The azaleas are blooming and spring is in the air. The weather is right for playing golf again and it's also time for Rounds 4 Research to crank up. For months now, chapters have been gathering rounds for the auction, enrolling as many courses as they can. Now, it's time to start to not only seek more donated rounds, but to begin promoting the auction to golfers. It takes everyone's help. Many rounds have gone unsold the past few years, likely because the right people didn't know about the auction.
If every member posted on Facebook or sent a tweet out across their network every few days during the auction, the Bidding for Good site will be a click away from millions of golfers. It doesn't take but a minute to compose a tweet or a Facebook post, and it's something that most of us do many times every day. Even if you like, favorite or share a post, it will accomplish the same goal of getting the word out to people every day the auction is open.
So for this year's R4R auction, let's put social media to work for us, not just for entertainment, but for making the auction a success and raising money for turfgrass research. With just a few keystrokes a day, you can help make a difference.
