Thaigolfer.com, the "all about golf" website under M-Web network, today announces the launch of "Thaigolfer Privilege Card", the first membership card for Net users and is supported by Heartland Golf Schools, offering special discounts on green fees and golf equipment purchases as well as a wide range of other privileges.
Mr. Kowin Kulruchakorn, founder and webmaster of thaigolfer.com, said, "The membership card is one of our new initiatives that offers privileges to Thai Internet users who are interested in or play golf. We hope the membership card will be an effective tool to strengthen our relations with our users as well as build a stronger and larger community of golfers who use the Internet."
Thaigolfer Privilege Card holders will enjoy various privileges including discounted green fees at over 50 golf courses and a number of golf pro shops, hotels and restaurants nationwide. For beginners and those looking to improve their game, the card offers a 10% discount on golf lessons at Heartland Golf Schools.
In addition to golf related services and products, card members will enjoy privileges at Data IT shops. Privileges include a free computer desk with the purchase of computer, free 50 hours Internet access with the purchase of a laptop or a 5% discount on computer magazines or games and accessories.
Internet users who play golf can apply for the card directly from Thaigolfer.com or from one of the partners (Data IT and Heartland Golf School locations). The first 2,000 members will receive a free Thaigolfer.com golf shirt and 15 hours Internet access from KSC.
"It is worth having a Thaigolfer Privilege Card because it gives more privileges and offers great savings for golfers. In the future, we will expand the privileges for our members. We also plan to arrange an annual golf tournament to give our members a chance to get to know each other and have fun together, which will help make a truly strong Internet using golfer community," Kowin said.
