Announcing the Official Site for the 2012 PGA Show Tweetup. We will be getting together at a place called the Brick House on Thrusday, January 26th at 8pm. For those that didn’t make it last year, a Tweet Up is simply a get together of people that know each other through Twitter. Last year, I organized my first tweet up at the show and it turned out to be a fantastic success. We ended up spending the entire night there and closed down the bar.

Based on last year’s success and our growing twitter networks, I expect this tweet up to be larger than last year. It is a great opportunity to meet the people you have been tweeting with for the past year. Last year I think we had almost 30 people in and out through the night so I’m hopeful that this year we get around 40 or so.

Please pass this around to those you know by sharing it on Twitter and Facebook. I will certainly be mentioning it in many places online.

Here’s a map of it’s location along with their telephone number.

Just wanted to share a little something that I was asked to participate in the other night. Here’s a link to an article written on the PGA.com website by John Kim talking about the use of Twitter by golf professionals and it’s uses for the golfing public.

Welcome to John Graham’s New Twitter Paper

As the number of good articles on Twitter continue to increase, I was looking for a way to gather them up and put them in one place so I wouldn’t miss anything.  So far, the best I have come up with is what you see above.  Basically, it is a paper I designed that will go through my Golf Pro list and pull tweets with video, pics and links in them into this one place. The only downside is that it doesn’t pull all of them.

It’s still a great way to catch up on things after a good nights sleep as things keep happening in different time zones all over the world.  The paper will update automatically at roughly 9am and 9pm EST. Please consider subscribing to it and I hope it help saves everyone some time.  It is simply the best collection of experts on the planet that contribute to this paper and are on twitter.

I hope you enjoy it.  Click this link to check it out.

Update:

I also created another paper at Tweetedtimes and I’d love to hear some feedback about which you think is better. I think the tweetedtimes paper is more complete and I’ve heard it was easier to read on the phone. Here’s a picture:

Here’s the link to the Tweetedtimes Paper.

In any event, I hope that one of these papers helps you to keep up with all the great information coming from Golf Professionals from all across the world.

A Tweet Up is just a fancy name for a get together.  It is called so because it involves the gathering of people that use Twitter.  I have organized a tweet up for Thursday, January 27th in Orlando, Florida.  It will begin around 8pm and be held at the International Drive location of Milller’s Ale House.  Because of the 2011 PGA Merchandise Show and a few other conventions going on that week, I was not able to reserve tables.  Because of this, it will be a bar and standing only Tweet Up.

I thought this would be a really good time to meet some other golf professionals that I have connected with on Twitter as there would be a good chance that many would be attending the Show.  I announced the tweet up on Twitter and Facebook a couple of days ago and have 10 people I am aware of already planning on attending.  If you are planning on attending and haven’t yet notified me, please leave a comment below with your intentions.  Please share this through email with others that you think might be interested and that don’t tweet or check their Facebook very often.

This post will serve as the main information source for the Tweet Up and I will post a map, directions and other pertinent information here in the next couple of days.

I hope to see as many tweeps there as possible and I can see already that this is going to be a great time.

Official Hashtag for the Tweet Up – #pgashow11

Hope to see you soon.
