woozle 2/27/03 11:10 AM well, that's something...
Bubba 2/27/03 11:10 AM you've seen their works, I'm sure
woozle 2/27/03 11:10 AM I'll keep an eye peeled
Bubba 2/27/03 11:10 AM on the fronts of computers, refridgerators
Bubba 2/27/03 11:11 AM super strong acrylic adhesive so it's really
imbedded in the product like it may be screwed
on
woozle 2/27/03 11:12 AM can you peel it off your windshield when it
starts to yellow after 3 years?
Bubba 2/27/03 11:12 AM I'll send you one of the sample pieces they
sent me
woozle 2/27/03 11:12 AM k
Bubba 2/27/03 11:12 AM probably w/acetone (finger nail polish
remover)
Bubba 2/27/03 11:13 AM only the ones sold in FL will suffer that fate
Bubba 2/27/03 11:13 AM and they are the ones that never see shade
woozle 2/27/03 11:13 AM well... 4 years for GA, 5 years in NC...
Bubba 2/27/03 11:13 AM rt
Bubba 2/27/03 11:13 AM 35 in oregon
woozle 2/27/03 11:16 AM did you get my email about those shirts to
pull?
Bubba 2/27/03 11:16 AM y
woozle 2/27/03 11:16 AM k
Bubba 2/27/03 11:16 AM and they got pulled w/the last batch
Bubba 2/27/03 11:16 AM and the inventory was wrong
Bubba 2/27/03 11:17 AM they were both in the same box
woozle 2/27/03 11:17 AM I have no way of knowing what you pull or ship
if you don't send me a list, you know...
Bubba 2/27/03 11:18 AM thought you got both from the shipped part
woozle 2/27/03 11:18 AM I don't always remember to also pull them...
that's why I ask for a list of stuff you pull.
Bubba 2/27/03 11:18 AM if I couldn't find it to ship it then I'd say
something
Bubba 2/27/03 11:19 AM so now it's that there needs to be a reporting
of pulled/not pulled and shipped
woozle 2/27/03 11:19 AM It also takes time to hunt down where you
might have pulled them from, and if the same
shirt is available in more than one box then I
have to figure out which box you got it from
or ask, which slows everything down further
woozle 2/27/03 11:19 AM a list of what's been pulled, from where, and
a list of what's been shipped -- along with
the usual shipment data
Bubba 2/27/03 11:21 AM Laurie Bowman needs status of her order
emailed to her
woozle 2/27/03 11:21 AM ok
Bubba 2/27/03 11:22 AM she says that she has put off telling people
for 6 years where she gets her PHAT T's and
now she can't hold back any longer and we're
gonna be the place she directs them
woozle 2/27/03 11:22 AM Cool. I'm looking up the info rt now
Bubba 2/27/03 11:22 AM I think we should throw in a something as a
thanks
Bubba 2/27/03 11:23 AM she wants cards to pass out
woozle 2/27/03 11:23 AM Sure... any ideas? Looks like I haven't
ordered any of her stuff cuz I'm waiting for
money... I was thinking of doing the MT order
today, but I have to make a bank deposit
woozle 2/27/03 11:23 AM Cards: was there something suitable amongst
the images you sent me a few months back? If
so, I'll try to print up a bunch.
woozle 2/27/03 11:24 AM S is back from errands, so I have to go to the
PO and bank now.
Bubba 2/27/03 11:24 AM k
woozle 2/27/03 11:24 AM oh -- are you "Bubba" or "Bahb" to Laurie?
Bubba 2/27/03 11:24 AM Bubba
woozle 2/27/03 11:25 AM thx... working on email b4 I go
woozle 2/27/03 11:29 AM ok, email away and heading off for errands.
TTYL
Bubba 2/27/03 11:30 AM k
Bubba 2/27/03 2:51 PM I need to use the ST card cuz my card won't
let me activate it
woozle 2/27/03 2:51 PM how much $?
woozle 2/27/03 2:51 PM and wut 4?
Bubba 2/27/03 2:51 PM I've called Mary at BB&T and started the
process of a new one
Bubba 2/27/03 2:51 PM classifieds in the Athens paper to sell some
cars
woozle 2/27/03 2:52 PM $10-ish?
Bubba 2/27/03 2:52 PM about 20 per and there are 3
Bubba 2/27/03 2:52 PM they suck and only give you 16 characters per
line
Bubba 2/27/03 2:53 PM so it always runs into extra lines at $3 per
Bubba 2/27/03 2:53 PM base of 12
Bubba 2/27/03 2:53 PM $12
woozle 2/27/03 2:53 PM As long as you can get a deposit in by
tomorrow, should be ok -- I wrote the BB&T
acct a check for $130, but it will take a few
days to come back in and debit the ST account
Bubba 2/27/03 2:53 PM was what I was thinking
woozle 2/27/03 2:53 PM k
woozle 2/27/03 2:53 PM lmk the total
