Going to the Show?
Jan 25
Just a quick post to let visitors know I will be attending the PGA Show this week. I’ll be there on Thursday so if you care to meet and say hello, or possibly discusss what Cedar Key Trading Co. can do to support your retailing efforts, by all means hit me up. Contact information is on the “Contact” page of my web site…funny how that works, isn’t it? Thanks for stopping by. Hope to chat with some of you at the Show.
As we toss our 2009 calendars, let’s hope 2010 brings some renewed interest for golf biz retailing. I personally am going through the process of giving all of Cedar Key Trading Company’s media a fresh look. “Open to Buy” now has a fresh new look. I hope you like it. The web site is going to get a makeover as well. Thanks to all of you for stopping by from time-to-time. Stay tuned, the events of the last quarter of ’09 will most certainly affect the business in 2010. I will dive into the details of that very soon. Also, 2010 is Cedar Key Trading Co. tenth year in business. It will be our best year ever. There are plenty of fresh new ideas and products coming, I hope you will stay with us. I think you’re going to be impressed. As always, Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate the support. And don’t forget to tell someone.
It has been a very long time since I’ve posted new material here on “Open to Buy.” Fear not, to those loyal few who keep stopping by, new material is on the way very soon. We will plow forward toward finishing the Golf Buyer’s Guide to Eyewear. Look for the next installment of that series to be posted by the first of next week. And there will be plenty more after that. Lot’s of new developments here at Cedar Key Trading Co. We are preparing some hot new products that will hopefully help inject some energy into this golf business. Thanks for stopping by, and don’t forget to tell someone…Peace!
Innovation is a good thing. The club and ball companies have done a fine job of utilizing the tools available to them, to develop the finest legal equipment ever. So much so, that the protectors of the game have mandated that now we have to intentionally back it down a notch. Read the rest of this entry »
“Bomb and Gouge” is a pretty popular term used to describe the type of game played by today’s professional golfers. It’s all about the power, baby. Hit it as far as you can, with little regard for accuracy, then find it and hit it again. Clearly, the USGA is trying to effect the “Gouge” part of this equation with the groove rule, making it more penal for a player to execute a quality golf shot from a less than ideal lie.

Just a quick post to direct your attention to our “About” page. For those not familiar with the company in general or what we do. As usual, Cedar Key Trading Co. is out in front of the trends in the golf biz, creating and using this blog to provide information, and whatever support we can within this platform.
Working the Basics
Feb 26
This blog thing is a totally new experience for me. I’m excited about the prospects, and most particularly very interested to see how it will evolve. This starting point utilizes a very basic layout and framework. Hopefully, as we progress more bells and whistles will be added to make this platform more engaging and cool. If you’ve found this little slice of the net, you are indeed a specialist. Please join in with your thoughts and comments. Contreversy and different views are always welcome, but above all else let’s keep it clean and respectful of others.
Testing….Is thing on?
Feb 25
My first post to the Open to Buy blog. This is the spot where I will pass along ideas and concepts to help golf shop merchandisers optimize thier efforts. I will also offer some commentary on the golf industry in general. Highlighting various events that seem to be the focus of attention, or maybe should be getting a little more attention.
