Funniest Golf Video Clip Ever? – You Decide

Funniest Golf Video Clip Ever – You Decide

This maybe the funniest golf video I have ever seen. It’s a candid camera style clip taken at a local driving range.

The look on the players’ faces when the local  redneck shows up and starts shooting, at the golf balls in flight are priceless!

I hope it you enjoy it and share it with your friends.

Amway Grand Plaza Dreams Package Giveaway

Plaza Dreams Hotel Room Package

“Scott, are you paying attention to me?”

I awake from my trance and look up from the letter I had been working on to discover my beautiful bride had been talking to me for five minutes about a weekend trip we were planning with the kids.

Kids. That’s right. I have kids. Sometimes I forget. That is what happens when you have advanced level focus skills typical of high sports performers. Which leads me to my point and gift I have for the first person to respond to this letter at the upcoming West Michigan Golf Show.

A couple of years ago I was at a fundraiser for Health Intervention Services. There was an auction for a Plaza Dreams Hotel Room Package at the Amway Grand Plaza. I was deep in concentration. Deer in headlights look was in full effect. I thought it would be a really great gift for my lovely bride. The auction ended. I was the winner. All was good in my world.

Until I got home.

“When are we going to use that?” asked my beautiful bride.

“How about next weekend?” said I.

“What are we going to do with the kids?” said she.

“We have kids?” said I.

So much for that brilliant idea. So down to my office went the gift certificate. Into the pile of unending projects. Where it sat for two years until I cleaned my desk this winter. I asked my still lovely bride if she would like to use it and she informed me about the children. They are still in the house… and won’t be old enough to move out for 18 more years.

So I have decided to give it away to the first person who stops by to see me at the Watermark Country Club booth (#1219) at the West Michigan Golf Show and selects a customized coaching program. Your customized coaching program can be for the remaining 7 weeks of indoor season or for the upcoming outdoor season. I’ll be at the booth from 2:30pm to 4:00pm on Saturday Feb. 9^th and 1:30pm to 3pm on Sunday Feb. 10^th.

The Golf Show takes place at DeVos Place and the Watermark CC will be located at booth #1219.

Here are the details of the Plaza Dreams Hotel Room Package:

Amway Grand Plaza

For couples looking for an extraordinary way to get away from it all.

Your package includes:

• Overnight accommodations for two featuring a plush single king, or double queen beds, with pillow top mattress, down pillows, and cozy sheets for one spectacular evening.
• Evening turndown service.
• Access to the Plaza Fitness Center and all its amenities, including heated pool and hot tub.
• 24-hour concierge service.

*Available Friday and Saturday evenings only.

Champion Success Strategy: Week 2

Make 2013 The Year of Process

Hi Scott,

“People in the habit of losing overvalue victories and undervalue the process required to win. They want the thrill of the breakthrough, not the toil that comes before it. People in the habit of winning are the opposite: They find value and satisfaction in the preparation process.” – John C. Maxwell

I came across this quote by John C. Maxwell last weekend and added it to my keynote presentation about Grinding. It is one I perform for corporate America but applies just as much to your golf game.

I’m not only talking about the process you use to hit a golf shot, but all the processes throughout the entire round of golf, including pre-round and post-round activities. Processes for your pre-round meal, your evening preparations prior to the tournament, the way you mark your golf ball, the number of tees you keep in your pocket, the number of balls you hit to warm up, the number of seconds in your pre-shot routine, the steps you take to evaluate your round, your post round work out (or 19th hole) and even down to the process of how you breath in the car on the way to the event. These are all important processes to be consistent with, respect and relentlessly and selfishly protect and guard from distractions and indefiniteness.

But your processes need not be static forever. They must be flexible to change when necessary. Edison became famous for inventing the light bulb, but what he was lesser known for were the 10,000 processes he used to NOT invent the light bulb. Adjusting and adapting all along the way until he found the process that finally worked.

Your challenge this week is to right down at least 30 processes that you would use pre-round, in-round and post-round. Ask yourself if you respect them, repeat them and have confidence in them. Consider possible adjustments that would make them better and move forward towards a record 2013!

Speaker

Do You Need a Speaker or Expert Interview For an Upcoming Tele-Seminar, Webinar, or Live Event?
Scott is available as a speaker for your upcoming event, or as an expert interview for your tele-seminars, webinars or live event for your coaching groups, members or clients.

Why should you look into Scott and GrandRapidsGolflesson.com as a Topic of Interest for Your Clients?

First, I know how hard it is to come up with new and interesting topics to bring to your clients and members. How do you keep them coming back and wanting more? It’s been my experience that most people have a tough time mixing business and golf to increase sales and profits. Three Lessons From The Game of Golf That Apply To The Art of Business is a topic that will “WOW!” your herd. It’s new and different. A topic your clients likely haven’t heard before.

Second, for interviews, I will hand you turn-key interview questions and an outline of my answers so you can quickly and easily dive right into the call or webinar.

I will quickly and easily adjust my talk so to speak directly to your niche. Do you have a group of Insurance Agents? How about Doctors, or Dentists? Butchers, Bakers, Candlestick Makers?

It really makes no difference. I can speak directly to each individual niche with some quick changes to the script to meet the needs of your clients.

I have recently presented at Watermark Business Connections Group & Kentwood Rotary with upcoming engagements at Davenport University, Farm Bureau Regional Conference and Big Breakfast Group at Coral Gables CC in Ft. Lauderdale.

Letter From Lucas

Hi! My Name is Lucas Seifferlein and I am five years old. My Daddy just released the new cover of his book The Game of Golf & The Art of Business (It’s beautiful and you can find it at Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble.com and http://www.GrandRapidsGolfLesson.com/books) and he said I could do whatever I wanted with the leftover original books.

So I counted them all up. There are 121 of them all together (That is the highest I have ever counted). And I took them all and covered him right up. This is a picture of me making a silly face next to my Daddy and his books.
So What’s Next?
This was a fun thing to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon, but I am only 5 years old. What am I going to do with 121 books that teach you about the game of golf and the art of business?
Well, I have an idea. My Daddy is teaching me about free market capitalism and he told me I could sell the books for whatever price I wanted. So I worked the numbers and came up with an offer you cannot refuse (Seriously, you wouldn’t turn down a five year old… would you?)
Invest in a minimum of 100 (That is my favorite number) with the original cover (It’ll be worth a lot of money on Ebay someday, trust me) and I will send them to you so you can give them out to your employees, clients and vendors. They will LOVE it!

Because I would like to get these books into your hands right away (They are taking up space in my toy box), I am willing to give them to you for 30 cents on the dollar plus shipping. The book retails for $20.00. So you can get 100 of them for only $600!!
But hurry, I am sending this out to over 300 of Daddy’s business clients, including companies like Steelcase, Amway, Perrigo, Whirlpool, Spectrum Health, Meijer, Priority Health, MMBJ, Huntington and dozens of other large employers who would gobble up 100 of Daddy’s books in a heart beat.

Call my Daddy right away. Here is his direct phone number. 616.802.4969.

Sincerely,

Lucas
Daddy’s Little Free Market Capitalist

P.S. Call 616.802.4969 right away before the books are all grabbed up!

P.P.S. Good grief, look at the poor guy, help him get out from under all those books.

P.P.P.S. If you would like my Daddy to share the 3 Lessons Learned From the Game of Golf That Apply to the Art of Business, he is now booking keynotes for December & January.
