For Partners
GolfInvestors continually is approached by various and non-golf related organizations to setup partnerships with them. As GolfInvestors is trademarked and is run on proprietary technology owned by GolfSolutions.com, LLC we try to be selective in who our partners are. To become a GolfInvestors Partner should be a respected privilege. Even if we might not be at the level of a BMW, Mercedes, or Porsche, we are striving to be and thus want the GolfInvestors partnerships program to be a respected privilege.
The following areas of partnerships have been classified at this time:
If these categories do not fit for you and you feel you have a partnership proposal which would benefit you and GolfInvestors, feel free to contact us at any time with your partnership proposal.
Media Partnerships
Media organizations can form partnerships with GolfInvestors for the purpose of building the brand of both the Media partner and GolfInvestors. To qualify as a Media partner, you must be either a TV-related, a radio-related, or an Internet content publishing organization.
Some of the benefits for Media Partners include:
- Additional Content for your Publication: Be able to add GolfInvestors content to your
newspaper, magainze, website, TV program, or radio program. Items like analyst reports, market news, and offering news.
- Customize the Look & Feel of GolfInvestors to fit your Program's Format: The format of GI's content
will be customized to your desires. The GolfInvestors content can easily
have your site's look & feel so your users do not know they have left
your site while logging into and trading on the GI markets.
- Control the Advertising and Sponsorships of your version of GolfInvestors: You control the advertisement and sponsorship rotation of your version of GolfInvestors so you can generate revenue from the usage of GolfInvestors by your users.
Example: Newspaper column
GolfInvestor market briefings and analyst reports can provide a column for a newspaper. To the right is an example of a column that was written about the GolfInvestors 2002 Season Market after Rich Beem won the 2002 PGA Championship. The column talks about how Rich Beem's stock [RIBEM] jumped in price on the 2003 Season Market during the last two days of the tournament. Beem ended up beating Tiger Woods by two strokes to claim his first major and 2nd tournament of the year (he had won The International a month earlier).
Note: The New York Times newspaper is used as a graphical example. GolfInvestors does not have a partnership with the New York Times at this time.
Example: Part of a Radio Show
GolfInvestors market briefings and analyst reports can be provided in audio format as part of a sports or financial radio show. Below is a sample transcript of an audio recording discussing a stock market's performance.

- Provide a co-branded version of GolfInvestors which would increase content for the partner and increase the exposure and usage of GolfInvestors.

Software Partnerships
GolfInvestors has benefited from public domain software on the Internet. We would like to acknowledge some of the important components that we use.
- Redhat Linux - a very strong and stable operating system which runs the GolfInvestor servers.
- Apache - a wonderful and stable web server application which servers up the GolfInvestor website pages to user.
- PHP - most of our custom code is written in the PHP scripting language, an awesome, quick way to code a powerful web-based system. PHP does most everything we need and our users require.
- MySQL - As with most stock markets, GolfInvestors provides a lot of data to our users. This data is stored in a stable and quick MySQL database.
- SmartBond Remote Explorer (SRE) - The SRE is our version control system written by developers at SmartBond.
