This Week at WorldGolf.com: Feb. 24, 2004

When we introduced the program last week at TravelGolf.com, we received an overwhelming response. Now we're going international with the new "Travel Marshals" program, which gives you the chance to tell thousands of readers about the best (and worst) courses in the world.

According to president Robert Lewis, we're searching for a few good Travel Marshals to write "detailed, informative, blatantly honest golf course reviews for Netcaddie.com to augment our professional, journalistic endeavors." Only serious golfers need apply. First and foremost is the ability to write clear, concise, and entertaining prose as it pertains to golf courses in your region, or regions you frequently visit.

Travel Marshals will not be paid for course reviews. However, they will be eligible for frequent giveaways, including equipment, apparel, and even golf vacations. If you think you're Travel Marshal material, fill out our online application before checking out our usual full roster of reviews and travel features this week. Start your reading with the newest installment of the Travel Golf Guy, where Shane Sharp comments on several intriguing travel trends. As always, your comments are welcome on any topic. Have a great week.
