Summary

765: We live in unprecedented times that demand seeing the world in different ways. This week we speak to Eric Sedransk, a golfer, tech entrepreneur, and serial volunteer who came up with a unique idea to raise money in NYC to feed front line workers and first responders during the first wave of the pandemic. It worked so well that he created a golf fundraising platform for nonprofits called Member For A Day. Now anyone can bid on charity auctions that provide access to some of the most exclusive courses in the world. Join his mailing list at MemberForADay.com and get notified when a new auction has been announced. It’s harder than ever to organize charity tournaments, but this will help your favorite nonprofit generate a tremendous amount of money without the logistics of running an all day event. Listen for details. Congratulations to Chris B of Narborough, Leicester, England winner of a ShotScope V3 GPS & Performance Tracker courtesy of shotscope.com. Our next giveaway is for a new pair of SQAIRZ golf shoes courtesy of sqairz.com. These shoes are so impressive that Sir Nick Faldo has recently said that they’re "the best golf shoes ever made” and has partnered with the company! Deadline to enter is Sunday, November 15, 2020 at Midnight PDT/3a EDT. Enter at GolfSmarter.com/giveaway2020. Listen for details. Golf Smarter listeners get a $10 discount on SQAIRZ with the code “golfsmarter10”. This week on the Golf Smarter Mulligans episode 81 is part 2 with custom club maker, Dan Sacks who answers listener questions about clubs, fitting, grips, and more.For exclusive content and first access check out Corrected Mistakes on Substack: https://substack.com/@correctedmistake Learn more about your ad choices.
