Wall St. Journal 4/26
« on: December 07, 2006, 08:53:24 AM »
How did the Wall St. Journal become the stomping ground for Golf Club Atlas?

A mention of GCA in one article on architecture this past week, a 2nd article on courses and now this....

The following image is a 1/2 page advetorial in the Journal.
It is on pg. A3 for those of you with a copy on your desk.
Pick up a copy, or at least an Infiniti.





Cheers

Nice to see a local boy go global.

I immediately wanted to learn more about the FX.

Thats tight.
I'd hang that up in my room if I were you, or in your case the office.


Reminds me of yesterday's school newspaper.
I picked it up and apparently I wrote a letter to the editor.
Actually it was a class assignment that 'anonimously' was put in the papaer.
Now the cheerleaders are pissed at me.
I mean, when I wrote the letter that skirts were too short and shirts too tight it was just to get a good grade.
I didnt want the school to see it.

Wow, The Wall Street Journal!  Mike, perhaps you should open up a side biz and be a market maven. ;) ;D 8)

Should I buy Catepillar with the new building boom in golf, or based on how fast you and Joe are wearing out your dozers?

I wish you had... I was a little anxious posting this one.

Andy - what are you saying -  ;D
Don and the guys look funny at me sometimes parked next to all the F-250s, I do have a 100+ mile drive home - it takes like 40 minutes...   :D

Jordan - never lobby for shorter skirts or shorter hair - ever!
I contacted the artists that does the dot illustrations and he is sending me the original.

Now I know for sure what car NOT to buy.

Which of course helps because this car is way out of my price range anyway....

VERY cool, Mike.  But I have to admit I am busting up at it... I'm sure anyone who knows you has to be getting a chuckle this morning.

I do not know you Mike, but it says "he was attracted to the sleek, organic lines and curves . . . ".  You should use that in your own advertising. Relate the sleek organic curves of your car to the mounds and hollows of your courses.

Jim Franklin overlooked the "sleek organic curves" and went for the boxy look of a Hummer. If he is an architect, obviously no curves.

I never know what is going to come up next on this site!

Well done!

Jim, you ought to work up an art package for Nuzz's assistant, Grandpa Joe.  Isn't his endorsement deal for the Yugo or Edsel of somesuch?

RJ,

Fear not.  Joe's was one of the very first that popped into my mind.  Along with yours, Shiv's, Wigler's, Huckaby's, Mucci's, Arble's, Cenci's, Cronan's, Getka's, Thomas', and the list just goes on and on.  Each with their own very unique and well suited endorsement. ;D ;D

Cheers!

Huckster -
What are you trying to say... who is to say I didn't buy it used, with 1/2 a transmission.

I am just trying to follow Tom Simpson's lead - he used to drive up to clubs in a Rolls Royce with that air of invincibility.

Shivas -
Does the value of being in the Journal constitute payment?  Otherwise I am still an amateur.

Jim F. - want to race.... ?  ;)

Tim - organic lines can be found on the old courses greens.  

Jim T. - I do have a high resolution, but fear what you might come up with.  Hopefully nothing like what one of my college buddies had to say.  I won't reprint the whole thing, but the picture was of John Belushi and the tag line is...

Ever notice how the WSJ drawings always make everyone look like Mikhail Gorbachev?  ;)

Mike...I'm quite impressed.  I'm going to run out and get a copy at lunch.

Mucho congrats!  ;D

Andy - what are you saying -  ;D

The design business must be WAY better than the college prof business.  I've never been approached by Ford to endorse my 1994 Explorer.  :D

More seriously - this is really cool.  A neat thing to frame for your office wall.

Mike-For me it came down to the Infiniti FX or a 2001 Geo Metro. I guess that's why I've never been featured in an advertising campaign. ;D

Jordan,

Assuming you do not attend an all boys school, skirts and shorts on the cheerleaders can NEVER be too tight or short.

It was a good enough paper to get an 'A', but I never wanted it in the newspaper.
I am friend with all of the cheer and right now they wanna kill me.
 :'( :'( ...im an idiot... :'( :'(


Mike,
I have to say Im gonna get the Wall Street Journal now.
That ad is so sweet.
Its a nice car too!
I wish I was that cool!
