Houston TX – Major Championship Winners Steve Elkington and Jack Burke Jr. have joined with golf instructor Mike Maves to launch a new venture called Secret In The Dirt. Taking its’ name from the famous golf phrase and title of Maves’ popular e-book SecretInTheDirt.com is an instruction and social networking website for golfers.
The free site uses video, audio and instruction articles collaboratively authored by Elkington, Burke and Maves, tapping into their 150 years of collective experience playing, teaching and learning about golf. The goal is simple. To help golfers improve their games.
At the same time the site provides tools for aspiring golfers, instructors and golf enthusiasts to network and communicate their ideas with one another. Jackie Burke states that “The future of golf is the good amateur” and the goal of Secret In The Dirt is simply to try to create more of them.
Beyond the instruction and communication tools, and perhaps even more interestingly, Secret In The Dirt provides golfers with a platform to showcase themselves. Whether a golfer wants to just have some fun building their own little Internet golf shrine or they want to create a serious profile in the hopes of getting discovered, secretinthedirt.com provides the necessary social networking features to give golfers exposure to the wider world, to college coaches and the like.
Remembering himself as an unknown junior golfer from a little place few people had heard of called Wagga, Elkington had a particular affinity for the project, “The idea that an Internet platform could be created to give global exposure to aspiring golfers has a special appeal to me.”
