New PapaGolf Cards

I made (or participated in the making of, anyway) some business cards a couple of years ago to “advertise” the blog. I’ve given them all out, and while I very much doubt that anyone I ever gave one to actually visited the site, I want to make some more. If nothing else, it gives me an excuse to carry a picture of the airplane in my wallet to show to curious people. Eyebrows seem to raise uncontrollably when I have a wallet size picture of my airplane with me, but none of my family. Business cards don’t seem to have the same effect.

“A business card? For me? Can I keep it?”

I tried an alternative, and it was much more affordable, but it seems that the current blogspot address is actually easier to deal with:

But…. I see a lot of incoming Google searches using ‘Papa Golf’ or ‘Papa Golf Chronicles’ (and one that really cracked me up: ‘Brave Sir Hogarth’), so I went ahead and sprung for a one-year, $10 deal. You can now reach the blog using the old address, or the much hipper and trendy ‘www.PapaGolfChronicles.com’

The reason for the huge price difference between ‘PapaGolf’ and ‘PapaGolf Chronicles’ is cyber speculation. Someone has registered http://www.PapaGolf.com in the hopes of selling it at a huge profit to someone that wants it, more than likely as a golfing site.
