Space For Rent

Some of my recent posts have been critical of the some of the latest happenings going on in Dayton. Last night I did say that the purpose of this blog was for everyone in Dayton and I would like to reiterate that tonight. Specifically, I would like to offer some space on this blog to the golf course business.

Some of my suggestions:
1. I would be interested in receiving a weekly lunch/dinner special menu for the clubhouse. My thinking is if I could receive something on a Saturday or a Sunday through e-mail, I would be able to post the next week's specials on Sunday so anyone interested would be able to check to see what's on the menu for lunch/dinner.
2. If the Rec Board has an event that they want advertised, I would be more than happy to post those events.
3. If there is someone that would like to write a guest column, I would be also happy to post that column.

If others have suggestions, submit them at dayton.observer@gmail.com

Also, I encourage people to go try the food at the clubhouse. They do have some really good food.
I want to make clear that I have been critical of some of the decision-making surrounding the golf course, not that I want the golf course to fail. Heck, I enjoy the food and will continue spending money there.

  3. An email server isn't that difficult to send up. If people wanted to sign up for it, I wouldn't doubt if it would help sales.

  4. Sounds like some free publicity. Would be easy to do. I golfed with my dad years ago in Dayton. I still get the Dayton Review and read about this blog. "Interesting" The interenet has launched many businesses. I have one myself. An email server is a good idea. I looked for a Web site for the country club and couldn't find one. I read where you have a new supervisor grounds keeper. Maybe that person could set up a Web site. It could help business.

    Making a profit? Promoting your business? DUH

  6. I thought the Web site was a really nice suggestion. In this day and age, it's getting to be a business necessity.
    Thanks for the positive suggestion. Thanks for the positive topic for discussion.

  9. I posted last night about the web site. The cities web site is nice. It needs to be updated to 2009. When I did a search for the
    Dayton Golf and Country club several different ways, I did not find the cities site. I would be great if you had your own. I have noticed several nice things about this blog, I guess I look at it a different way since I am not directly involved.

  10. I probably could not find it because of the name. Oak Park Golf and Recreation. I was surpised that there is one in Red Oak with the same name.

  11. A government without newspapers, a gov't without a tough and vibrant media of all sorts is not an option for the United States of American. Quoted exactly from President Obama, last night at the journalism banquet. Thank you D.O. for introducing a tough and vibrant media to Dayton.

  12. I see no one took you up on your offer. It would have been free advertising. Pretty silly.
