Executive summary
In 1984, Fantastic Golf Company was created in Tampa, Florida in order to manufacture and distribute high-quality, affordable golf clubs and equipment. Fantastic uses the same successful business model as high-end golf balls companies like Callaway, Titleist and Taylor Made. Design and assembly of fantastic clubs occurs at the Tampa facility. Like its high-end competitors, the company uses the latest golf club technology to create products with ultimate playability. But, fantastic provides its retailers with a mid-range price point and the best sales margins in the golf industry. The end result is a comparably high-quality, high-performance golf ball with a more attractive price tag. In January 2004, Fantastic Golf Company expanded its market to Sweden. By using the same business model like our home market, we were able to conquer a multi-bil...

...inks he is more important than anything else and will not even think about going out of his way to do anything nice for anyone or anything. Both Johnny and Dally’s similarities and differences balance each other out.
A little while ago I figured the best way to rid one of my stresses was to find a video on Youtube for instructions on how to properly use those damn toilet seat covers. Why are there no instructions? Why is it covered in armor? Does the flap go on the back or the front? Is it a poop slide? Is it a Splash guard? Do I do it the old fashion way and use squares to cover a semi-circle? That's too time-consuming and what if I walk out with squares on the heels of my shoe or a toilet paper tail? People in line will look at each other and wonder, "why didn't he use the toilet seat covers and save himself the embarrassment?" Would anyone tell me? How long would it be before it's discovered? I would hope that it would be way before I go for a refill.
Johnny and Dally are both very contrasting characters in the book; however they do have their similarities. Also, they both look up to each other. In the novel, Johnny is the character that reflects sensitivity and weakness. Johnny is constantly beaten by his father and is ignored by his mother. He has lost many things in life that others may take for granted. A quote from the novel describes Johnny as a “dark puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers” on page fourteen. Johnny’s soft and delicate personality is evident in that statement, especially when he is referred to a “puppy”. The image of a puppy implies vulnerability, a reflection on Johnny’s personality. Whereas Johnny is the vulnerable spot in the Greasers, Dally is on the other hand, the exact opposite. Dally is cold-hearted and hard, and plays the character of the devil in the novel. A quote from the book describes Dally’s eyes as “blue, blazing ice, cold with the hatred of the whole world” on page fourteen. This quote describes Dally as a cold character, and refers to the fact that Dally has seen many more hardships in his life than happiness. You can see that Johnny and Dally are both very different. However...
In 1519, Martin Luther wrote the sermon Two Kinds of Righteousness to address the righteousness of God in Christ and how it is received and related to the Christian life. There are two kinds of Christian righteousness; the first one is alien righteousness and this is the righteousness of another, which is the righteousness in the eyes of God. This is the righteousness we received from God. According to the sermon, Dr. Luther relates, “Mine are Christ’s living, doing, and speaking, his suffering and dying, mine as much as if I had lived, done, spoken, suffered, and died as he did” (Sermon 86-87). All people are righteous on account of Jesus’s death and justifying resurrection. However, men would rather “… deserved

The scope of golfing marketing is interesting because I was unaware how much money is actually spent in the sport. In the article a U.S. golfer was used as an example, which stated that a U.S. golfer spends around "$24.3 billion on equipment and fees;19.7 billion on public and private green fees and dues; $4.7 billion on equipment and $26.1 billion a year on golf travel" (article). When I saw these statistics, it surprised me that the expenses are highly expensive especially if one decides to travel for golf.
Promotion strategy: Information on product benefits and features, price and easy accessibility is communicated effectively and efficiently to the target audience. It involves determination of key messages and delivering these messages through communication channels such as advertising, public relations, events and word of mouth.

Advertising lies in the Promotion part of Marketing Mix, but it applies to all the other P's as well. Promoting one’s business is the key ingredient to making one’s business successful. Promotion, along with a great product, key placement, and a reasonable price, will help a marketer work his way to the top. Promoting does not mean leaving his advertising up to the word of mouth of his current customer.
