The internet certainly changes how things are done. Take golf instruction for example. In the past if you wanted to learn how to play golf, you would go to a golf club or driving range an pay a “pro” to give you some lessons.

Now you can take a lesson right on you computer, over the internet. GolfLessonAcademy.com offers group and private golf lessons via web cam.

Online golf lessons are scheduled throughout the week.

Now with the hoards of websites people have to search through and with which you must compete, seaches are an important gateway.  Search results however, don’t instill a warm and fuzzy feeling about a website – searches provide cold hard results.
